Welcome to My Blog!

Being a teacher is full of ups, downs, and in betweens. I love the look on a students face when they learn how to read. I love when students can solve problems on their own. I absolutely love when students feel proud of their work, and want to share it with the class. This blog is going to be full of moments in the classroom, pictures, and sometimes videos. Take everything with a grain of salt, as it is my opinion & reflections.

Skype Day 2/Reflections from a 5th Grader



Pizza Chef
The third Skype of the second day, we're going in two feet at a time at this point. Like yesterday, everyone is excited for the most hyped Skype of the day. (it seems liked the most hyped skypes are at 9:30... *cough* *cough* swampy marsh)

Evaluation time! No wonder the skype was the most hyped! The chef made different styles of pizza and pasta, he was amazingly fluent with his movement and speech(except for when the cam froze, and we had to call back). His accent was so authentic, and everyone's faces lit up with amazement when he started creating his pie. In the end, the skype was definitely deserving of the most anticipated award.

UTC FWC (Mr. Bill)
This skype seemed at first like a less exciting one, but, it was actually a very fun skype. Mr. Bill (I just realized he's a financial helper, and his name is mr. BILL. Get it? Bill, as in, dollar bill. Coincidences are cool) spoke to us about financial aid, and even had a... not really lecture, that would imply it was boring... a... Yes, a presentation. That's what i was looking for. overall, the skype was very well executed and ended on a good note.

Ireland
The skype this time was very smooth, the conversation was direct, and the questions were smooth (until someone *cough* *cough* me, asked if they eat blood sausage/pudding).
The skype in the end was well executed, and enjoyable.

NFL Pro (Mike Gruttadouria)
This skype, for some reason, didn't seem like it would be as exciting as it was (considering we met a pro f-ball player). But in the end, it was actually pretty exciting. In the end, I think this skype takes the cake for the 3rd coolest skype today so far.

Lisa & Mike Cohen
This skype was AWESOME. You've heard of child authors, you've heard of authors who write for children, but this dynamic duo is a mother and her young son who... get this... WRITE BOOKS together. This was a very touching skype. they wrote two books and a cd for their dog who died from cancer, and that's how they got started on writing books. The skype was amazing, and now takes 3rd place in the epic skype counter.

Yellowstone National Park Ranger
This skype was very refreshing. After all the emotional and inspiring skypes, it was nice to listen to one that was more... down to earth. I actually wrote most of the questions this round, and, not to toot my own horn, but, they were pretty good questions (#humblebrag). She showed us landscapes from the park, and it was humbling to see how beautiful the park is.

Dakota Shipp Tricks in the Rodeo

This was the last skype of the second day. Boy, what a great way to end the day (hey that rhymed).
