We Need to Switch Things Up
I had a crazy idea today. I would like to have an exchange program at my school. I know, it doesn’t sound crazy because exchange programs have been around for a long time. However, they’ve never been done like this (to my knowledge anyway.) I would like to have a regular day of school where…

Just Because I Used To…
I’m often reminded that I’m not a kid anymore. It’s a sad realization for me. I like the carefree attitude. I want to be able to run, play, jump, and abound with the youthful energy that I still feel running through me (most days anyway) However, I’m starting to realize that just because I used…

Bitesize Science
Here’s a great website that I liked to share with you today for Teaching Tip Tuesday. It’s called Bitesize and it’s from the BBC. They have great interactive games and activities for students. I really like the science activities but they also have some for spelling and math. There are also worksheets and other great…

Tha Alkaholiks’ autographs
I met Tha Alkaholiks when they played Hamilton’s infamous X-Club way back in 1996. It was one of the best concerts that I have ever been to. I got two of the members to autograph my cassette tape cover. This one is from Tash. And the liner notes were signed by J-Ro. I got them…

Meaning of a Name

Teaching Tip Tuesdays – Visual Schedules
I’ve decided to switch things up in the classroom for this brand new decade. I hit the ground running with these changes yesterday for the first day back to school. The students should be able to follow the daily visual schedule without any problems. I’ve been told that schedules such as these can really help…

First of the Month Project
Ivan Ives is attempting something this year that could catch on and become the new trend in how music is delivered. He launched his First of the Month project with a video and single for “All My Life” on January 1st. He will be releasing a new song again on February 1st, and continuing this…

The Not-So Futuristic Future
I don’t know why but I really didn’t think I’d still be alive at this point. Perhaps I thought I’d be a famous artist of some sort whose life had been tragically cut short. I had some dark thoughts as a teenager (but who doesn’t?) I thought I knew everything back then. I’m sure glad…

Happy New Year!
Well, another year draws to a close tonight. I wish each and everyone one of you the best in the new decade. Have a safe and happy New Year’s Eve tonight. Lots of love, Chase
