One of my favorite classes to teach is Career and Life Planning, probably because I see the importance of the class so much for the future success of my students. One of the key things that is often discussed at advisory council meetings and with members of the community and business owners, is the need… Continue reading QR Code Employability Skills Lesson

FCS Substitute Grid Activity
Several teachers have requested access to my Substitute Grid Activity that I use when I need to be gone and don't have time to prep a lesson for a substitute teacher, or the overwhelming dread of the 6:00 AM lesson planning because of sickness. I have found this is a great way to keep students… Continue reading FCS Substitute Grid Activity

Game Day Friday

Most of the their time spent communicating occurs on a phone rather than through face-to-face interaction. Because of this, I have chosen to implement a Game Day Friday for part of class.… Continue reading Game Day Friday

This is probably because my life has been consumed by one tiny little soul, and I wouldn't have it any other way. "Baby James" joined our family in December, and before that, I was… Continue reading Update!
