Things I hear at middle school breakfast duty: 1) A harmonica randomly played between bites of breakfast, 2) “Teacher, Why are there so many flies?”, and 3) a student attempting to beatbox after consuming French toast! #middleschool#MondayMorning
Many important lessons you teach students have nothing to do with the subject you teach.
* words matter
* be kind
* everyone makes mistakes/ own them
* Apologize when you make a mistake
* forgiveness
* it's not all about you
* never stop learning
* have fun
what else?
Had a great experience using @Skype with my Ss to connect with classrooms from Canada, to Pennsylvania, to Arizona. Many of my Ss have never traveled far from home. The opportunity to #MysterySkype was Awesome!
I’ve decided that teaching is like working out. You’re very excited to get there. Then when you get there it’s miserable half the time. But when you leave you realize how great it was!!
I am looking for a class to partner with my middle schoolers for a #MysteryHangout or #MysterySkype on 9/13. I'm located in the Eastern time zone and have availability from 10:15-11:45 and 12:30-2:00.
