i’m the michael phelps of teaching sixth grade

i just have to figure out why/how… 🙂

“the phantom tollbooth: annotated edition” – great, great read for the first week of school – gave me some ideas of what to do when we get to that drama in sixth grade – but a classic story – i probably heard too many book reports on it at Briarwood and thus never read it myself in third or fourth grade – today, it’d work for sixth grade as a read – i may end up getting copies for the classroom – but the annotations were well done – at times even insightful:) at times, just a history of words – but it was definitely all i could do to get through that one the first week:)
