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 3 /Reflections from a 5th Grader



Ireland (again)
The students in this class danced for us. They asked to say the Pledge of Allegiance, and we asked them to sing to us in Irish. It was a great Skype.  

South Africa
This skype was pretty amazing. It was a math teacher that performed one of the most amazing math trick ever. we take a four digit number, reverse the digits, subtract, and tell them all but one of the digits in the answer, and he would tell us which number we left out. A very amazing skype indeed.

Representative Smith
This was a pretty exciting skype. We got to meet a white house representative! I don't think very many people realized they were skyping part of the government. Nonetheless, I (and some others) were super excited to know someone who represents Florida in the white house. The skype, as a whole, was pretty phenomenal. The only thing is, the conversation had room for improvement.

Annie Fox "tween expert"
Walking into this skype, i was nervous. The setup was, there was a box of anonymous questions and random people would ask them. I was scared I would be called and get an embarrassing one. But, it was actually a pretty well rounded skype in the end.

Antarctica

No one could contain their excitement this time. The thought of talking to someone in the arctic is extraordinary, let alone actually doing it. We are all extremely grateful for skypeathon, because it gives us a chance to meet people like Jamie (that’s his name).
