Morning my friend. How was the week?
I have been doing observations since week 1. I go in several times during a month for 20-30 min to get a full picture
Good morning ! Stacey from NJ. Still excited about the momentum gained in our planning session last night.
Morning I can't believe it's been a whole week since I left like my class, my team there focused on- My Shot
Good Morning ! Happy Friday. Glad to join you again.
I know right? Short weeks are like that I find!
Setting up for shearing so should be a relaxing weekend before a crazy one next week.
Theme song? Tough one....classes are so different.
It was GREAT! How was yours?
Each class would need its own weekly theme song. Morning double block might be a testosteroney country song. Unfortunately for me.
"Humble and kind" is what we aim for , right?
Hang in there! Sending prayers your way.
I don't really like High School Musical, but our would be "We're All in this Together."
I am getting pretty pumped for https://t.co/uCy1Gp5j3M
Good morning ! Stacey from NJ. Still excited about the momentum gained in our planning session last night.
I'm gonna go with Fighter by Christina Aguilera - I'm feeling plucky this morning
short weeks always seem long, don't they? Next week is our conference week. That's a tough one.
Today, I'd say it's "Do The Hustle"...
All short weeks are long. It's five school days compacted into four!!
I teach 7th, so my class theme song would be "I Will Survive" 😳
I actually have a class song. Had a friend who had an Industrial band in the 90's mix something together
For World Lit, We Are the World. We represent so many cultures. Helps with POV in lit.
spit out my coffee on this one! https://t.co/DCwN31fsp9
I teach 7th, so my class theme song would be "I Will Survive" 😳
I play Pink Floyd - Wish you were here to get class to relax
My year has been like nothing I have known. Ss I have worked with for years are presenting like puzzles.
Same here- my double time block classes are rough https://t.co/tbjaO33IkK

Google Innovator Academy in Toronto
good morning, Susan! I like that choice. How are you?
I was a little old for this show but damn it was cute!
Same here! I see you have a role!!! Yay!!
We farewell our Year 12s on Tuesday as they finish classes before their last exams that start the next week

