MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:06 PM EDT

What did I do to remain weird? Just being myself. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:06 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Q1 When you’re Chopin up your class Listz for next year, what do you look for in building new classes?

@nathan_stevens blowin' muh mind! #WeirdEd

jenfromri - Moderator May 4 @ 10:08 PM EDT

Hi #weirded! Jenny, HS science T from RI. Seniors just headed off to internships - the month has been finals, AP prep, etc. Not that weird.

mrburkemath May 4 @ 10:08 PM EDT

#WeirdEd And I caught up on 80s TV (Quantum Leap and the Hulk), then started the Where Are They Now with the guest stars

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 10:09 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1. Improve on what I've been doin. See how I can refine and expand my morn.Meets. Incorporate more S-centric..er stuff.

MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:09 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher The physics practice had a Q where a gazelle ran toward an approaching lion, so yeah. #WeirdEd

mrburkemath May 4 @ 10:10 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1, You can look ... I'm Haydn.

theMrMoulden May 4 @ 10:10 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @jenfromri my Ss would probably say I've been broken my AP prep/review the last couple weeks #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:10 PM EDT

#WeirdEd I guess Q1 is coming from an elem perspective where we build classes for the next grade up w our classes. Uppers, interpret freely

janamaiuri May 4 @ 10:10 PM EDT

A1: I want my class to be too hot to Handel. #WeirdEd

miamayer May 4 @ 10:10 PM EDT

A1: I don't really know what this means but I think of my room as my Copland and I Stravinskysize what works best #weirded #tinroofrusty

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT

#weirded A1. I also want to teach some lessons, T's willing. Esp. if Soc.Stud/Hist. focused. As well, will need to learn her Comp. She preg.

MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1 I wish that Kid O's teachers would be more imaginative. Really be up to the challenge of letting her communicate. #weirded

nathan_stevens May 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher A1 not sure. May be letting class go to move on to new class #WeirdEd

mrburkemath May 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT

#WeirdEd But really, I don't get to build my class -- I won't even know what classes i have (Might not even know the school!)

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT

#weirded ...Which means I'll need to step up to help sub during her leave

MrsAltham May 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher #WeirdEd A1: We balance based on gender, ability and personality. Don't want one class to be too much to Handel.

chrisandres003 May 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1: mostly looking for buddies for some and Chopin up the groups who've had too much time together #weirded

jenfromri - Moderator May 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Also the senior prank involved pitching tents in the great room & spraying the juniors with silly string. That was fun & weird! #weirded

keelybshannon May 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher I've done that and I still thought you meant secondary curriculum. #WeirdEd

GeoJo22 May 4 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@theMrMoulden @TheWeirdTeacher Awesome. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@chrisandres003 #WeirdEd Looking for buddies for some is a great other side perspective. We need to help some of our shy kids.

oonziela May 4 @ 10:14 PM EDT

When do your Ss know who their Ts are for next year? I don't find out my own kids' Ts until 1 week B4 school starts. #WeirdEd

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 10:14 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Hmm, did I misread the question? I probably did... XD

korytellers May 4 @ 10:14 PM EDT

chrisandres003 May 4 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher to get real for a sec. I look for kids who read comics and kids who need to read comics #WeirdEd

@EducatorSanchez That sounds pretty awesome. How many of them? #WeirdEd

oolalume May 4 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1.2: Hopefully yalls schools get the P.E., music, art etc teacher opinions. they see Ss in different light/situations #weirdEd

MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Perhaps asking a kid's parents might be useful? Invite them to participate? They might have some insights. #WeirdEd https://t.co/Ic27thGzIO

@LitcoachLaurie #WeirdEd It's good goal. I think viral is always accidental unless there's Star Wars actors behind it.

korytellers May 4 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A5 Well, I know I can handle Kindergarten. And still feel strengths are w/younger Ss, but I think I'm getting better w/3rd and 4th #WeirdEd

miamayer May 4 @ 10:46 PM EDT

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@janamaiuri #WeirdEd The second semester Slowly Climbing The Hill While Sobbing To Hamilton is rough though.

jenfromri - Moderator May 4 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A5: Probably math. Or knitting. #WeirdEd

MarciaDressel May 4 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A5 I could Handel creative writing. Can I get a partner? (I'm elem teacher-librarian) #WeirdEd

miamayer May 4 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@TeacherMan_2016 I'm used to rap battles so I had just pulled my cardboard dance mat out. *rolling it up #weirded

BSGSCSFoster May 4 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher #WeirdEd which cons?

MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A5 I really dreamt of being a professor. Didn't like the politics. Didn't like publish or perish. So I bailed after MA. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@jenfromri #WeirdEd A closet math teacher! Do you know @Veganmathbeagle? She's a black belt math teacher.

janamaiuri May 4 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher I haven't ACTUALLY laughed out loud while tweeting in a long time. Thanks for that. Awesome. #WeirdEd

chrisandres003 May 4 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A5: maybe: how to wow your friends with useless information about music, movies and professional eating #WeirdEd

nerwin_hms May 4 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A5: or outdoor education #WeirdEd

AwesomeScience May 4 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A5 if I didn't teach HS Sci I would love to go completely #weirded & be the everso slightly nutty drama teacher with costumes & funny voices

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@BSGSCSFoster #WeirdEd I'll be at ISTE and @CUERockStar Crescent City at least.

MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A5 I just wanted to teach the things I loved. Wasn't meant to be. #weirded

MarciaDressel May 4 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@LitcoachLaurie I'm not, but I could Handel that, too. Was dramaRama coach for a string of yrs. #weirded

miltonbrewer8 May 4 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A5: currently 6th grade science. Other subjects I'd teach: middle grades social studies or back to elementary #weirded

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@LitcoachLaurie #WeirdEd which aspects of drama? Acting, teaching plays, etc.?

jenfromri - Moderator May 4 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @Veganmathbeagle She sure is! I follow in admiration. #WeirdEd

GeoJo22 May 4 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @LitcoachLaurie You do! #WeirdEd

MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:48 PM EDT

Pains me to think about it. #weirded

miamayer May 4 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki @TheWeirdTeacher Do I think working in the summer is a good thing? Falsetto. #weirded

MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:49 PM EDT

A5 When I was a part-time instructor in the community colleges, I badly wanted a mentor. None came around. #weirded

artlaflamme May 4 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@miamayer @TheWeirdTeacher @shadow_uzumaki Porrrrrrrrrtland! #WeirdEd

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @janamaiuri #WeirdEd 1st time listening to Act 2... So painful.

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:49 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Here comes Q6 *insert clever music pun here*

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @miamayer what kinda cons? #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:50 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Q6 You had more than one lesson that was Baroque this year. If you could Gustav it back how would you fix it?

korytellers May 4 @ 10:50 PM EDT

MrsAltham May 4 @ 10:50 PM EDT

A5: I'd teach woodworking. I know nothing about it, but I WANT to... #WeirdEd #toteachistolearn

MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:50 PM EDT

Ironically since I didn't get a degree in Education, I couldn't teach K-12. Not sure I would have wanted to. Loved college. #weirded

korytellers May 4 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@jenfromri @TheWeirdTeacher @Veganmathbeagle She's awesome to meet in person too! @artlaflamme #ArtMightBeJealous #WeirdEd

@shadow_uzumaki @miamayer Teaching ones. Dad wants me to go to Vegas for Star Trek 50 but I have no time and money. #WeirdEd

chrisandres003 May 4 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A5: i think i would definitely do outdoor ed. I would guide Ss to be stewards of the outdoors #weirded and make them read comics

miamayer May 4 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@korytellers @nolagirlfromtx @artlaflamme But that math part though... *weeps softly #weirded

jenfromri - Moderator May 4 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher If I did, it would be my first of the night. :/ Can we do this with scientist names? #WeirdEd

GeoJo22 May 4 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A5 Poetry. I loved reading it when I was younger. Still do. #WeirdEd

EducatorSanchez May 4 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A5 I wish I could do a project runway class, giving me sewing machines & fabric-imagine all the crafts my Ss can make💃 #WeirdEd

BSGSCSFoster May 4 @ 10:51 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A6: I would Mahler it over like a bear and make it better by making it out of this world. Maybe into The Planets?

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@jenfromri #WeirdEd I officially open the door to you to write that WeirdEd and we'll run it some week.

janamaiuri May 4 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A6: OMG I'm SO sorry I showed the Giver movie this year for the first time. They begged me for it, but I should NOT have given in. #WeirdEd

jenfromri - Moderator May 4 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher Sweet! #WeirdEd

miamayer May 4 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki @TheWeirdTeacher I see. You're probably a better conductor than me. I eat ramen and read library books instead! #weirded

mrburkemath May 4 @ 10:52 PM EDT

#WeirdEd not with my budget. I'm out of Monet.

