Good morning friends. Christina checking in from Hilton Head this morning. Interested to see everyone's answers today.
counting the days - and the number of things still on the "to do" list! Chanting: perspectives and priorities
Wizard of Oz. Flying monkeys = standardized tests...we overcame...feels like a dream..over in a blink. https://t.co/X2fIZUtKSB

Wizard of Oz...upheaval (tornado) took me on a journey of self-discovery, with friends along the way...no place like home (school).
We are on the same wavelength....again.
Thursday - right now fighting with our summer reading flier, can't get view count to show
Picked the same movie, but for different reasons. ๐
Good morning Tracy from Nantucket, MA checking in today. 4 more days and a to-do list that's a lot longer!
Good morning crew! As a movie buff, I love today's question!! Can't wait to see what others post!
Where does it all go? This year zoomed by so quickly!
Good morning --often reminded of key scenes from classic 80s film "Teachers" (and bonus: examples of ) https://t.co/YIQ6OIszSX

Ferris Bueller and I was Mr Rooney chasing down truant students. New state attendance mandates and enabling parents
My year was like the movie Groundhog Day ๐
We are becoming a small but mighty group here at ! ๐๐๐
I think some sneaks in when we're not looking and squirrels it away in small chunks
Sending more positive vibes your way!

So there must have been days when you wished you were actually Ferris Bueller!!! ๐๐๐
That sounds like a great school to work at! What a fantastic description of your year.
Yes! Several but I have a great team at my school so that helped a lot.
This doesn't sum up my year, but possibly my last week: Dazed & Confused
My movie: The Truman Show. Spent a lot of time this year hacking the factory model, breaking down those little red schoolhouses
Have a great day, Friends! Staying positive despite the rainy forecast for graduation Thursday.
I've never seen this one. Putting it on my list!
I waas asked to come back early for a mtg in Aug - only if we can have it on the beach
I agree! It will be worth the wait when it gets here! Sending good karma your way!
Thanks for the positivity ! Have an amazing day!
Thanks Tracy! ๐ https://t.co/IpKvRbx41o
I agree! It will be worth the wait when it gets here! Sending good karma your way!
Great idea! I'd go to a meeting on the beach!
Wow! I've never seen that movie. Want to try to find it. The more things change, the more they stay the same
I love Hilton Head! Enjoy
Oh I like that one. Administration likes the perfect appearance but often doesn't listen to the needs for change.
Interested to hear 's response to question! Steel Magnolias: laughter thru tears is best medicine https://t.co/lNHIH8u9Yq
Good morning CST! Heading in to NYC on this 2nd day of summer. Sort of feels like school's still in... Missed regular train too ๐
School of Rock! Always a fun time with lots music ๐ค๐น
Today's questions reminds me of my blog post about my Top 5 Favourite Movie Teachers ๐ link is in the bio ๐
Monster's University ๐ experiencing Teacher's Ed and meeting all new friends ๐ฏ
Monster's University- experience First Year Teacher's Ed and meeting great new friends along the way ๐ฏ https://t.co/Iwp2qDC0b2
A League of Their Own. So many obstacles to overcome but we made it.
Great movie to teach too. Sometimes I worry we protect our students too much, like they did to Truman.
couldn't agree more with your #1. Carpe diem!
I wonder how attitudes toward teaching might change if there was a teacher movie for ever sports movie?
Good morning MST edition!
At our best, movie moments like Book Thief: discovering our own powerful words & stealing time to read.

Excited for my day of STEM bootcamp today!
Good morning ! 50 First Dates comes to mind. I repeated myself a lot but also had a bunch of do-overs and fresh starts for students.
good morning! So happy to find this chat at this time of the day! Now that I'm in summer mode, I don't see 5:30 am much.
Iโve seen that! Itโs brilliant! And the way things should be :)
Morning, Craig. Hope to cross paths w/you & others from next week in CO for
That sounds awesome! What is it?
yes job searching does suck. I wish you success in your quest. I am happy to say I found a new one!
Good one! I find a short memory, in some respects, is key ingredient keeping me coming back to classroom :) https://t.co/5dALHJiGBB

that can be very frustrating, but itโs nice when it finally โsticks.โ
. I miss all my EST peeps, but I'm in summer mode. Need to move to mountain time I guess.
The Martian. Figuring out how to exist in a new place. Plot twists that required creativity and innovation
Surprisingly accurate! No school year is ever easy.
. Yay for that!! Unfortunately, I'm only half here. Getting ready for some proff learning 2day.
Also a great choice because of the focus so many teachers put on STEM, at least from my experience.
I wonder if time machine could boost my pedagogy to new level. Or would it just start feeling like Groundhog Day?
. I love Hilton Head, but haven't been in years! Enjoy yourself!
. prayers for you in your search. Trust that it will happen!
Kudos for still learning while on vacation. Youโre a stronger person than I!
Best of luck. Finding good teaching jobs is so hard anymore. This should be a future topic.
Could go somewhere new every day! https://t.co/G4AFPiqk7z

Asked hubs what my movie would be for a year in a new job, he quickly said "Home Alone".MY movie not HIS!๐him.
Morning, ! Forrest Gump comes to mind - we kept running and running until, one day, it was over.
Imagine the things you could teach in a history class. Or we could go meet Shakespeare!
We were thinking of the same movie! I was thinking "life is a box of chocolates..." ! https://t.co/woA5ZyHhWs

Ahh I love that! That's how I feel about next year's group of kids!
Also how I feel about the summer programs that start next week.
I'd compare my class to X-men. I teach in sped & I've never viewed my Ss as having something wrong w/them. They are just different
This is a great way to see such students. They have their own talents and ways of seeing things.
Forrest Gump "Life was like a box of chocolates.You never know what youโre gonna get.' so true for my class https://t.co/jLc0G8KKpe
