Jokes you can tell in your class- An English teacher at Iowa State University spent a lot of time marking grammatical errors in her students' written work. She wasn't sure how much impact she was having until one overly busy day when she sat at her desk rubbing her temples. A student asked, "What's the matter, Mrs. Sheridan?" "Tense," she replied, describing her emotional state. After a slight pause the student tried again, "What was the matter? What has been the matter? What might have been the matter... ?" ------------------------------------------------------------- Want More Free Jokes & Humor?

"Newest Idea That Worked!" By: Jennifer, Primary Grade Teacher: United Kingdom From Our Bulletin Boards Area: "Please Touch" Board "When you are trying to teach young children about their senses, here is an idea for the sense of touch. Create a bulletin board with the words "Please Touch" as a title. The following are some ideas of what you can put on this board: a feather, cotton ball, sandpaper, a piece of material, ribbon, a rock. The students can add things to the bulletin board as their awareness grows. They can describe the feeling of each item on the board. A vocabulary list can be developed, describing each item. Students can write descriptive sentences using the words. Make a list of other things that feel the same as each item. Talk about similarities and differences." ------------------------------------------------------------- Click Below To Visit Our "Ideas That Worked!"