Good morning Brian! What's shakin?
I am so sad I will miss it! will be great - I still wish I could be in 2 places at once
Here's one... "I Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas
You know I can't say no to helping out- or to being given a microphone
"Everything is Awesome" from the LEGO movie!
The three years I taught 7th that was my song too! https://t.co/3lxmbE0ZyR
I teach 7th, so my class theme song would be "I Will Survive" 😳
An oldie, Split Enz "One Step Ahead of You" & sometimes that isn't always true with my students https://t.co/CSN7TkQxcV
I don't have a class, but after 32 yrs MY theme song is Paul Simon, "Still Crazy After All These Years" Fitting for a MS principal
Here's another favourite... "Lean on Me" by Rockapella
It can be hard with the littles. So many songs have hell or damn in them. I don't like using.
For me it has to be "It's a Beautiful Morning" by the Rascals it's always morning in my world !!
Good morning all! A.J. from Central NJ.
I'm going to go with Dreams- Van Halen
I feel like I'm living a nightmare every single day, and I can't wake up https://t.co/uCcK5EcHw0
My year has been like nothing I have known. Ss I have worked with for years are presenting like puzzles.
maybe the Marine Corp song to inspire your resiliency?
You could skip and could skip her thing and then I'd get to meet you both in one day!!
This a tough one. I'll be thinking about this all day. 🤔
fitting !!! https://t.co/1Mrv9sb4ML
I don't have a class, but after 32 yrs MY theme song is Paul Simon, "Still Crazy After All These Years" Fitting for a MS principal
I believe I can fly is a good one
My afternoon double block needs something to wake them up. I have to scrape them off the floor. What song for that?
One last song that can often support us... "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson
that is rough. Tough Ss, Ps, or schedule? Combination of the 3?
I see every class, and they're all different. I don't have a clue. I would need to have a playlist. https://t.co/JSC8PL3ko7
Its a mix of Eye of the Tiger & a Song called Jet Set w/quotes from Miracle & Hoosiers also w/some extra sounds added
Welcome AJ! Glad u r here!
Fast and furious! I'm loving every minute! How about yours?
Also "Stand" by Sly & the Family Stone
GM . Yes it was a grt meeting. Excited about new stuff we are planning for .
Crying every day is a strong indicator that something's got to give, don't ya think? 😢
Theme song is tough! Perhaps "Beginnings" by Chicago circa 1970.
I love the chorus of Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger". Our PE dept has played this while Ss work out. https://t.co/q3agVc1SWP
Not bad. CO meetings and the usual MS craziness!
the same!! I love being back in 5th (except for the DRAMA)! Can't believe we are in 2nd Q already!
I think I will ask my Ss to choose & write about their own theme song. Not today though, today those critters have a quiz to take.
yes indeed ! sitting here "mugged up !"
Great! Otherwise it's a dog and pony show! . No one has "those" lessons running every day. 😳 https://t.co/r5Ku1Su8Ui
I have been doing observations since week 1. I go in several times during a month for 20-30 min to get a full picture
I need one to pull my down from the ceiling 😳 https://t.co/nyCJwEdT7e
My afternoon double block needs something to wake them up. I have to scrape them off the floor. What song for that?
I try to begin every class w/song related to unit. Yesterday every class opened w/different Bob Dylan song in honor of Nobel Prize
Are ya now?! I think I will need to find my way to that session!
it isn't fair to the Ts not to highlight all the daily interactions that are so positive
Yes! I made a Lego themed display thing out in the hallway and used these lyrics. Always silly and positive! https://t.co/nBMbQ6WCdy
"Everything is Awesome" from the LEGO movie!
ah yes in History class The times they are a changin !!
if we could figure out a way to relocate Rochester to Jersey, I could just bounce back and forth
yes and the hormones! Whew. Don't get me started! Lol!
So I won't get to meet you either!?!? 😩
A S always sang Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING in our RC class/became class theme song & brought tears to my eyes when they sang it.
My schedule is rough with math from 2:45-3:45 so I'm trying to figure out some high engagements act.Tough for us all!
The short weeks are always the longest!
there is a great google form spreadsheet of history topic related songs. DM your e mail & I can share it with you
that's cool, Kevin. Way to bring relevance into the class.
It will be a wild ride but worth it!! They are blessed to have you!
Awesome, creative, innovative musician leader!
My theme song is written& performed by a former student. "This is the New Year" by Ian Axel: https://t.co/rhnbx2LNZP
Yes. How can we support you here? Crying everyday isn't ok. https://t.co/5pliaVyFiu
Crying every day is a strong indicator that something's got to give, don't ya think? 😢
I hope you are getting support from within, Christina. . We need to find you your "happy place". https://t.co/9VcZBuC5tT
Loving the Silent Light app! Students are regulating their own noise level and I'm no longer the old nag! Yahoo
I love that chorus as well. Has helped remind me that I can get through the potholes in the road of life.
Thanks for the inspiration this morning! May need to make a play list and call it " tunes". Have a great weekend everyone!
I am sorry to hear this! Wishing you both strength and guidance.
Always here for you, Christina! Sorry it has been so challenging!
maybe we should do a simultaneous virtual session that day!
Hey Thanks Eric! resources https://t.co/VpQvkMDpZ5
there is a great google form spreadsheet of history topic related songs. DM your e mail & I can share it with you
Yes, I'm worried about my own health, piece of mind.
Not all the lyrics fit, but I like The Rising by Springsteen for a theme song.
That's a good one too! Lol
I've been searching song lyrics to find the song I need... "Noise" by Kenny Chesney (country, I know), is pretty close.
DON'T STOP BELIEVING, i can see why tears would fall...
mine is the Survivor show theme song!
we need a " wake up and smell the bfc530" song!
Is there any explanation or help from admin?
I saved a YouTube playlist of inspirational songs and like to play it before school. My 5th graders love that.
Glad you are doing it, Brian. I was thinking of bringing mine. Less to carry. :)
Have a great day and weekend! Thanks for the spark this morning
Teach 7th gr, don't think most know Dylan & his influence, so I took some time to discuss it w/them. Its history
Great Friday: 2nd day of , fall break, so I don't have to miss school & spending time w my peeps! https://t.co/QFqEgY9GRo
OOOH , do you mind sharing? Or can I friend you?
Have a fantastic weekend everyone! Listen to some music!
At our next PLC I'm going to ask T's this morning's question and give them time to search the Web. Insight for them.
That's great! Would you be willing to share the titles with us? I know I could use it! https://t.co/0vgUwt0suj
I saved a YouTube playlist of inspirational songs and like to play it before school. My 5th graders love that.
"Black Coffee in Bed" by squeeze !!

