Today I opened up my class with a short video clip, asking the write about what the clip means to them. It was an awesome and inspiring video you can watch here, just 3 minutes but so worth it. My students were extremely engaged and most wrote whole pages in 5 minutes about motivation, never giving up, and doing what makes you happy... It was well worth the five minutes I usually use for a history related do now. I love doing fun little life skills and motivation based do now from time to time, plus it makes me happy, which is always a plus!
On another note, two of my students said I look like Buffy the vampire slayer today in two different periods, on both occasions fellow students agreed.... I don't see it, but you be the judge!
And of course the best part, my shoes :)
Shoes (Tory Burch-Nordstrom)
This is one of my favorite outfits, a little edgy with classic touch... And of course I added more edge with the rocker poof, I was having some fun with it :)
In other news we have no school Friday, one of those lovely teacher Professional Development days that I swapped for a day of PD this summer, which means a day off! Yay! So since I have a day off, keep your eyes peeled for a post on the map work I've done with my 7th graders so far this year!
Until next time!
