It took me some time to realise that there is something I can use to avoid the unavoidable frustration when all the NewYearNewMe vibe is gone. It’s a simple class contract, something we all know, but somehow it is pretty underappreciated.

Wholesome Memes in Your Classroom

Who doesn't like a good meme? I sure do (something you probably know if you follow my FB on Mondays), and what is more - I collect them because they turn out to be a real help in the classroom! [memes included]
