If I were a principal interviewing potential teachers, one question I would ask of every candidate would be “What is the best book you’ve read this year?”. The answer would provide a lot of useful insight.

I teach Spanish. We're reading The House on Mango Street in class. Sandra Cisneros is Mexican American. That's my justification, and I'm sticking to it.
The real reason is that grades are already in, two weeks are left, every other teacher is showing a movie, and only one girl raised her hand when I asked who reads for fun.
One.
So we're reading. And we're going to have fun doing it. I'll make sure of that.

RT @ParanormalJunk2: All the kids in my class silent read for 20 minutes every day. All of them.
And I read out loud to them for 15 minute…

Watched that Netflix doc "The Crash," last night.
Absolutely gutting.

Our G/T superheroes took the hot seat today, tackling a big question: What role do creative thinking & clear communication play when information is limited? With @Ms_Proulx leading the way, our 6th-grade advisory is exactly where this kind of thinking thrives. #KMSCougarPride🐾
