One minute until #WeirdEd goes Full Seuss

MarciaDressel Mar 2 @ 10:00 PM EST

The preQ is always: will I be able to #weirded chat + (other things) I need to be doing

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:00 PM EST

@MarciaDressel #WeirdEd No. If chats are PD then they should be good enough to be focused on.

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:01 PM EST

Welcome to #WeirdEd- Tonight Dr Seuss is the topic of choice to be given a voice.

#WeirdEd If you haven’t done the reading for tonight I went on about why he’s the best here https://t.co/RiSO6UgcDo

#WeirdEd Chris from Brooklyn and favorite Seuss character would have to be something from 1 Fish 2 Fish ... Wump of Gump, maybe??

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:08 PM EST

@TheWeirdTeacher Actually, was referring to him in Oobleck & yelling @ King " How about saying you're sorry & it's all your fault" #weirded

mrburkemath Mar 2 @ 10:09 PM EST

#WeirdEd "I meant what I said and I said what I meant ..." ... okay, maybe Horton could be my favorite, but that was TV more than the books

scmaestra Mar 2 @ 10:09 PM EST

Shannon here. My favorite character has to be the Onceler. Don't know why. #WeirdEd

@TheWeirdTeacher @rosy_burke we fell short of 500 hats but we tried, 387 we made but how the time flied #weirded

MsYorksClass Mar 2 @ 10:10 PM EST

@TheWeirdTeacher Right? But I brought my Lorax stuffed animal today, and my Lorax mug... does that help? 😜 Unless... ;) #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:10 PM EST

#WeirdEd Here we go into the world of Seuss, but from an education look.

rosy_burke Mar 2 @ 10:10 PM EST

@TheWeirdTeacher I, like you, typically only think of Bartholomew and his hats but I actually like his role in the Kingdom of Didd #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:10 PM EST

#WeirdEd Q1 Horton sits on the egg past any reasonable expectation bc he said he would. When do we do that?

lesliefarooq Mar 2 @ 10:10 PM EST

I am Leslie and I am the Lorax, please don't water flowers with borax. #weirded

nathan_stevens Mar 2 @ 10:11 PM EST

@scmaestra what about pop for "hop on pop" what does it say about child behavior? #WeirdEd

mrburkemath Mar 2 @ 10:11 PM EST

#WeirdEd A1 I've been known to keep teaching even when no one thinks its important anymore and to stay on someone who thinks they failed.

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:11 PM EST

@MissShuganah #WeirdEd It always takes this long to get into the chat.

@nathan_stevens True, true! Or poor dad, sad dad, tired dad...which one is that? #WeirdEd I would name it "bummer dad"

rosy_burke Mar 2 @ 10:11 PM EST

@TheWeirdTeacher @Finest1stGrade NO, I disagree! I saw that in your blog! I think best Seuss rhyming read aloud is Hop on Pop #weirded

btcostello05 Mar 2 @ 10:12 PM EST

A1 Im always finding myself overcommitting,like Horton on the Egg except I'm never sitting-so many things to do before bed, instead #weirded

scmaestra Mar 2 @ 10:12 PM EST

@MarciaDressel Ah! Yes! You are correct. #WeirdEd

doodlinmunkyboy Mar 2 @ 10:12 PM EST

A1. Let's be honest here, if you work in a school, you're always sticking in there much longer than is cool! #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Mar 2 @ 10:12 PM EST

@TheWeirdTeacher A1 sometimes we have too much faith that a kid will turn it around. #WeirdEd

mrburkemath Mar 2 @ 10:12 PM EST

@nathan_stevens @LitcoachLaurie Mike Meyers was just freaky in that makeup. In a way that Jim Carrey wasn't. #WeirdEd

wwndtd Mar 2 @ 10:12 PM EST

A1: I've mostly learned to not promise grand plans to people who don't need them. First responsibility: kids in MY class #WeirdEd

p_kopp Mar 2 @ 10:12 PM EST

A1 #WeirdEd when we go to meeting after meeting about a student and come away with no realistic plan for progress.

pchildre Mar 2 @ 10:13 PM EST

@TheWeirdTeacher A!: Teachers continue to instruct in ways that NO ONLONGER are work. They just keep kicking a dead horse #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:13 PM EST

@nathan_stevens #WeirdEd Interesting idea. Can't stay with them forever?

