Only teachers I don't like are those with lousy expectations. Making thing too easy for students instead of challenge them everyday.
OOHHH I dont have low expectations for my students...

These are their vocabulary words for next week...

disguise
hollow
moss
crater
owling
threading
swoops
pumping
and 10 or so more...I give them 20 vocabualry words for them to identify each week.

For math, they will have to learn how to subtract using mental math..

like 57-28...instead of 57
-28,

they have to say in iether ASL or writing..."change 28 to 30"

"57 subtract 30 is 27
27 add 2 cuz we added 2 to make 28 into 30
so 27+2 is 29 therefore the answer is
57-28 equals 29."

I expect them to explain that using ASL or in writing. Those are 8 year olds that I am teaching. I have high expectations.
