I grew up playing those games … we played the card games Rook and Spades … kids these days play Uno. So many digital options but playing board games is like reading an actual book … there is something different when you hold it in your hand. #bfc530

Random question for the #bfc530 chat …

Do people play board games or cards any more?

I remember growing up it seemed like everyone played games. Were physical games replaced by digital games? Are they better?

Whaat are your thoughts?

Those positive communications home go far … I like to take pictures of the kids doing work in class and texting it to parents… especially if it is project based. Parents like getting messages about their kids actually enjoying school. But, like you, it is hard to fit in . #bfc530

Something I wish I did, but didn’t … History Fair with the students … we started it but then got hit with a couple
If hurricanes and missed school so it got lost in the missed school days. I love doing that project with the kids. #bfc530

Happy Wednesday

Time for the #bfc530 slow chat.

With the end of the school year here (or near) let’s talk “regret” … what is something you wish you could have done but didn’t?

OMG … yes … a crazy narrative created by people hell bent on making schools look inept #bfc530

One thing that bothers me is when people use the phrase “do it for the students” as a tool of manipulation … usually when they are adding something else to our teaching plate.

I want to read more but my extreme ADHA hinders my reading of books … hard to hold my interest long enough … I read articles (news/research) … five minutes is about my reading time limit. #bfc530
