I will be doing my mentor program at this STEM school. I'm really excited to be apart of what they do there, very cutting edge.

Nate what teacher are you working with there? My twins are both in Mrs. Kania's class. It is a great school!

My mentor is Matt MacPhail, he is a 6th grade teacher. It's so cool what they do there as I'm sure you know first hand.

Huckleberry Finn is now censored for school curriculum use

I listened on MPR's morning show when the Prof. who did this was on to discuss. I admit that I think it is not necessary to sanitize the language- while I understood the teacher who called in to say it would be nice to teach the book without addressing the "N" word, I think that addressing it is part of what the book has to teach. I'm curious if you caught any of that on MPR?

I think it is so dumb to censor Huckleberry Finn. The book is a great read and a good look at how some people thought in those days. Might help us understand our history. Teachers can explain the background for students. I read something about this in the NY Times. Thanks for the post Nathan. I think this is an important topic for us to be thinking about.

great site for free worksheets 

This is an awesome resource for arts teachers - but it also has great crossover lesson plans that integrate arts and social studies and english.

I happened on this when prepping for the mtle and was amazed at the amount of free content- really great help for middle school and highschool math students/teachers

This looks very helpful. Thanks for posting.

I love this! It'll be great for the after school Learning Academy I work at. Thank you :-)