Crying every day is a strong indicator that something's got to give, don't ya think? 😢
There will be now. I will make sure you're in a double.
Definitely will ask Tech Writing Ss what they'd pick. Have a great weekend, Friends.
I've had a few falls like that. Hopefully it will get better. They will realize how awesome you are!
Hi Dawn,,, bring your best today (like every day)!
Hooray, Kelley!!! Yes you made it to Friday
Have a wonderful weekend friends! RECHARGE! 😊😊😊
Happy Friday . Keep singing and making music!
Nice ending! Have a great weekend!
So unbelievably beautiful, right?!
isn't it?! I dare anyone not to be inspired to change the world after listening to it! PS: He was a quiet one in class!
oh boy! I bet that's on constant play!
They mostly just knew the chorus. :) It was awesome to hear, especially b/c it was a resource center. Powerful.
Now listening to some of the songs suggested. Thanks for a great start to the end of the week Im out!
Off to host my colleagues - still debating todays topic: or fact-checking resources. Have a great weekend
Alternate Routes: Nothing More. Beautiful message!
nice let us know how it goes !!
awesome, thanks!! I haven't had the time to search and add any more songs in a while, so I appreciate the suggestion!
Have a great Friday, everyone! Lots of good song suggestions for the day!

Thank you Eric, my friend!
Exactly how I'm feeling. You've captured it. https://t.co/9WrQh7Wf1i
It's so hard to be thrown off your game-when you know you could be doing so much more, now you're reduced to survival mode.
yea for a minute I thought I still had my mullett !!!
like the seasons and heartburn, I'm sure we'll also see mullets make a comeback!
I'm always singing that !!!
Good job friends we made it to Friday ! Today we ask; " What song is the Theme Song for your class ? https://t.co/PgYPVy5o2l
Hmmm....Right now I'd say "Don't Stop Thinking about Tomorrow" by Fleetwood Mac. Still early in the year though, could change.
Anyone know a Chrome extension that will separate the lines of text on a website for a visually challenged student?
I think it's sends such a positive message to our kids!
going well, Susan! Still feeling a tad overwhelmed learning all the new stuff, but feeling positive abt my move! You??

Polling says support from dems was -3%, now -17%. GOP, was -47% now +9%. Total population now +7%, was -19%
Ss currently giving a presentation and reading from slides, how do I stop this aside from removing slides altogether? Help!
And probably Harry Chapin 'Flowers are Red' (Hopefully I'm the T at the end of the song!) See: https://t.co/KmYDRdvbZ1
Hi, . Class song? This week, seems appropriate to reach for "Forever Young" by Nobel Prize winner for lit. https://t.co/kI4WwCa6cp
Thinking of removing text from slides so Ss can't read from slides...? Trying to improve Ss presentations to class
yes sad year losing Glenn !
is now trending in USA, ranking 33
Music certainly poorer! Henley&Fry amazing writing combination+their collaboration with J.D.Souther & Jackson Browne

Trump is incorrect to say that US media is not covering . But often "light" revelations are selected instead of the serious.
Have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend everyone!
No, I must find it and gave a read. I know most of those connect to The Eagles though! Thanks for the heads up!