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@janamaiuri #WeirdEd It's bad, right?

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 10:53 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @miamayer #WeirdEd Ahh! Hopefully there's some in MN.Only 1 I know of is MEA, during school yr.

janamaiuri May 4 @ 10:53 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher And the thing is I KNEW it was bad. I always used to show the Truman Show as the comparison movie. WAY better. #WeirdEd

theteachingjedi May 4 @ 10:53 PM EDT

A5: I teach 8th ELA now, but feel I wouldn't mess things up too bad in a history class of sorts. But I'd stay 8th; love the grade! #WeirdEd

miamayer May 4 @ 10:53 PM EDT

@korytellers @artlaflamme @TheWeirdTeacher @shadow_uzumaki @SPAMbrand We have a 30 foot pull-a-house now so we might need a ride! #weirded

@jbryanreads Nevah again. #WeirdEd

MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:53 PM EDT

A5 Didn't realize how sad talking about teaching would make me. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@miamayer @TheWeirdTeacher Its all abt. the exp. XD #WeirdEd And my job gives me all the conflict resolution training I could ever want HA

MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:54 PM EDT

A5 People successful in #highered don't know how lucky they are. I couldn't write an academic paper to save my soul. #weirded

#WeirdEd So Q6 is not so much with the answers then? Should I move on?

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@calliembush @TheWeirdTeacher #WeirdEd Netflix. Leverage. Season 2. Episode 4.

korytellers May 4 @ 10:55 PM EDT

First time I introduced @Spheroand @WonderWorkshop Dot and Dash. Gave kids just a little TOO much freedom w/them. #AsBadAsGlitter #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:55 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Yes, let's move on bc I like the last part and we've got five minutes.

MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:55 PM EDT

A5 Oh sure I have moved on. I became a legal proofreader. Not as fulfilling as sharing your passion about a subject. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@chrisandres003 #WeirdEd Comics and outdoors in the summer/spring. Beautiful!

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:55 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Teacher Appreciation- Shout out Ts on and off twitter who deserve more love than they get

LitcoachLaurie May 4 @ 10:56 PM EDT

I have just realized I suck at puns. #WeirdEd

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@janamaiuri #WeirdEd Oh man, it was that bad? Evn w/ The Dude? Maaan...Kinda curious about it #WeirdEd

MissShuganah May 4 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A5 Paid the bills but it was a soul sucking job. Because both parents were teachers, I always wanted to be one. #weirded

janamaiuri May 4 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@theteachingjedi Watching it makes you wish you lived in a society that had done away with memory. #WeirdEd

calliembush May 4 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A6: As with just about every lesson that doesn't work out well...put more choice/power/control in hands of students. #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@LitcoachLaurie #WeirdEd To be fair this week was SUPER specific puns.

jenfromri - Moderator May 4 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher Just struggling to think of something that didn't go absolutely perfectly. #weirded https://t.co/4OMVEIc4bM

@TheWeirdTeacher It's all for you, Maestro. #weirded

janamaiuri May 4 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki It. Is. Terrible. Like, kill-the-book-for-you terrible. #weirded.

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator May 4 @ 10:57 PM EDT

A6: Short story unit tanked. Stories good; work we did, bad. More student choice, more student discussion, less teacher flubbin'. #WeirdEd

EducatorSanchez May 4 @ 10:58 PM EDT

A6 I wish I created my elapse time videos of lessons, so we can have a crescendo at the end, next yr. a student director job #WeirdEd

nerwin_hms May 4 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @LitcoachLaurie truth. I’m usually decent with them. I fall flat with composer puns #WeirdEd

mrburkemath May 4 @ 10:58 PM EDT

I remember that time the University of Minnesota orchestra wasn't ready to play but they decided to Gopher Baroque! @korytellers #WeirdEd

chrisandres003 May 4 @ 10:58 PM EDT

A6: i would do more with Kazoos. there is not enough music in my classroom. Kids need mingus, jazz new wave, blues, bluegrass... #weirded

Only reason I participate in ed discussions is on account of Kid O and Kid Q. I will always miss teaching. #weirded

@theteachingjedi Teacher flubbin' is important. We model for them & learning from our fails shows them how to do it for their own. #weirded
