Good Morning! We have no school today, but I am up!

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! Let's get Monday going!
we have a PD day so I may pass out during our PD session !! ( shh don't tell anyone )
Thanks. Should be lots of fun.
Steve from NJ. Good morning. I have created my dream job over the years. Wouldn't want to teach anything else :)
Good morning to all!! Ylonka from Dominican Republic, ready to start this week
HI Veronica! How are you?
I have had the opportunity to teach Japanese on top of my elementary load. I loved teaching it!
Good morning . Stacey from NJ. Happy Monday!
Hie Steve, that is cool !!! that is what we strive for
Good morning all it's Greg from Chattanooga!! Be Great because YOU are Great!!!
I would love to teach preservice student teachers.
middle schoolers are the coolest and their brain development is fascinating!
I am very interested in scaling the game design and development curriculum and would love to teach a section at our HS
v OK we can start the day now Ellen is here
Yes Most of CT has it off.
Yes Most of CT has it off.
good morning, how was the edcamp?
Sometimes I feel like HS is too late. I need to get to them earlier.
Good Morning Kevin, NW NJ, 7th Gr History. Inservice today w/speaker, UGH!. you should speak again, you hit HR
What is today's question?
I've been a math teacher and admin since 1999. Only other choice for me would have been music. Would love to teach HS band/choral
Good Morning ! Stephanie, checking in from, SC.
What other grade would you like to teach.
I would love to be an instructional coach with new teachers or teachers who need a little extra boost.
so very cool !!! I think everyone got something out of it, but still tired !! Thanks
yikes! Hope everyone is ok.
Good morning friends! Up and getting ready for 3rd annual PD day. Gonna be a good one!
yeah. ive always loved teaching 9th graders. Maybe middle school might work out.
HS has diff levels and coaching is diff every day. Difficult to do both. I'd pick coaching full time
Good morning all!!! Glad to be here :)
I understand, not elementry though ?
You will rock it. Good luck, my friend.
I taught H/PE for 14 yrs. I could not think of a better way to start my career (now 32 yrs later!)
We are good but it missed us by a matter of kms
Thanks. I like 6th grade- could never do HS or lower elem. https://t.co/6K3Z0bF3nP
What other grade would you like to teach.
Good morning, ! Karl 5th grade T from the Jersey shore checking in.
Missed you all last week. Was sick & needed the extra sleep.
Aw, you're too kind! I feel the same about you all:)
that's something I could believe in!!
I would teach English, its great to make connections from Lit to Real Life, but that is too similar to what I do w/history
Wow. This is a tough one. I have taught almost all elementary grades and college level.
Here you go! https://t.co/P4qc2Px3fy
Good Monday friends ! Question " If you could teach a different subject or grade level,which would you choose e & why ?
Never. i dont think i have that kind of patience.
I'm a fan of middle school as well!
me too! Coaching is the best part of my job!
you are like a band leader
I have had many student teachers, with mixed results.
I often think that I should have been an English teacher. Sometimes think I would have a bigger impact on students in that capacity
I've taught almost everything but I would like to spend more time teaching Outdoor Education
Glad you are better, Karl.
Good morning ! Eager to get back to a regular week of school!
Hope you're feeling better! https://t.co/mjiohnhK25
Good morning, ! Karl 5th grade T from the Jersey shore checking in.
Missed you all last week. Was sick & needed the extra sleep.
I also wouldn't mind taking a stab at teaching American History as opposed to American literature.
Same. Religious holidays only in the fall.
I've thought about technology or being a coach. My heart keeps telling me to stay in first.
I have taught elementary all subjects, taught Hs, Spanish, I like all classes, each group is diff some harder but great experience
Maybe I would try 2nd grade. I always hear it's the "dream" grade level. Not too young, not too old.
I have taught K-1-2- multi-disabled, 5th and 6th. But my growing passion is to be a ms/hs US history teacher.
Thanks. We had no power but I think that is a trivial thing to complain about compared to others
And of the 32 29 have ben at the MS level. I am either crazy or I have found my niche...I'll go/w the latter!
Glad you are better my friend. I have needed extra sleep lately, too.
DAN!!!! Hope you are feeling well. Congrats.
Taught it for over 16 years. A lot of management, but no testing!
I'm taking my 6th graders to Outdoor Ed in two weeks! https://t.co/TwWGJ8RHl6
I've taught almost everything but I would like to spend more time teaching Outdoor Education
It definitely takes a special person to do middle school I believe!
feel your pain, Im 1/2 Italian & will lodge protest w/principal for coming in for PD on Columbus Day
is now trending in USA, ranking 20
Both teams lost but they played hard. And I learned there is no off sides on a throw in.
That's awesome! I have wondered what older kids would be like to teach.
I'm going on an overnight camp in the bush with my Year 8s in a month. Need to get back to doing the 7 day hike
I always wanted to teach 4th grade, but never really did. Would have enjoyed weaving things through Indiana history.
I used to teach 7 - 9 English before being in Admin & I'd love to go back. Or coaching,...
For the past 7 months I've been working on my biggest project to date, this week it's happening! https://t.co/nCxd6g2fPy
teach history if I had to switch most likely be ELA, can't spell my handwriting sucks, but love reading & it mixes well with history

