The Reading Season... →
roughdrafts1:
A Summer Reading Guide from the LA Times! There are lots of books here to peruse here. The best part is when you put your cursor over a book cover, the summary and price pop up. I think my Goodreads is about to get an influx of books to-read!
Here's a Google Doc that's open for anyone to edit

How do you manage your personal budgets?
jekoh asked: Congratulations from me AND from anyone who knows about the difficulty of teachers' job searching through me! I've been letting all my friends know "You know how hard it is to find a teaching job right now? One of the teachers I know on tumblr just got one!" So you also have "That's great!"s from people you've never even seen text from.
Just gave a bunch of my craft supplies (opened) to...
Not worth shipping, but so hard to part with!
Scholastic Dollar Deals →
monasequeda:
Scholastic has a bunch of reproducible ebooks (pdf format) for $1.00 each. They look like the paperbacks- just in pdf form. This makes sense since I just make copies and put them in a binder anyways (As opposed to always copying from the book).
Has anyone used Scholastic’s ebooks?

Nice Person's Disease
In my 2nd year of teaching, on a particularly stressful week, I completely unloaded on one of my work friends about absolutely everything that was bothering me. She listened intently and then said, ”I know what the problem is, you have the nice person’s disease. I used to have it too. You don’t know how to say no. You don’t know how to put yourself first. Sometimes...
world-shaker asked: My long list didn't really sound right, so I just want to borrow a line from you and say "Thank you for everything you do." I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with you, and I think we've done (and continue to do) some really incredible things with the other educators on Tumblr.
Also, that is why I am confident that rapture is...
