a few weeks ago i received THE BEST PENCIL SHARPENER from classroom friendly supplies

i introduced it to my class right away, and after some practice using their small 7 year-old hands to hold it in place they were hooked. now no other sharpener will do! some of the second graders just like to sit and sharpen pencils in their free time now! it’s silly how much they love it! 

my second graders wrote reviews of the sharpener and you can see a few above - they told me: “we love this sharpener because our pencils get SO super sharp and they hardly ever break inside of it. and when they do it’s really easy for Sami to “unclog” the sharpener. so it’s great!” (i agree)

support this small business and make your classroom a happier place with the best sharpener. it’s really the best.

Please like or reblog so I can follow you.

Hi! 28, teacher, love my cat, sometimes post pretty pictures from beach runs or hikes. Genuinely nice person most days.

oh hey that’s me. minus the cats. I just like the cats that appear on my dash.

26. Teacher. No cats, but ferrets are close, right?

Just shy of 30 and allergic to cats. Nice most days and prefers to reblog with a side of sass thrown in~

Well over the age of 25, have 3 cats, teacher for 15 years, try to be fit, and am generally considered nice. 

Sign me up; I qualify! :)

27, no cats and pathetically out of shape, but I try to be a nice person!

me me! 28, teacher, cat lover, pretty nice most of the time i think : )

If you use the Internet every day and are under the age of 30 you should NOT go to a technology session at a teacher conference.

providence recommendations?

I’m going to be in providence, RI for a conference this week. Any recommendations for what to eat?

TGIF

Tumblr has always been about community to me.

And the removal of replies has totally destroyed that feeling.

I feel disconnected from everyone on here. There’s no conversation any more. You can reblog, sure, but that’s really just a series of isolated declarations. Replies are the best wishes, the greetings, the brief comments, that begin a connection.

I’ve made friendships through this website that I hope to have for the rest of my life. Next year I hope to be visiting more than 15 different people through the Americas that I never would have known existed without the communities on this website.

But as it is currently, forming any more friendships is functionally impossible. We’ve gone from a group of people sharing views and conversations with each other, sometimes happily, sometimes less so, but at least INTERACTING, to a crowd of people all yelling our views and opinions up in the air, unable to carry a real conversation.

TL;DR - @david’s decision to remove replies sucks, and now I feel lonely on this site.

AMEN

Yes!

Preach. RIP #education

Same.

I feel this.

100%.

well said - this messenger nonsense is a super bummer : (

Can Tumblr make it so we can reply to people’s posts again? 

Yes! Replies were admittedly way too limited and barely used. (Only a few thousand blogs a month were even receiving them.) They’re down for upgrades but will be back and much improved! Thanks for your patience. 🐬

just because some nerds didn’t get any replies doesn’t mean we, the popular kids, should be punished

bahahahaaaaaaaaa

Team No-Christmas-Until-After-Thanksgiving 2015

ALWAYS!!!!

goals:
1- finish the last report card I have to write by 8:30
2- find an easy crock pot beef stew recipe for tomorrow by 8:45
3- watch another episode of jane the virgin and be asleep before 10:00 i think i can

EDIT:
i finished at 9:06, now i will watch jane while looking at recipes and passing out. WOO. 

oh also i just realized that if we post everything as a question we can sort of reply to each other! 

right?

why do i consistently not write my report cards until the day before they are due and then stay up way too late to even write anything good?

why?

Why?

WHY?

I can’t possibly be the only person who prefers tootsie rolls warm and chewy… Right?
