Alexa in the Classroom: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Every teacher wants to have a 21st Century, tech friendly classroom. And what could be more tech friendly and 21st century than inviting Alexa into your classroom? That’s the epitome of techie-ness, right? Imagine asking a question and a disembodied voice automatically answering you. Cool (and slightly disconcerting).

Censoring Our Thoughts: Banned Books

Make no mistake about it – we are at war.  Only these battles are taking place in classrooms, school board meetings, libraries, and educational institutions around the world.  This war will determine whether we have the right to decide what we are allowed to read, what we are allowed to think, and what knowledge we […]

Teachers’ Pet Peeves

The older I get, the more it seems as if the little sayings and phrases I heard growing up are falling by the wayside. Every so often my students remind me of this in a truly spectacular way. A perfect example occurred when I introduced an expository essay topic that was going to be the […]

#MentorMonday We’ve all had THISE conferences; #MentorMonday

We’ve all had THISE conferences; the ones that you dread having but know that it has to be done. If you’ve been teaching for longer than 15 minutes, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

During one such conference, a certain teacher (who will remain nameless - Literary Sherri 😂) was seriously discussing the student’s lack of effort and attitude in class. At one point, she leaned forward to emphasize her point, and her chair 🪑shot out from underneath her.

After a couple of awkward seconds, 🤦‍♀️ the father of the student walked around the desk and helped her back into her chair.

She continued on with the conference 🤷‍♀️ as if nothing had happened.

Moral of the story - 👍🏻 Always remain calm - even when you fall out of your chair.

Anyone else out there have a “fall out of your chair” moment to share?

This was a hard prompt to write, mainly because I This was a hard prompt to write, mainly because I cry like a baby whenever I read this book. 📓📝
It did give me one of the coolest moments of my teaching career, though. I was reading the book aloud (because I believe in reading aloud no matter what age) and got choked up. Okay, I admit it. I was crying like a baby. 😭😭😭
I told the kids to give me a second and as I sat there trying to pull myself together, I heard a voice continue reading where I had stopped. When that voice quit reading another took over. 📚
I was still crying, but now it was for an entirely different reason. I’ll always treasure that memory and hope this resource can help you make some memories of your own. 
Check it out; I think you’ll like it.
