https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0 FOR THE FUN OF EDUCATION & LOVE FOR HORACE MANN!! en-us 2018-03-07 16:19:43 UTC 2023-05-19 14:49:00 UTC hello@padlet.com davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239238524 I really enjoyed my day.  I didn't die doing lunch duty so that was a plus.  I do want to clean Jordan's room-but that is just me.  She had fun things planned for the kids and I know they enjoy her.]]> 2018-03-07 16:25:49 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239238524 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239239053 Second grade is a grade level I have no prior experience in. It was fun to see the students working at this level. However, they were so independent, I didn't feel like they needed my help. And as someone who works in Kindergarten, I am used to being needed!]]> 2018-03-07 16:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239239053 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239239455 I loved Kindergarten. There was always a shoe to tie and a hug to give.]]> 2018-03-07 16:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239239455 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239239933 Being Coach Clark for a day was really fun.  However, I did miss my own kiddos...
My favorite quote of the day came from a Kindergarten student who randomly yelled to me "Hey Teacher! One time I laughed so hard I pooped my pants!" #redifinehappiness]]> 2018-03-07 16:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239239933 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239258778 I have always had the utmost respect and admiration for the work that Mrs. Morton and Mrs. Laura do because their kids always make great gains.  After working there one day, I can see why!  They are sincerely dedicated to the success of their students.  Thank you for the experience, but I'm glad to be back in my comfort zone.]]> 2018-03-07 16:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239258778 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239258953 This was an invaluable experience, and a great chance to walk in one another's shoes for a day. You can listen to your fellow teachers talk about their days and be sympathetic or rejoice with them without really "getting" what it is to be them. I definitely would advocate doing this again.]]> 2018-03-07 16:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239258953 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239259318 It is good to see where students come from and where the students begin in their learning process. It really is amazing how much their brains soak in over a 3 year period.]]> 2018-03-07 16:52:24 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239259318 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239271527 I enjoyed spending the day with some of the new students of Horace Mann along with our students from last year.]]> 2018-03-07 17:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239271527 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239271691 After school yesterday one of my (honest!!) thoughts was, "If I was Mrs. Boyd, I would be using all of my personal and sick days (and mental health days if they existed :)"
A student said to me, "at first I was nervous about flip day but then I found out we were getting a great teacher like you so then I wasn't nervous anymore."
My student teacher said she felt like she passed a test when a (not so easy) student said to her as we were walking to the gym at the end of the day, "You did a good job."]]> 2018-03-07 17:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239271691 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239271819 It was fun, but I was ready to get back to my kids.]]> 2018-03-07 17:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239271819 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239272478 I was nervous about going to 4th grade. They are so different than 1st graders! 4th grade math was particularly making me nervous. It really wasn't bad---different---but I missed my firsties! I won't be putting in a transfer.]]> 2018-03-07 17:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239272478 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239273435 I enjoyed my day in first grade. I really enjoyed getting back with my kids in the 3rd grade. No, I do not want to change grade levels.]]> 2018-03-07 17:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239273435 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239662558 I truly enjoyed my day!!!

It was fun to see the independence in 3rd grade. They were able to do their work without 3000 questions. WOW.]]> 2018-03-08 14:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239664368 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239664563 Kindergarten was great and so much fun. They are a great group of kids that show so much love and caring for one another.

*  Second graders are soooo smart!
*  Second graders can tell time (so they kept me updated constantly about what we should be doing at the correct time.)
I misssssed MY class!]]> 2018-03-08 14:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239665765 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239670955 I liked getting to see my old friends, but I missed the atmosphere of little ones.]]> 2018-03-08 14:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239670955 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239683309 I expected to have more hiccups flipping classrooms but the students knew their job well and were able to help me. I enjoyed working with the small groups of them and seeing their capabilities outside of art!]]> 2018-03-08 14:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239683309 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239685389 It was fun. A great way to build empathy, unity. Nice to walk a mile in someone else's moccasins. ]]> 2018-03-08 14:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239685389 davisc32 https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239685681 The teacher flip reminded me of the time I spent as a substitute teacher. I'm glad I have my own class with small numbers. One the other hand, I was reminded of tools such as Notebook and science experiments I can be incorporating into my room.]]> 2018-03-08 14:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/davisc32/b2jbukkfbyh0/wish/239685681
