Thank you so much for your comments. I w...Leanna,<br /> Thank you so much for your comments. I would love to hear how you're changing your style!<br /><br />This has been an interesting start to the year for me. I have spent the last few years in the district creating and curating a reputation as someone who doesn't mess around. Kids who don't have me in class see me as mean, but my students usually correct that. "He's not mean. He's just strict!"<br /><br />If I can leverage that this year into letting my students have fun in class, but having them know that they have to come back when I need them, then I'll be set to have the best year ever.<br /><br />Do you have a blog somewhere? Are you on Twitter? I would love to follow your progress?Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13309915942161862912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363356760450940988.post-80653788754443973872013-09-01T14:56:08.991-04:002013-09-01T14:56:08.991-04:00Check out Day 4 for the rundown of the presentatio...Check out Day 4 for the rundown of the presentation as well as the link to the Storify! You have no idea how difficult it is to talk about the amazing things at TMC without using the word Twitter. A major goal for this year will be to remove the stigma from Twitter so that I can talk about it openly.<br /><br />Eventually, I will be able to openly declare my love for you and Fawn, but that's down the road. :-)Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13309915942161862912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363356760450940988.post-9865813272696112262013-09-01T08:36:19.483-04:002013-09-01T08:36:19.483-04:00I am also relearning to teach after 17 years.

I also love that you reached some of the "hard-to-reach" students! I did this activity with an entire class of girls and some of them had not said a word until we did the marshmallow challenge. They did not want to be in the class until they realized we would be having fun too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999157449165506846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363356760450940988.post-15379907204851367402013-09-01T08:22:48.743-04:002013-09-01T08:22:48.743-04:00I love everything about this post.

And, even though it didn't work for everyone, it sounds like your marshmallow activity touched two lives. No lesson works for everyone, and I'm happy if i touch even one so that was a tremendous success. I'm happy that you are inspired but TMC, but even happier that you get to share about it! I was asked to share as well and I would love to see what you present.<br /><br />JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363356760450940988.post-33184220128920818752013-08-27T20:28:22.266-04:002013-08-27T20:28:22.266-04:00Me too.
