Tuesdays – Review Day – YIKES!

June 18, 2013 by tchistorygal

Today is Review Tuesday. According to my poll TV and movie reviews were much more popular with my voters than books.  Since today is the first day of my Tuesday schedule I thought I ‘d start out by showing you my page on Book Reviews because many people don’t click on pages, but some of you have commented on my organization.  I’m an organized mess – not a Hot Mess, Ralph!  Though not a professional reviewer, I was an elementary […]

Book Review:  The Elephant Whisperer by Lawrence Anthony

Book Review: The Elephant Whisperer by Lawrence Anthony

January 16, 2013 by tchistorygal

This book, The Elephant Whisperer, kept me on the edge of my seat the entire two days it took me to finish it. Considering that I was reading it on my cell phone the whole time because my Kindle needs to be emptied before I can load any more books, it’s amazing that I even stuck it out.   Out of forty-two chapters, there wasn’t a single dud.  I read it because I was intrigued when someone  wrote that when […]

Are You There Blog? It’s Me, Writer.

November 24, 2012 by tchistorygal

Kristen Lamb, author of Are You There Blog?  It’s Me, Writer., writes non-fiction in a folksy, easy to understand style.  Read like good fiction, the pages of this how-to book practically turned themselves.  Writers and bloggers can immediately apply her tips to improve their blog, Facebook and Twitter platforms. In spite of the fact Are You There Blog?  It’s me, Writer. was easy to read I found myself highlighting, taking tons of notes, and rereading to make sure I didn’t miss […]

Technology and the Common Core Assessments

September 15, 2012 by tchistorygal

Because California is such a big state, the county offices of education (COEs) play a huge part in getting information and training out to districts from the California Department of Education (CDE.)  For the past 15 years I worked at a county office of education.  Since public education is governed by the state legislature, legislators, and the State Board of Education (SBE, a board appointed by the governor) dictate policies that affect what teachers do in the classroom.  Much of […]

Common Core FAQs Relative to History-Social Studies

September 8, 2012 by tchistorygal

Today our San Joaquin Valley Council for the Social Studies had their big planning meeting.  One thing that came out of that was the need for a one page FAQ sheet for the Common Core Standards for Social Studies teachers in particular – to quell their fears of the unknown.  This is all I got done this afternoon.  See what you think of it, and tell me what else you thing should be on it.KNOWN ASSESSMENT FAQs • Common Core […]

Hi, I'm Marsha Lee. I am married, and a recently retired educator. Everyone needs to know that someone is interested in the things you do in life. I think that is what motivates me the most. I enjoy my life, and I want to share and teach others who get pleasure from those same things.
