Games...
I understand the internet is a great place for games, I’ve already found a bunch on there, but I’m just wondering if anyone on here has any games they’ve created that are great.
Just looking to compile a list of games for the students to be used in left over time in class and just because.
So, does anyone have any games?
40 pretty cool questions- seriously, I need...

2. What’s something you hide about your personality?
3. What’s something other people think about you that you don’t agree with?

5. What’s the sweetest thing anyone’s ever done for you?
6. What’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever done for someone?
7. What’s something sweet you’d like someone to do for you?
8. Describe your favourite texture.
9. Which national or global tragedy were you closest to and how did it affect you?
10. Post a photo/draw a picture/write a poem (pick one) of a moment of personal significance.
11. Which fictional character would you most like to have lunch with and why?
12. Who would you say is your “anti” role model? Someone who serves as a warning rather than an inspiration?
13. What’s your least “politically correct” opinion?
14. What kind of underwear do you imagine Sherlock Holmes wears?
15. What’s one of the most difficult things you’ve ever had to do?
16. If you were an element on the Periodic Table, which would you be and why?
17. What’s the most infuriating thing your parents (or caregiver) do?
18. Which Disney Princess do you most identify with and why? Which is your favourite and why? And yes- ANYONE can answer this question.
19. You’re an Action Movie Hero. What’s your weapon of choice and the line you scream when defeating your arch enemy?
20. What’s the silliest fan theory you’ve ever come up with?
21. What did you think about before you fell asleep last night?
22. What’s the oddest term of endearment you’ve ever used or that someone’s used for you?
23. What motivates you in life?
24. What was something you used to enjoy, but was ruined for you? What’s the story behind that?
25. How do you think you will fare when the Zombie Apocalypse arrives?
26. Which mythological creature are you most like? Why? And if you could be any mythological creature, which would you want to be? Why?
27. Write a brief story about an actual adventure you’ve had.
28. Describe one of the most awkward experiences of your life.
29. What’s something that scares you about the future?
30. List 5 quirky things about yourself.

32. What’s the weirdest item you’ve ever mourned?
33. If you could design an amusement park ride, what would it be like?
34. Do you have any “rules” about food?
35. What’s your opinion on age differences in relationships?
36. What’s something you want to do that you’d be embarrassed to tell other people about?
37. Describe a time/event in your life that you’re nostalgic for.
38. How do you approach social situations?
39. What is your ideal bed? Why?
40. Post a short excerpt of your life.

The Daily Hour of Awkwardness
My day of teaching is 8 hours with one hour blocked in for complete awkwardness, the lunch hour. My personality is a strange combination of introverted and extroverted, and this combination shines brightly during the hour of awkwardness.
Each day the lunch bell rings at 12:30 and the students run from my classroom to their respective eating areas, some are in their classrooms, some are in a...

damndelicious:
Because I like to focus on making dinner, I usually don’t cook during lunchtime. But now I’ve found a wonderfully quick and easy lunch dish that’s super light, healthy, and filling. The only cooking part involved in this dish is the chicken breast. That’s it. Once the chicken is fully cooked…

Always the last to know
Our school year is over. Teachers are leaving.
I was halfway out of the door and saying good by to my co-workers that are leaving when they freaked and said we had a dinner tonight.
My main co-teacher looked at me exasperated when she found out we had the dinner, too, and said “seriously?”
Ok, Korea.

Something raw to chew on.
I just had the best, super energizing dinner. I needed something with LOTS of good stuff because I’m a huge slacker and need to cram my brain tonight. I opted for something raw and fresh-nutrients at their best.
I had a kale salad topped with freshly made sprouted…

Doubts
Or better known as getting restless.
In my recent posts I’ve been no stranger to mentioning we’re in a state of desk warming. I haven’t taught a class, like, really taught a class since the beginning of December and then winter camp in January. I’ve just been at my desk keeping it warm. My mind’s been occupied; my mother always said “boring people are...

What’s your earliest memory?
My earliest memory is from a horse accident I had when I was three. I briefly remember the fall but I remember parts of the drive to the hospital: being covered in sand; muffled voice, my mom and the barn manager; someone hitting the flashers on the car; and the strip of highway we were on. That’s the most...
