Teachers are RIGHT about Proofreading

Sometimes It Seems Like All The Teacher Talks About is PROOFREADING

 

Proofreading involves a sometimes tedious task of examining your text carefully to find and correct typographical errors and mistakes in grammar, style, and spelling.



So WHY is proofreading so important? 
I mean, computers can take care of it pretty simply.  
So WHY is the teacher nagging us?

Well...Sometimes you have to write things that aren't involving a computer and spell check. 

I had to laugh at some of these proofreading mistakes: 








Writing Teachers, English Teachers, Writers, Editors, and Students Need to Focus on 

Proofreading....or is it Proof Reading?

Tell Me, Teach Me...A Motto for Teachers

Teachers follow the divine calling to help others learn. 

 

Benjamin Franklin's quote has become the motto that wise teachers embrace in planning effective instruction:

First year teachers have a tremendous task in organizing the classroom routines while instructing students.  Just completing that first year of teaching is a reason to celebrate.

Librarians, English teachers, and Science teachers can get a few laughs with this message about big books.

Only real teachers know what it takes to effectively teach students the subjects in the best ways.  You cannot legislate good teaching methods.
One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
Carl Jung

I like the way this tie is personalized to the History and Geography teacher, while maintaining a professional appearance.

Back to School is a Time to INSPIRE

Back to School time is both exciting and grueling for students, parents, and teachers!  The energy and enthusiasm in meeting new people and launching a new set of goals is great.  But changing routines and dropping those lazy Summer habits are really draining.

It's fun to get new clothes for Back To School season. Teachers and students can get into the spirit of Back To School with inspirational message t-shirts.

Family is the first school for young children, and parents are powerful models.

Have You Seen The Magic That is Happening in Third Grade?

By now, all the students are settling into the school routines.  Third grade teachers are probably busy getting students back to reading, writing, math, social studies, and science.  Third Grade is a grade with expectations of increasing independence.  It's also the first step into the Intermediate Grades.  That's a big deal for families!!!


I have taught in all the grade levels between Kindergarten and 5th grade... that is except third grade.  So I always feel like I missed that opportunity.  And I don't think I'll make that move at this point of my career.


Why not find some items that promotes the idea that 

Third Grade students and teachers are in a place 

where MAGIC HAPPENS?
