YAY! I am on spring break!!!! *dashes through room scattering choclits willy-nilly* hello EVERYONE!
10:12 am
kje
awesome... i miss spring break!
10:14 am
stidmama
(((kje))) but you have some excellent hills to climb, with lovely meals afterward... we just have piles of planning to do and papers to grade. LOL but it does feel nice to do those things with feet up and no kids needing attention.
10:16 am
kje
when I taught school, exams were before spring break but grades had to be in by the end of that week (before break) - hellish week... but made for a much better break. Smart principal
10:20 am
stidmama
Yes, grades are done and conferences are over (thankfully!); but state tests start two weeks after we return and go for four weeks during which the kids are too exhausted after the test for a couple days to do much learning. So... I am planning poetry, fable-writing, and science lessons for the next couple months. :-)
10:21 am
stidmama
I think that's spelled faience? ;-)
10:21 am
kje
4 weeks of testing? that is insane.
10:21 am
kje
It wasn't a word... it was attempts at monkeyin anything to fill my last 2 Fs!
10:22 am

but fables and poetry sound fun

It's cloudy and gr4 here, but supposed to be sunny and maybe up to 60 here. What about down your way?

Plodding along, some days better than others. Admire your sticking with teaching. I taught for 7 years but would never be able to do it with the way the world is now.

thanks kje, someone said earlier that it ended in the gerund ending so that is what I was trying...

I love teaching the third grade - more than I expected to! But it's rough work and not sure how long health will let me stick with it.

I must have reread that, already had the nine.

10:27 am
kje
nice, natasha!
10:28 am
NANCY
stid, I taught early elementary as well. But that was before cell phones and tablets and phone crazy kids.
10:28 am
NatashaW
the good thing about really long words is they tend NOT to be babblets in Scots dialect.
10:29 am
stidmama
oh yes -- some of my kiddos come to school with watch-phones and I have to have the principals call and tell parents why we don't allow them at school! It's a very different world even from ten years ago when I started back to school for certification.
10:32 am
stidmama
brb -- time for second breakfast for my boy!
10:32 am
NANCY
it seems the kids now have the attention span of knats unless they are clued to a game or something on their phones which they check every three minutes to make sure they have not missed what their friends have done or said. sad
10:33 am
kje
so funny how each generation thinks this about the next. Kids haven't changed so much
10:33 am
NatashaW
It is astonishing the rapidity of the change in human behavior since the advent of social media and smartphones. I ride the DC Metro and am the ONLY person gazing out the window and being present in my life. Everyone else is earbudded and "not there."
10:35 am
stidmama
Kids haven't, kje, but the environment has. And they are very responsive to that - they really struggle to maintain focus and persevere in many things. I also teach in a high-poverty school so there is an added element of not sleeping/eating/being safe in general for a large number of students in the school.
10:35 am
NatashaW
Not sure I agree, kje. I have a 19 year old son who is really outstandingly intelligent - completed 8 AP courses and entered college as a soph. Yet even he refuses to read a long novel. He reads Wikipedia articles.
10:35 am
stidmama
It is astonishing how few of my students have any core strength, or enough knowledge of their bodies to mimic/mirror gross motor activities.
10:36 am
stidmama
I have students whose pencil grip is exceedingly poor and who complain when using scissors because they don't use their hands for anything but swiping on tablets or moving mini joysticks on video controllers. :-(
10:38 am
stidmama
So it's challenging to have them actually work, when developmentally their brains are still ready and willing to draw/color/write and their expectations are for the physical activities to be easy and the action to be fast and the rewards to be instant.
10:38 am
kje
haven't seen that so much here... there are plenty of easily distracted kids, but plenty that do great also. Mixed bag
10:39 am
stidmama
Wish that were true here -- when most of the kids can and do, they elevate the expectations and determination of the rest.
10:42 am
NANCY
hopefully, you get some personal fulfillment from teaching and inspr
10:42 am
kje
but we have adapted as well... we have the ability to use more technology in teaching, and more flipped classroom and experiential learning
10:43 am
stidmama
I love it. :-)
10:43 am
NANCY
inspiring these students. My admiration goes to you for forging on
10:44 am
kje
they are lucky to have you, stid... they need teachers who love it and are in it with them
10:44 am
stidmama
Flipped classrooms only work, kje, when there is electricity in a home and internet access and computers, unfortunately. And in the younger grades to do a flipped classroom requires parents who aren't working two and three jobs so they can be there and help the students when they get home. :-( Rural and poor communities lack so much of the resources that urban and wealthier places (like my home district) provide.
10:45 am
kje
I agree, stid... and that is why the way our schools are funded is problematic
10:47 am
aebmusica

10:47 am

flipped classrooms are a joke.
10:47 am

In my state, we are FINALLY getting legislative action to correct the serious imbalance in funding (our state constitution requires fully-funded schools but hasn't for decades). But it will take a while for it all to catch up.

On the plus side... All offspring are home. Hale, hearty & drinking my expensive bottle of gin.

That is always a plus. Will have all the kids and grandkids together tomorrow for dinner

Free clue.