MissShuganah Mar 2 @ 10:13 PM EST

A1 Of course I would do that. Loyalty is a very valuable quality. #weirded

btcostello05 Mar 2 @ 10:13 PM EST

@doodlinmunkyboy yes I find that we are often there hours late and absurd, but how else do you make an elephant bird #weirded

scmaestra Mar 2 @ 10:13 PM EST

@doodlinmunkyboy Indeed. Or perhaps necessary? I hate to think I have wasted even a moment of my precious life, but..I have. Many. #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Mar 2 @ 10:13 PM EST

@TheWeirdTeacher or you can't hold their hand forever until they learn a concept #WeirdEd

doodlinmunkyboy Mar 2 @ 10:14 PM EST

A1: since you have chosen the vocation of teacher, students need you to persist & reach him or reach her #WeirdEd

tlnwilkinson Mar 2 @ 10:14 PM EST

A1. When we stick with what isn't working because someone "higher up" said it's how it should be done #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:14 PM EST

@pchildre #WeirdEd Sitting on that egg of out-dated styles?

LitcoachLaurie Mar 2 @ 10:14 PM EST

A1:could this apply to the act of teaching as a whole? I'm year 13. Really, what reasonable person would stay with this crazy gig! #WeirdEd

MsYorksClass Mar 2 @ 10:14 PM EST

A1: I get on myself for never doing enough when I'm typically doing far beyond what is needed, expected, etc. It's all perception. #WeirdEd

MrLeBrun Mar 2 @ 10:16 PM EST

@scmaestra I agree! I wasn't complaining (I think...). #WeirdEd

@shadow_uzumaki #WeirdEd Everyone's faking it. I almost never do this but that's literally Chap 29 in my first book.

A rhyming PLN ? That's a win. #weirded

A5: The idea that I've never actually done anything worthy, and that the last 11 years were a waste. I know this is untrue, but... #WeirdEd

@MrLeBrun Some of us are a lot better at "fake it until you make it" than others, but we are all doing it. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Mar 2 @ 10:57 PM EST

@mrterborg #Weirded @TheWeirdTeacher Yeah, I need to stop comparing myself to EVERYONE, that is why I fail

rosy_burke Mar 2 @ 10:57 PM EST

@korytellers I was so scared to do it though! Definitely empty pants at first but now we merely pass by and say "hi" #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Mar 2 @ 10:58 PM EST

@TheWeirdTeacher Oh crap, thats what I forgot to buy this afternoon while I was at MOA... #WeirdEd

lesliefarooq Mar 2 @ 10:58 PM EST

@ohsoearly I'm stupid and wrong at least once a day. I get over it. We all should! :) #weirded

A5 All the work I am trying to do to make my school a better place, when I am gone will there just be an about face? #weirded

mrterborg Mar 2 @ 10:58 PM EST

@oJaison Horrible, borrible, at least it's not ignorable. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:58 PM EST

@oJaison #WeirdEd Have you started blogging? Enthusiasm counts for a lot in a blog.

oJaison Mar 2 @ 10:58 PM EST

A5: Telling my students we share certain interests (music, movies, etc.). Didn't want to be a "bad influence." #WeirdEd

lesliefarooq Mar 2 @ 10:58 PM EST

@TheWeirdTeacher I feel it in my heart. That's why I typed it. #weirded

keelybshannon Mar 2 @ 10:58 PM EST

I cannot explain how much I hate pants. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:58 PM EST

@shadow_uzumaki #WeirdEd MOA? It's not in regular book stores. Amazon. https://t.co/cu2d911oeV

MsYorksClass Mar 2 @ 10:58 PM EST

@TheWeirdTeacher @shadow_uzumaki Just finished that! Can't tell you how many times I cracked up reading my mind on your pages, lol. #WeirdEd

MissShuganah Mar 2 @ 10:59 PM EST

Thanks @TheWeirdTeacher I really needed #weirded tonight. Hit the spot. I am beat.

shadow_uzumaki Mar 2 @ 10:59 PM EST

@oJaison bad influence how? Curious you quote marked it #WeirdEd

oJaison Mar 2 @ 10:59 PM EST

@TheWeirdTeacher I've written two posts! Actively thinking about new ones too. Lots of positive feedback on my Michigan blog. #WeirdEd

rosy_burke Mar 2 @ 10:59 PM EST

A5 Moving from a primary teacher to an intermediate teacher. Those pants are all the same! #weirded

keelybshannon Mar 2 @ 10:59 PM EST

I was afraid I couldn't make myself stay in the classroom for 5 years. And I couldn't. And I'm still alive and it's okay. #weirded

korytellers Mar 2 @ 10:59 PM EST

@shadow_uzumaki I know what MOA stands for! ;) @TheWeirdTeacher #WeirdEd

doodlinmunkyboy Mar 2 @ 10:59 PM EST

A5: I've found as of late that I usually say screw it, there's usually something to be learned if we simply just do it! #WeirdEd

shadow_uzumaki Mar 2 @ 10:59 PM EST

@TheWeirdTeacher #WeirdEd MOA Mall of America. And, that explains why I cant find them in B/Ns XD
