Fresh From Mrs.Mimi's Blog - It's Not All Flowers and Sausages

  • You Put Your Whole Self In, You Put Your Whole Self Out...
    You Put Your Whole Self In and You Shake It All About until you are a frantic, crazed mess who has nothing left to give.

    That pretty much sums up teaching, doesn't it?

    I mean...I think it has already been acknowledged that teachers struggle with just sitting still and relaxing.  (So, for all of you out there who are all, "teachers have so much vacation time, how can they possible claim to be stressed out" - message.  I think it's loud and clear enough.)

    But I think another common sickness amongst us teacher folk is that we love to say yes, yes, yes and yes again until we have created a To Do List so long, so elaborate, so multi-faceted and complicated that it should really be donated to science for study.  (If you don't believe me, see my own love/hate relationship with To Do Lists here, and here).

    Friends, I have over-yessed myself.

    More specifically, I have been asked to be a part of a team of writers who are working to create a (kick ass) literacy curriculum that is aligned to the Common Core State Standards.  As teachers,...

Cross My Heart and Hope to Die

My fabulous readers,

Welcome to Mrs. Mimi Teaches!  (I feel like there should be some hot background music or something while you’re reading this.  Feel free to hum a tune of your choosing starting now.)  Thank you for coming to see me, thank you for laughing with me, and thank you for learning with me.  (That last one was cheesy, but totally true.)  I promise that this website will only feature ideas, tips and products that I have TRIED MYSELF and think TOTALLY ROCK.

Have you ever gone to another teacher website and thought, “Someone hand me a bucket.  I need to hurl”?  Yes, some of them have great ideas or great tools but none of them have great style.  None of them consider the whole teacher.  None of them have a sense of humor.   I always found that I was disappointed with their overly cartoon-ish look (Do we really need to look at dancing cartoon pencils?), and the subtle implication that teachers just want an easy way out.  I wanted something that was stylish, (No macaroni necklaces, please.) entertaining, smart and REAL.

My promise to you is simple.  I, Mrs. Mimi, promise you nothing but top quality content, easy to use tips, engaging topics, and, as always, hilarious tales of teacher-dom all presented in an easy-to-navigate, stylish website.  I also promise to never sell any of your information to other d-bags who want to fill your inboxes with junk and to only associate myself with the most secure and commendable affiliate programs out there.

I want to hear from you if you are jumping up and down with the joy of it all, or if you think I can do better.  (For real.)  You can contact me anytime at meemererdo - at - hotmail.com.  Remember, this website can be our voice and I want to make sure I do my best to represent!
