http://msbsgotclass.blogspot.com/2014/10/my-personal-learning-target-i-can-be.html

Ms B's Got Class. Tuesday, October 7, 2014. My Personal Learning Target: I can be organized! Yep, I've got a "Learning Target" for myself. It's all about getting organized.with my teaching and with my life. But those days are over! With my new school and more time on hands has come the ability to start fresh, and be the teacher I have always wanted to be. So here's a little peek at my classroom. My lovely bulletin boards. Oh, and you can see my binders for the classes I'm teaching. I have always atte...

Ms. B's Got Class: October 2014

http://msbsgotclass.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Ms B's Got Class. Thursday, October 23, 2014. Cold Case Files: Caesar Edition. All about how much I love Shakespeare? Yeahwell, I wouldn't say that I love. While at first I was excited to teach this play to my sophomores, last weekend when I finally finished reading it, I realized how boring it is.and confusing. I struggled to keep Flavius, Murellus, Decius, and Lepidus and [insert another weird Roman name here] all straight; how was I going to expect my sophomores to? First, I got permission from my pri...

Ms B's Got Class. Sunday, December 28, 2014. Top 10 Teaching Tools of 2014. Student's phones become their buzzers. So easy and fun! I am listing Kahoot! First because if you don't get through the rest of this list, this is the most. Fun tool to add to your classroom. My students go nuts when it's a Kahoot day, and I don't end up frustrated or feeling like my classroom got out of control. It's a win-win. This is not me or my classroom.but, oh, I wish it was. Reason #2: They include keyboards. Surprisi...

Ms. B's Got Class: What Year 5 Looks Like

http://msbsgotclass.blogspot.com/2015/04/what-year-5-looks-like.html

Ms B's Got Class. Thursday, April 2, 2015. What Year 5 Looks Like. Teachers like to state how many years they have been teaching. There aren't promotions in the teacher world like the business world, so keeping track of our years is one of the few badges of honor we get. And there is. Something satisfying about knowing you've been in this field for a long time, defying the rumors of "teacher burnout" and returning to the classroom September after September with a fresh tally mark on the resum é. Even yes...

Ms. B's Got Class: October 2013

http://msbsgotclass.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Ms B's Got Class. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. 4 Words I Just Don't Like. Hate's a strong word. So I'm not going to say that I hate these words, but I do cringe when I see them written and/or spoken. Specifically, in a sentence such as this: "I bring a pencil to class everyday". You can't just combine 2 words together whenever you want. There are RULES, people! Really, the book was interesting? There are a hundred other words that are more specific than the word "interesting." To Kill a Mockingbird.

Ms. B's Got Class: Farewell '14

http://msbsgotclass.blogspot.com/2014/11/farewell-14.html

Ms B's Got Class. Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Recently, on the radio on my long contemplative commute to work, I heard someone say. Everyone always says that everything happens for a reason. But that's not true. Everything just happens. And we assign a reason to it.". This idea hit me hard, and it made me stop and think, not just consume mindlessly like the rest of the adorably inspirational photos I've pinned to my "Remember This" board. We need to take more ownership of the outcome of these "things t...

Ms. B's Got Class: November 2013

http://msbsgotclass.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Ms B's Got Class. Monday, November 18, 2013. There is Nothing Wrong With Being Average. I am very irked by this newfound idea that all students have to be AP students. I recently received an e-mail from a very elated superintendent sharing our success as a school because of our high enrollment in AP classes and our high AP test scores. Bravo to us! Printed on a fancy color brochure than having only 35 kids enrolled. Support for students. I wish parents, teachers, counselors would stop cramming the id...

Ms. B's Got Class: Me and Shakespeare

http://msbsgotclass.blogspot.com/2013/10/me-and-shakespeare.html

Ms B's Got Class. Tuesday, October 22, 2013. But I didn't always. I had no idea what was going on. All I knew was that Romeo was an 18 year old dude who wanted to get with a 13 year old chick. That was like a senior getting with an 8th grader. Gross. But then came college. The guy just kept coming back into my life. And she was determined to make me leave the class with at least an ounce more of appreciation for the guy. I left the class a Shakespeare believer. And now, I get to teach Shakespeare every s...
