Homeworkopoly!

Wow! I have not posted in a LONG time. I just can't seem to get a routine going where blogging fits in on a regular basis. Now that school has started I am going to TRY to be better.

So, I have been back teaching in the classroom for a week and I am still working to get things just like I want them. I have always wanted to try my hand at the popular "Homeworkopoly" game that can be found here. However, it was a pdf document so I could not make any changes and I am such a control freak that I needed to be able to make it my own. So, this weekend I found myself with a few hours (yes, hours) and I made my own version for my classroom. I am going to post it here so it can be used by others (no sense reinventing the wheel).

I am posting it in a format that should allow people to make changes. You may need to change or download a font or two in order to make it look exactly like it does in the picture but that is the price to pay for being able to change the wording. I used some things that are personal to my own school (Tigers, 7 Habits, Ms. Reed) that you will want to change and now you can. Please give me some feedback and let me know if it works!

I am in the process of laminating the final project and will post a picture as soon as it is done! GOOD LUCK!

Sadness in my world...

This weekend the father of one of my former students was killed in the line of duty as a police officer. I am heartbroken by this senseless act of violence that left two beautiful girls with no father.
