Tell Me More About TESL

January 7th, 2025 HAPPY NEW YEAR, everybody, It’s been quite a while since I wrote anything here, and I’m a bit stressed that I don’t see much of anything on my scheduled posts list. I’ve been quite busy, and I’m looking forward to… maybe the summer(?) to replenish my scheduled posts list? Hopefully. I managed to survive the first day of the students being back from the winter break! Continue…

Tuesday, December 17th, 2024 Hey there, everybody, How’s it going? It’s Xmas soon, which means… already… almost half of the semester (étape 2) is over, and I’ve been stressing myself out trying to finish my corrections. Here’s today’s journal entry: I actually managed to finish all the corrections today, right before the Xmas break.  Continue reading Positivity Journal 2024-12-17

Wednesday, January 8th, 2025 Hello there everybody, I hope this post finds you all well and not completely depressed about how it’s the end of the first half of the year (before winter break) and almost halfway into the second semester (Étape 2). Hang in there, a few more days to go! Yep, the time-stamp is not wrong, I am writing this from January 8th of the next “calendar year,” rather than on…

September 20th, 2024 Hello there, everybody. How are you? I’ve been meaning to write more and more here, but I feel like… am I being petty? And then, I was talking to some coworkers, and I realized that maybe I should keep going, since I seem to keep… bringing myself down about a few things… so…. here it is, for Future-Me: Today, at the end of class, a student stayed and told me: “At the…

Originally – November 6th, 2022 May 28th, 2025 Wow everyone, can you picture that? I have so many drafts that I’ve had to go back right now (May 28th, 2025) in order to complete them and schedule them properly. I am so late in these that I have… 55 posts waiting to be written. …but I have so, so, so little time left in order to complete them… I just… come by here, write down the website that I…

May 18th, 2023 Hello there, everybody! How’s it going? Here’s something I wanted to share: A student woke up today and was excited to come to school only for two classes: English and Ethics/Religions. Continue reading Positivity Journal (05-18-2023)

February 1st, 2024, Hey there, everyody! How’s it going? “PV, it’s 2025 and you’re still posting these kinds of anecdotes? Are you not tired of this?” Actually, even though it’s happened less and less that I cry before going back to school on Sundays, I actually started that routine again right after coming back from the Winter Break. It’s horrendous how old (BAD) habits are very difficult to…

Monday, October 30th, 2023 Hey there everybody, I trust everybody is doing well! Ever since the school year started, I’ve been meaning to get SOME positivy journal entries going, but I somehow never got the time to? And now that I’m very close to the end of the first semester – when I have tons of things to do, here I am, sitting down and trying to write something. Today, even though I felt…

Monday, October 30th, 2023 Hey there everybody, This is my last post of the day, I promise (hopefully!). I wanted to give an update on the Drawtober idea: Today, I realized that students come in and they are expecting a drawtober prompt on the board. Continue reading Positivity Journal 2023-10-25

Monday, October 30th, 2023 Hey there everybody, How’s it going? After I wrote down my post for October 30th, 2024, I remembered something I really wanted to use as a positive entry! I wasn’t sure how to do this, since I’m technically not writing this on the proper day, but I decided that I’m the one that makes these rules, so here goes: Today, I introduced my students to Drawtober 2023, where I…

April 4th, 2023 Hello everybody, How’s it goin’? It’s me again, from AQUOPS. There are truly, truly so many new things that I don’t know about, it’s really amazing and I’m so happy because I can share with you all. Continue reading Professional Portfolio(?): Sommet du Numérique

January 28th, 2024 Hello there, everybody, This school year (2023-2024) is really difficult for me at the moment. There are so many new responsibilities that I’ve been encouraged to take on, that I’m now realizing I was never really going to be able to take on, on top of just lesson planning and teaching, but it’s also the year that we went on strike.  Seeing as I’m scheduling this in the same…

August 1st, 2023 Hey there everybody, I haven’t been active AT ALL since summer started, and while I feel bad about it, I don’t feel that bad about it, I guess? Am I a horrible blogger or what…  Anyways, I wanted to share with you something that might be obsolete by the time I share this with you. It might be something you’ve already heard of, but I’m going to remind you that this blog is to…

April 5th, 2023 URL Hello there, You might be rolling your eyes at seeing the timestamp of this post, and I would definitely NOT blame you: we are yet again reporting live from AQUOPS because of course we are. I am very pleased with so many of the things I’m going to be able to share with you and, honestly, I really, really hope that you can use any of the resources here! Of course, you have my…

March 26th, 2023 Hello there, everybody, Hope you’re doing well! For years now, ever since WordPress has changed the layout of their posts, it’s been bothering me and I haven’t been able to edit my posts the way that I used to, and… Classic Blocks are just… not the same. For this particular post, I wanted to try and see if I could get used to it. Let’s see how I do? Continue reading Everblock…
