Almost halfway through my #teacher Summer. Have been trying to enjoy a lazy Summer … how about all my #eduxators … how’s your Summer going? #bfc530 #edusky #edchat

Let’s do a #bfc530 Summer Break (at least here in the USA) check … what’s going on with everyone?

Hey #bfc530 … sorry I have been detached this week … been hitting that education Summer detox… how is everyone doing?

I played Farkle growing up … I forgot about that. #bfc530

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?

Happy Thursday

This is my last day of
School with the kids … when is everyone else done?

What should #bfc530 look like over the Summer?

#bfc530

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.

#bfc530

The school year is winding down … let’s chat about annoying things people/admin say about school/teachers/education.

What statements really gets your blood boiling?

I was lucky …

Got the wordle in 3 today …

This is the first school I have ever had access to my room after normal
Operating hours … may take advantage of it this year. #bfc530

Yikes … big parade weekend and a bit warm. I am sure the kids love performing. #bfc530

Memorial Day Weekend plans … prepping for the end of the school year … may go into my classroom and start pulling furniture out so I don’t have to do it in an evening … kids may be sitting on the floor for a bit #bfc530

It is Friday … the end of the week … heading into a long weekend.

What do you have planned for Memorial Day Weekend?

What kind of fun stuff do I have on my phone for entertainment?

I have the NYT word game app … the Wordle … Crossword Puzzle … items that “entertains” me throughout the day .

What I have I learned recently … the actual meaning of the word “holocaust” from the Greek and now I can’t unlearn it. #bfc530

Mid week has arrived and we are here with another #bfc530 chat.

What is the most interesting thing you have learned recently?

Sometimes you have to make time for yourself. #bfc530

I got bored during Andor season 2 and haven’t finished it #bfc530

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

What an I enjoying in my leisure time … currently watching Da Vinci’s Demons on Prime … I enjoy watching historical fiction … feeds my love of history while entertaining me. #bfc530

Hello Tuesday

I know people are busy with the end of the school year …

What are you enjoying in your leisure time … reading? … watching?

This is my first year at this school so I am not familiar with their end of year awards and “fun” activities #bfc530
