Pictures of dress up day have been requested multiple times, so here are a couple from 80s day. It looked better in person, but you can get the general idea.
Second, last week, on Monday, I went to a "content day" for the district. All the junior high and high school English teachers came to learn about and discuss a variety teaching topics. It was held at a local high school. I took plenty of notes related to the topics the seminars were about, but I also took notes on other things I was thinking. The result was somewhat humorous. So, without further ado, here are my thoughts from content day.
8:05 Wow. That is one tall drinking fountain. It's chest high!
This school smells like hamsters.
8:30 I actually WANT to learn Spanish!
Crap! ESL kids don't get study skills for homework help anymore? Crap crap crap.
9:20 I need a hair cut--time to call Amanda
Socratic Seminar??
9:55 I like trail mix two times only: when I'm hiking, and as a "snack" at one of these seminars.
Teachers at this school have really fun bulletin boards.
There has got to be a book about analyzing people based on their doodles when they're bored. You could analyze personality, intelligence, creativity, penchant for organization and neatness, etc.
10:00 Why did houndstooth come back in? Is it piggy-backing off of Argyle's recent surge in popularity?
Sigh. I want a real plant. Something that good with artificial light.
10:05 I don't like corduroy pants, but I do like the word curduroy.
Is giving students candy that's not individually wrapped even LEGAL anymore?
10:07 What does it say about me that most of doodles are geometric patterns? What does it say that I can't draw a non-skewed geometric pattern to save my life? They always turn out with non-uniform angles...and slightly bent lines.
10:10 How can I get my hands on the Dr. Brain series? Especially the Lost Mind of Dr. Brain. I loved those games.
10:15 Give me lamination, double-sided tape, and magnetic things, and I will change the world.
