But seriously, the following quote came from @Aaron_Eyler via Twitter #edchat hashtag.

The best indicator of classroom management might even be what the kids do the days you AREN’T in school.

I know I love it when I return to my class to find reports that they’ve been wonderful and got through everything I planned for them.

What do you think? Is it an accurate measure of your classroom management?

This year I am working with an extra staff member on my grade, a result of two teachers sharing a part-time load.

It was very nice, but not necessary  🙂  , of this teacher when she gave us a little personalised notepad. Funnily enough, all the women I’ve shown it to have laughed out loud.

The notepad came also with a note, of which I quite liked the quote that was written:

Paul,

Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.

Looking forward to 2010

Jemma

Very nice.

The mediocre teacher tells.

The good teacher explains.

The superior teacher demonstrates.

I was working on a Kindergarten class today. Towards the end of the day, out of the blue, one of the Kinder boys said to me:

You’re the best teacher I’ve ever had Mr Gray!

I thought “Wow” at first, then remembered that this KINDER kid has only been at school for just over four weeks!! I thought it’s probably not very fair to take that complement on board as very meaningful???

Capitalisation is the difference between “I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse…” and something else entirely.