Ah! Gapeach..... how lovely to ‘see’ you, my dear. How are you?’
4:45 pm
gapeach
Just getting older...LOL. Don't get out much any more, since I can no longer drive. But I could be worse so I won't complain. Hope you and the kiddos are well.
4:46 pm
Scrabbler
Who helps you with shopping, peach?
4:48 pm
Soodle
All tickety-boo here Peach. All of us getting older, not necessarily wiser!!! Happy to have them all home for Easter. How are you doing?
4:48 pm
gapeach
I have two close friends...one does the groceries and the other the meds. I miss shopping.
4:49 pm
Scrabbler
Soodle, last month I read a Colm Toibin book which was set in Ireland.
4:49 pm
gapeach
Much pain but I deal with it....when I can. Just hanging on.
4:49 pm
Scrabbler
Arthritis, peach?
4:50 pm
Soodle
Of course you must miss your independence Peach. It’s tough
4:52 pm
gapeach
Oh, yes, Scrabbs. Post polio syndrome and two strokes CPO bronchitis and diabetes. Otherwise I'm fine.
4:52 pm
Soodle
Which of Colm Toibin’s books did you read, Scrabbler?
4:53 pm
Scrabbler
Oh, peach. So much to deal with. But you are here with us and I am happy to see you here.
4:53 pm
Scrabbler
Soodle: Nora Webster
4:53 pm
Soodle
What Scrabbler said!!!
4:54 pm
Soodle
Did you like it, Scrabbs?
4:55 pm
gapeach
Yes Soodle, it is. I was always the one who took care of everyone else. I have trouble asking people to do things for me....guess I'll learn. All prayers and good thoughts are appreciated.
4:55 pm
Scrabbler
I liked it but didn't love it. I looked at a map to see the towns. I like historical fiction the most, but the story just abruptly ended.
4:56 pm
Scrabbler
Peach, I am the same way--independent, stoic, self-sufficient.
4:58 pm
gapeach
I have two rescue dogs that depend on me to feed and care for them.....it's good that I can still roll around and care for them. One of my friends is a
4:59 pm
gapeach
Vet and she helps a lot. I made some wonderful memories and they sustain me now.
5:00 pm
Scrabbler
Those dogs need you, peach.
5:00 pm
Soodle
Oh, Gapeach....through Babble I have ‘met’ many people. I have formed very important friendships, I have been duped by unscrupulous players, I have fallen out with people which I bitterly regret..... but You, Gapeach, will always remain as one of my best Babble Buddies. I wish you nothing but the very best.
5:01 pm
gapeach
Blessings on you
5:02 pm
gapeach
Soodle. And Scrabbs also.

Isn't one supposed to have scruples to call other people unscrupulous players?
5:06 pm

Hi Ruru, Dylan, and Chelsea. How is Chelsea doing?
5:08 pm
rururocks
Chelsea is improving.. still has one more procedure to do on her nose and sinuses. she is thriving here and very happy
5:08 pm
rururocks
I'm really proud of what I've been able to do for her
5:08 pm
Scrabbler
Great to hear. Have you finalized the adoption yet?
5:10 pm
rururocks
yes.. he surrendered her to the rescue organization I was fostering for and I've put in adoption papers and now she's mine and I'm her's. she's the sweetest dog and I'm in love with her
5:11 pm
gapeach
I'm so glad for you, ruru.
5:12 pm
Scrabbler
What a wonderful story. Win-win.
5:13 pm
rururocks
yeah..it''s great.. I really feel like I'm doing something great and contributing. I think I was meant to save her.
5:14 pm
rururocks
the rescue organization has spent over $12K on her and I've done another $10K... she was very sick when we got her.. but you wouldn't know that now.
5:14 pm
Scrabbler
How fortunate that $ was available to provide medical care.
5:16 pm
rururocks
how fortunate that I've help raise over $350,000 for the rescue organization over the last 4 years.. that made a difference
5:17 pm
rururocks
they are an incredible... selfless organization.. doing great, great things out here. Kind of like what une's does but for all kinds of animals
5:18 pm
Scrabbler
People that love animals are special folks.
5:19 pm

Ru, it is nice of you, and those with the money to do it, to contribute to such a good cause.
5:20 pm

in the terrible fires we had here.. they save hundreds and hundreds of Cats and dogs, over a 150 horses, two herds of sheep, hundreds of chickens, and god knows what else.
5:20 pm
rururocks
they saved that is
5:25 pm
Soodle
Ok. I was offline & just returned. Rururocks :- your post at 5.04 is presumably aimed at me. I'm here now. Online. Would you like to expand on that thread?
5:26 pm
rururocks
sure.. if you're going to do name calling at players be prepared to think about your own behavior is what I'm saying
5:30 pm

Donning sack-cloth & ashes. Parading self in front of assembled Babblers beseeching forgivenes for breaching the Sacred Babble rules. Mae Culpa. Mae Culpa.

5:42 pm

I'm flawed. I yelled at an obnoxious little (unchaperoned) kid in the movie theater this afternoon. She stopped on a dime, though! :)
5:42 pm
Scrabbler
Nope. We are all imperfect, with limitations.I try to learn from my mistakes.
5:45 pm
Soodle
Well done Scrabbler, for admitting you have flaws. As anybody who knows me will testify, I have no flaws. I'n a bit like Mary Poppins - practically perfect in any way way. Emphasis on 'Practically' ...
5:46 pm
Soodle
Lol Champ!

one of my best HS friends was the daughter of a doctor who wrote a book about facing mistakes in medicine. It is hard and much of the profession is set up to avoid just that.
