May: the educator’s most challenging month of the year

Posted by in Education, Library, teacher librarian

May is here and that means most students (and many teachers too) are looking forward to summer break.  Our last day of the regular school year is May 31. I love that we are out before June arrives (well, not me, as I have ten more days to go beyond teacher workdays.) Earning our paycheck…and […]

My intern the other day shared with a colleague that she thinks she is more interested in an elementary setting than secondary.

Hi Karen, Im following you on facebook and I just wanted to say thank you! Thank you s much for all of the pins you share. I am a primary school teacher and mother living in Australia and I, like you, am hooked on pinterest. I love it when teachers find ideas and share them freely, I wish there was more of this. I love the ideas you’ve shared and look forward to practising them once I get back into the classroom (babies at the mo!). Thanks again for helping education to be engaging and fun:)

So we try to snag YA  Lit attention through […]
