Trading Places was a great experience! It was fun being with some of the same little faces I had as 1st Graders. Definitely out of my comfort zone attempting to teach a 3rd Grade Math lesson. I think I got more out of the lesson, arrays...what!?!

Mrs. Barratt has a great class and I enjoyed getting to know them.  I especially liked the directed drawing activity that we did together.  The first graders also impressed me with their writing skills and ideas about Groundhog Day. I respect teachers of the little guys.  I think the younger the grade--the harder it gets.  The content might be harder in higher grades but trying to get kids to understand gets harder as the kids get younger.  The teachers who lay the foundation have a big responsibility.   It was fun spending time with the little ones and changing up the routine today.  But I have to say that I missed my kids. I appreciate them more after having been away from them.

Great job trading places today.  I admire your bravery.  I hope to talk to some students to see what they thought about it, too.  I bet they loved it!

I was very impressed with the second graders today.  If I wanted to do things a little differently they had no trouble with it.  I also enjoyed having only 16 students most of the day.  I kept thinking I was missing a few!  I was glad to be back with my older kids in the afternoon.  I've stayed with 4th grade for 27 years for a reason!

I had a great time in 2nd grade! I love the way Mrs. Van Wagner uses stations! I have some new ideas to try in my own room for math. If you haven't had a chance to check out ZEARN, you should! It's a great free resource for math!

I am tired- more than normal!! I have a new appreciation for our 4th grade teachers.  They teach a lot of content!  I would definitely have to do some relearning if I was to move up there!  I would much rather stay with my littles though!!!

I enjoyed being in Mrs. Redshaw's class today.  I wasn't far from home and really happy I didn't have to get out of my comfort zone too much like others! LOL  Thanks for sharing your little ones with me, Megan! :) I got a nice "take away" from your center time.  It was nice to get to know other staff in the building we normally don't get a chance to visit with.  Great experience for the teachers and the kids.

I'm exhausted! LOL. I had a fun day! I came away with a greater appreciation for subs AND for lower elementary teachers. K-1 you rock! Even though I taught 1st for a year, I forgot how tiring it can be.  I had a great day though and enjoyed getting to know Mrs. Lannon's littles.  I love how we each have our own routines and way of doing things but they all work for each of us and most importantly for the kids.  Great experience!

I had the best time in 3rd grade!! Thank you Melisa for leaving great plans. It's so hard to move on...I taught the reading lesson WAY better the second time and I just wanted to go back to that first group. It's probably a good thing I'm not in 3rd grade because it's difficult knowing I could have taught that lesson better but need to move on.

I had a lot of fun in first grade today! Mrs. Mittag's class knew all of their classroom procedures and routines, which definitely made being in a new room easier. The hardest part for me was not knowing any of the kids' names. It was a fun experience, but I can say I was glad to be back in my own room after 2:00. Thanks for letting me be in your room Angie. Your kids are great!

I had so much fun getting to be Mrs. Burr and Mrs. Mosby! It definitely got me out of my comfort zone by having to talk on the microphone and over the intercom. I loved trading places!

I loved listening to the teachers during lunch in the teacher's lounge today. We usually eat with our grade level or department. Today, teachers were crossing those normal boundaries and having conversations which included lots of laughter with different departments and grade levels.  What a great way to fellowship and get to know the teachers that we don't normally see during the day.
It sounded like the consensus was that everyone was very happy teaching their regular grade level, but what a fun way to socialize!

I made it to 3rd grade!  I survived and learned some new things!!!!!  Mrs Neider had great lesson plans!  Her class rocks!  I really missed my 1st grade...but was happy to meet new kids today!

Kindergarten teachers are Amazing! I had a really good day and will sleep really well tonight

Although, I stayed in the same grade this was a great opportunity. I love seeing how things are done in other classes.  I love seeing the set up of the rooms and the different learning styles. I also, thought it was good to be in the place of a substitute. I found myself going over the time I was supposed to use for math.  I am so trained in my own class, I know when to switch.  I loved this experience but I am exhausted!

I TAUGHT KINDERGARTEN TODAY AND DIDN'T DIE!  It was a great experience and Elizabeth had everything perfectly organized to make my transition easy! Thanks Mrs. Branscum for a great class to trade with!

Had a fun day in First Grade. Got all of my reading groups done! I only had one student crying at the end and she was my own so that doesn't really count does it? (I told her her AR score should have been a 100%-hence why I would NEVER have my own kids in class). I really had no clue how used to my schedule and team I have grown accustomed. I really missed them!  Mrs. Reece has taught her kids routines and procedures so that made my job easy!  Great fun day but always glad to be back in my room.
On a side note: My class feels like Mr. Phillips needs to learn a little expression when it comes to read alouds- feel free to come down anytime and practice! (In his defense it is a hard book!)

I loved spending the day in InsSquared! I love those kids! I was a little rusty in my fourth grade math skills, but thankfully there were three of us to get the job done. Laura and Renee, you have a great class!

I had a lot of fun teaching Heather's class today! However, I am glad to be back with my kids! :)

This was super FUN!!! I have really enjoyed trading places today. I really enjoyed teaching Caitlin's class today. You can tell she has really worked on routines and procedure because they ALL knew what to do. Great day...Let's do this again!

Lol! Seriously, it was very eye-opening to teach 3rd grade. I liked the 3rd graders, but I love my littles. ❤️ Apaullus

I have loved getting to know teachers that aren't usually in my hall. You girls did great in K :)))))

# data[].attributes.body
What I have noticed is groups of teachers, whose paths don't usually cross on a normal school day, .  I'm sure it has developed an appreciation for what others do on a day to day basis.

I am TIRED!! But I have loved it!!! This has made me appreciate kinder teachers even more! I didn't lose anyone nor did I get threw up on so a pretty darn good day! I have really enjoyed getting to know teachers I don't usually get to see. Let's do this again!

Well, I have had FUN today. I got to be the secretary for a while, but I have loved hearing teachers as they walk through the office about some of their experiences.  It would be like subbing. Fun times at Carver. Thanks Mrs. Burr !!!!

I really enjoyed working with Dottie Smith in Kindergarten. I forgot how much work 'littles' really are ! That being said, the kids were very well behaved and followed the lessons as usual. I had fun and learned a lot not only from the experience but from Dottie as well !

I had a blast. Love getting back with the kids. They know the expectations from being in INS squared classroom and they were AMAZING! We need to do this again.

I wish I could have traded places today. I know that the students think that it is fun to have a different teacher in their room.

I would rather be there having fun than here in bed! Looking forward to all the Tweets!!
