Hey there everybody,
How’s it going? After I wrote down my post for October 30th, 2024, I remembered something I really wanted to use as a positive entry! I wasn’t sure how to do this, since I’m technically not writing this on the proper day, but I decided that I’m the one that makes these rules, so here goes:

Today, I introduced my students to Drawtober 2023, where I give them a prompt every day.

January 28th, 2024

Hello there, everybody, 
This school year (2023-2024) is really difficult for me at the moment. There are so many new responsibilities that I’ve been encouraged to take on, that I’m now realizing I was never really going to be able to take on, on top of just lesson planning and teaching, but it’s also the year that we went on strike

Seeing as I’m scheduling this in the same year (2024), I am hoping that we did get some good things from the strike and that it is not going to have been for nothing? But… anyways, let’s move on to my recommendation for you today:

Brain Breaks

August 1st, 2023

Hey there everybody, 
I haven’t been active AT ALL since summer started, and while I feel bad about it, I don’t feel that bad about it, I guess? Am I a horrible blogger or what… 

Anyways, I wanted to share with you something that might be obsolete by the time I share this with you. It might be something you’ve already heard of, but I’m going to remind you that this blog is to remind me of what I found out and may forget. I have horrible memory.

Hello there,
You might be rolling your eyes at seeing the timestamp of this post, and I would definitely NOT blame you: we are yet again reporting live from AQUOPS because of course we are. I am very pleased with so many of the things I’m going to be able to share with you and, honestly, I really, really hope that you can use any of the resources here! Of course, you have my get-well wishes if you are not feeling well at the moment, and I hope you are not experiencing, as we are in Montreal right now apparently, an event of freezing rain. I really hope that in early April, it is a nice weather, especially since Easter is right around the corner (at least for us here in 2023) and Ramadan is finishing soon (again, at least for now in 2023).

Everblock Systems

March 26th, 2023

Hello there, everybody,
Hope you’re doing well!

For years now, ever since WordPress has changed the layout of their posts, it’s been bothering me and I haven’t been able to edit my posts the way that I used to, and… Classic Blocks are just… not the same. For this particular post, I wanted to try and see if I could get used to it. Let’s see how I do?

99Math

June 11th, 2023

Hi there, everyone,
How’s it going? There are only 2 days left before the exam session, and I’m so happy; I think I’m growing tired of seeing the same students, and I’m pretty sure the students are tired of seeing my face too, haha. Today’s post will be weird: it’s going to be about math rather than English, and I don’t think this will really be something that you can adapt to English, unfortunately.

I’m talking about: 99Math!

Hello everybody, 
How are you doing? I haven’t been writing much recently, and… I finally have something that might be good to know for future-me: 

Today, I started the official Preparation booklet for the end-of-the-year exam, and my students seemed very interested in the exam.

Hello there, everybody,
How are you doing? One of my students needed some help with reviewing a text that he was doing for a… Choose your own adventure story that he was making with his teammates for a class and the website they were using was… *chef’s kiss*. Without further ado, let’s go:

Positivity Journal 2023-04-20 Grammar

Thursday, April 20th, 2023

Hi there everybody,
At the risk of having my colleagues be mad at me for doing projects and not something else all year, I’m going to confess something that I’ve been feeling bad about all school year:

My older students this year (so I don’t outright out myself) have not really been doing much grammar since the beginning of the year. The positive “action” today is: it’s the first day that I am confident I did some grammar.
