My 1st year, I was teaching Ethan Frome and taught a lesson where we created different covers for the book and why. I loved it.
I never fail to laugh every day either with Ss or at myself.
Those 1st graders are lucky to have you!
It stopped when I unplugged it, but blew out the power for 4 classrooms. They still hired me back!
2005, Bees in class! Called custodians to spray. They just whacked them 2 death w/ help of eager Ss. Then we wrote a poem about it.

It's Friday FUN-day ! "Share your funniest anecdotes, jokes, and joyous moments as an educator so far."
Year 1 T, Ss wouldn't get focused, so I snapped the projector screen closed and it jumped off its mounts and swung down and hit me.
that's like Ryan on The Office w/ the cheese sandwich. Classic!!!
Good morning We've had a great start to the year & I'm happy to "see" you all!
Brought a yoga teacher/ my AP into my room to help the kids get centered before we did Existentialism. Thanks
Doing OK...final preparations over the weekend.
I do a lot of laughing at myself. Ss appreciate it. I won funniest teacher superlative award in yearbook. :)
So many great stories in the past 25 years. I'm certain we could all write a book!
Every time a former S comes back, emails me or friends me on FB, it brings me incredible joy.
OMG! Good thing you were able to stop it right way, well I'm glad you were hired back:)
see bugs love schools ! https://t.co/076iaHOGr6
2005, Bees in class! Called custodians to spray. They just whacked them 2 death w/ help of eager Ss. Then we wrote a poem about it.
I'll see your cooking accident w an exacto knife - kids were "being silly" & I stabbed myself putting on cover
I can't think of a moment,but remember many times working w/ my Ss & being reminded how out of touch I was with whatever was cool!π
*ready
(Typing before coffee this morning!)
That's awesome. I chuckled just thinking that!
Sounds like a great time. https://t.co/3eAKELkotD

Hmm...
So one day, Mr. Nesi walks into school and...
Most everyday contains a laughable moment. Might just be me but that's OK
Had student do speeches on school rules that they wanted to change. The Principal came, listened, and engaged.
1st day as AP, new building, my job, bring breakfast for Ts. No 1 told me there was an alarm system. PD&FD were waiting for the Prin
hahahahahaha the can opener wasn't working well so I pulled the top back and...
good morning Carla, it's awesome to start again with this chat
Queuing up a trailer that what was supposed to be Lord of the Rings for a PBL entry event...instead The Big Lebowski came on. Yikes!
Gotta run- dogs are hungry! Happy Friday! Enjoy the long weekend everyone!
Missing the chat! Seriously just had to put my hand against the kitchen wall, can FEEL mice running by. Ugh!
I asked one of my special needs kiddos to use large in a sentence. "You are a large teacher." Still laughing! Oh, and dieting.
Definitely, Ylonka - so glad it started back up!
Screamed at by the bus driver on my 1st field trip. Had to explain I was the teacher....Wore a tie on every trip after that.
Friday FunDay ... I am that teacher ... the one who always manages to spill his breakfast/lunch/coffee on his shirt/tie
I always especially like the one's that start "I'm sorry".
When I told my Ss I was pregnant and one said, oh I just thought you were getting fat.
It's remarkable how being silly can help:)
Last yr broadcasted my turtles to his class to inspire poetry. Some of the pieces that resulted were hilarious.
you kno it's bad when hs kids kids say, you better call the office Ms D - no stitches but a cool scar
Glad you had a great first day!
The first time I helped a teacher rewrite a lesson plan to up student engagement. That moment stays with me.
We don't get those in elementary school (maybe from parents)
I dream of doing the same. Lots to tell you. Need to blog this weekend.

Queuing up a trailer that what was supposed to be Lord of the Rings for a PBL entry event...instead The Big Lebowski came on. Yikes!

How's your year starting? Where did you land?
didn't happen 2 me: Ss stole Ts doll of college mascot, sent it Vegas with other Ts, made a photo album
When I started my job in before/after care. One day, my Ss say they thought I was 35 and a mom. I was 19 and a freshman in college
in just a few months I'll be celebrating the 2nd anniversary of my 21st birthday :-)
Looks like is going to be a lil early again for me this year. (6 AM alarm) Have any edcamp trips planned?!
VERY excited! I'm missing my TRS4T though! Can't wait to catch up with you all.
A student who missed a note about my very elderly grandma passing asking me "she's gonna be ok though, right?" 3 days after the fact
I know that's a dark humor example, but the way every other S held their breath until I told the one I wasn't mad was priceless π
last year, as a rookie on our first reverse schedule day, I called the front office during my planning asking where Ss were ππ

It's Friday FUN-day at ! "Share your funniest anecdotes, jokes, and joyous moments as an educator so far."
My funniest moments revolve around the acknowledgment that poop and farts can be VERY funny.
Exciting to see a lesson idea bc a point of reference when constructing large numbers. Keep referring to it https://t.co/6EaAVUQCXq
Most fun moment thus far: Carpool karaoke w/our Superintendent & Cabinet in our welcome back event for staff https://t.co/ep9Rqv5XBC
is cracking me up this morning!!
We took our students to camp this week, and during the group photo I told them, "On 3, say I see dead people." Gotta surprise teens!
A 1st grader once told me I was so cool... because I looked like a very tall man that got squashed down into a short one. =)
So happy about your new position! Congrats!
It's Friday FUN-day crew! "Share your funniest anecdotes, jokes, and joyous moments as an educator so far."
Hi, . Joyous moment from Thursday: Talking about how best to show learning, S jumped to board & tried geometric proof of target hit.
It's Friday FUN-day! "Share your funniest anecdotes, jokes, and joyous moments as an educator so far."
Most joyous: working with Ss outside of school serving the community, building relationships by working shoulder to shoulder