I love middle school, and really love the challenge of young teens. Enjoy hearing what's on their minds and guiding them.
I've had the pleasure of teaching K-16 sometimes college freshmen can be as silly as kindergarteners. Just pick a grade and go.
I also think since I have a history degree, I could do middle or high school history.
I was moved to 4th grade. Taught it for 3 years. LOVED IT. Then I was moved again. Ugh
For something different, Would like to teach elementary & try to design whole days to be centered on one interdisciplinary theme
I really believe we all have r spot, which makes all of us special!
Also, If I taught MS, i wouldn't mind trying a Science class. HS Science is too hard for me to understand.
I became certified to teach math 10 years ago, so if I taught one other subject, it would be
As a retired soccer referee, I will offer lessons on the rules !!!!
Have tons of respect for elementary teachers, I dont think I could do it
When I graduated with degrees in elementary & science, the jobs were all in science.
Did a college placement at that level. Loved it. Currently have a 4th grader. Love this agree group too! + the curriculum.
We're fine - but can only take so much down time!
Would be amazing if we were allowed...
And I think it is where I can have the biggest impact https://t.co/7saTecqFp5
I love middle school, and really love the challenge of young teens. Enjoy hearing what's on their minds and guiding them.
I agree, HS are tuff, but for me relatable.
Spring will be here before we know it:) Cheering for my brother's Cubs now.
You would love it, ! Great fun age of kids on the brink of responsibility! https://t.co/DaugnRgFxU
I like this question. I have often thought that I might like teaching at the middle school level.
what line of work haven't you done? How was ? I saw some tweets-looked good!
Always the problem. We are asked to design more among our team but aren't ever given the time to meet about it
glad to hear it went well, I can imagine being tired, been there
Hahaha....way too young for me! I admire Ts who teach lower elem
Also, in most cases, the teachers that we hire in my HS from MS have been amazing.
My other passion is . I have been studying film, film history, film analysis for years. Middle school or high school.
hope all is well after the hurricane, Ylonka.
I saw that first hand when I worked in student affairs. Thanks for that giggle of a memory:)
Love the new pic!!! https://t.co/C8bJxqLXI8
I was moved to 4th grade. Taught it for 3 years. LOVED IT. Then I was moved again. Ugh

Glad you're okay. Storms are so unpredictable....

LOL, The went so very well, lots of great sharing & learning good food too !!) missed you next ?
Have an awesome day everyone whether you're working, in-servicing, or off. It's going to be a great week!
Probably college level. Love the independence and possibilities for discussions. But you don't get the hugs!!
Also, id like to teach MS because I could probably do a lot more with my space.
everything is fine, thanks for asking. Yesterday was pretty sunny and hot like crazy
I've done both w/history. Loved ability to discuss & hear views of HS students on topics. The energy of MS keeps me young
and to you (both) https://t.co/mF8akbX9us
Have an awesome day everyone whether you're working, in-servicing, or off. It's going to be a great week!

Yeah. MSers dont seem as jaded yet.
you affect them every day trust me !!
Have a great day everyone. Make sure to find a way to !
So pleased to see our chat is still on this AM. I know some people still have school today. I don't, but I'm always up early.
I second that! Love that time of self-discovery.
On a side note does anyone know much about Arkansas. Would like to have a chat about what it's like
Well if I become an AP, Middle School might be for me.
Make it a great Monday my friends! Starting to plan my trip today!

Good Morning friends ! Question " If you could teach a different subject or grade level,which would you choose e & why ?
I taught 6-9 & 11th. I have given writing presentation to many 4th graders & love that age group https://t.co/x08KLcDoMa
GM. P.E. ,Ss are always happy to be there, it allows Ss to show their other skills, I get to wear sweats daily
. I teach computer tech/college level. I'd try 5th grade or so where teaching all subjects is normal.

Good Monday PLN ! Question " If you could teach a different subject or grade level,which would you choose e & why ?
I teach MS Ss Eng. 2 gear-shifting ideas: Head for 3rd or 12th grade to explore what literacy looks like at those milestones. 1/2
Idea 2/2: Try out visual-arts instructions for a fresh lens on literacy.
Well folks that does it for now Thanks for a great start to the day, hope to see you tomorrow https://t.co/qzlFauc99z
Nifty! What you describe echoes why I like teaching journalism: newspaper/yrbk contexts make class walls less opaque
Yes, Brian those years are pivotal ones. Ss need to decode by 3rd gr. to be successful exiting HS.
Happy Monday friends ! Question " If you could teach a different subject or grade level,which would you choose e & why ?

I have been a librarian at a school with K. Much admiration for you! More patience than I have.

Happy Monday friends ! Question " If you could teach a different subject or grade level,which would you choose e & why ?
And could lead to lucrative careers for your Ss.
Teaching any grade/subject..so many ID love to try!
