Hey everyone,It's time once again for INTERACTIVE MONDAY!!My question today is What are you reading this summer? If you're like me, you're often too busy to read anything good during the school year. So when the summer months come around, you try to cram in everything that you've been missing for those nine months.I just finished reading a Steve ...

It occurred to me last week that it has been a long, long time since I have done a question for INTERACTIVE MONDAY.  As I was having that thought, an easy question came to mind as well.   Looking back at the just-concluded school year, what was your most, or one of the most, surreal moments?  I define a surreal moment as something ...

OK, I feel like I'm just about at my wit's end here. And since I haven't done an INTERACTIVE MONDAY in quite awhile, I figure my dilemma would be good to ask other teachers about. My principal keeps saying that this time at the end of the school year is the time when Master Teachers show themselves, but I keep looking in the mirror, and I'm not ...

Monday Monday, you know the rest... But the good thing is that it's time for another INTERACTIVE MONDAY!!! This is the last Interactive Monday for the March Monday Madness Contest. Next week, I will draw the two names for prizes from the pool of everyone who has submitted a witty rejoinder to an Interactive Monday question. This week's ...

Well, if you know ANYTHING about college basketball, then you will understand what I mean when I say that my bracket is completely busted. My picks were perfect after the first day (even though my own alma mater, Duke, deserved to lose), and after the first two days, I was looking really good. Not to mention that I had Friday off from school, so I ...

Don't you just hate losing an hour over the weekend? Well, the good thing for me is that this week is my Spring Break, so I was able to sleep in for that extra hour and make it up this morning. And since it's Monday, it's time for another INTERACTIVE MONDAY!!!! This is your second chance to get in on the March Monday Madness contest, for the ...

Hey everyone, it's March! And as we all know, we can't have March without a little Madness! So to celebrate, let's have ourselves a little contest! (And possibly use a few more exclamation points!!!) This contest will run through the month of March, and it will tie in to the Interactive Mondays that occur during the month. It's quite simple to ...

  Not that I watch them or anything, but I did hear rumors that the Academy Awards were on Sunday night. As usual, I've hardly seen any of the movies up for Best Picture award, so the presentations really just don't mean that much to me. But, I thought the topic might make for a fun edition of this week's INTERACTIVE ...

Good evening everyone, as you might gather from the title of this post, I am not too enamored with a test I took today after school. Actually, I am currently exhibiting extreme self-control not to express exactly how ticked off I am at this test.Here in Texas, we call it the TELPAS. Don't ask me what it stands for -- I'm sure the T is for Texas, ...

And unlike the television show Lost, you can jump right into this one even if you're new!Here's this week's question:What is the funniest thing a student has said to you this year?If this were ...
