Module Prep and What I'm Reading Now

In preparation for teaching the new 6th grade module next year, I am reading The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan.

For a little French Chef nostalgia, enjoy the video of Julia Child's famous Boeuf Bourguignon…

Cool Behavior Management Software

I just want to share my great experience using this cool Behavior Management Software which I tried with my classes last year.

Feel free to visit the website, give it a try and see… Continue
