hokie carla

*likely

8:21 am

BzznBea

The one that got me was si8.70.

8:23 am

hokie carla

hmm, is that a compound with the same word we were talking about? trying everything here

8:23 am

hokie carla

ah, got it, thx

8:30 am

LuvWordGames

is the te 9 a compound word?

8:31 am

mael

as an Italian who thinks we shouldn't celebrate Columbus, I am pretty glad he's been labeled OFFENSIVE. In all caps, no less. :)

I might see a rabbit or squirrel, but no frogs outside my window :)

11:48 am

hokie carla

I called the youngest over and he & I went out to look at it. neither one of us has ever seen one like that here. It's very shiny and bright green with some light green/yellow lines on the sides.

11:50 am

moolingwa

like this? https://tinyurl.com/vhnawaev

11:51 am

moolingwa

11:53 am

moolingwa

want to be gentle with them though, their skin is a lot softer than ours

11:53 am

hokie carla

it is on the skinny window above the bay window. The youngest wanted to climb up onto the window sill and get it but I said I'd try to make it jump down, but a yard stick on the other side of the window had no effect on it.

11:54 am

MLFAN17

ni 5 clue pls?

2:21 pm

HarryHood

I have a meeting at 330, but it's going to be terrible. I think I will continue babbling :)

2:21 pm

hurshy

why will it be terrible?

2:21 pm

HarryHood

they're going to tell us how to do "student centered learning"

2:22 pm

HarryHood

what other kind of learning is there?

2:22 pm

hokie carla

wouldn't a cow be ud5-ed?

2:22 pm

hurshy

teacher centered

2:22 pm

HarryHood

new buzzwords

2:22 pm

hurshy

if you lecture and the students just listen, that's teacher-centered learning

2:22 pm

HarryHood

lawd help us

2:22 pm

moolingwa

you'd need to ask a teatcher hoke

2:23 pm

hokie carla

are we going to milk another thread for puns?

2:23 pm

HarryHood

yes, but we all know how to incorporate students into our lessons. this is just more new-fangled catchphrases

2:23 pm

HarryHood

designed to enlighten us 18th century teachers

2:23 pm

moolingwa

yes, coz I don't want the boobie prize

2:24 pm

hokie carla

always some good mammaries in these threads

2:24 pm

hurshy

well, i mean, if you want to do truly student-centered learning, they want you to like, get them to ask their own questions and explore and test and all this stuff that's like great in theory... but in reality it just takes so long that you cannot cover all the content you need to cover, if you teach at a school where there is an amount of content to cover.

2:24 pm

HarryHood

yes - project based learning. that was last year's buzzword

2:25 pm

HarryHood

thankfully it died when covid began.

2:25 pm

hurshy

and in math, i mean, they're liable to just get it all wrong, because ... somebody needs to teach you what to do

2:25 pm

hokie carla

still need 8 T's, where are these T's?

2:25 pm

hurshy

and if you have unmotivated students (who doesn't) or kids with behavior problems, and all the usual things like that...

2:26 pm

HarryHood

3 Ts here

2:26 pm

moolingwa

me too

2:26 pm

HarryHood

some kids thrive on project based learning

2:26 pm

hurshy

1 T for me

2:26 pm

hokie carla

found 1

2:26 pm

HarryHood

anyway, it's all tools we all use. to command teachers to do one thing or another all the time is foolish

2:26 pm

hurshy

i agree harry :)

2:27 pm

hokie carla

I still don't know what one who ta4 isn't a word

2:27 pm

moolingwa

found a t

2:28 pm

moolingwa

16 to go...but only 3 minutes

2:28 pm

hurshy

i felt like today, the way i was teaching, the kids that were at all willing to learn, got interested and were participating and learning. there are some kids that are just going to be difficult no matter what you do, but there's just no way to force them to learn if they are really determined not to

2:28 pm

hokie carla

moo's about to turn into a pumpkin!

2:28 pm

moolingwa

none of my tiles have more than 2 words missing

2:28 pm

moolingwa

and 8 of them are just one word remaining

2:29 pm

hokie carla

I have 3 with a lot, T, R, and a D

2:29 pm

HarryHood

there are some tough ones. some just need a connection - and they make it with particular personalities

2:29 pm

hokie carla

and @

2:29 pm

hokie carla

W

2:29 pm

HarryHood

OK - I'm going to this meeting. Haver mercy on my soul.

2:29 pm

hurshy

yeah... it's hard coming in as a long term sub this far into the year, which is my situation

2:30 pm

HarryHood

that is definitely a tough role to walk into

2:32 pm

HarryHood

I taught geometry once for a maternity leave opening. I made so many mistakes.

2:32 pm

hurshy

i didn't get all the shampoo out so i had to re_____, totally should be a word

2:33 pm

HarryHood

I feel bad for the kids, but it was a great learning experience for me

2:33 pm

hokie carla

my oldest son had a long term sub come in for Spanish I - and she didn't know Spanish. it was kind of a nightmare.

2:33 pm

hurshy

oh dear

2:34 pm

hokie carla

the other Spanish teachers had to dumb down the final for that class.

2:34 pm

HarryHood

well I knew geometry - just not much about teaching :)

2:34 pm

hurshy

i took a robotics elective in HS where right before it started, the teacher had a heart attack and had to have a quadruple bypass, so we ended up with a sub for the entire time, and he didn't know much of anything so we just kinda figured stuff out as best we could

2:35 pm

hokie carla

and he struggled in Spanish II. We were actually just talking about it yesterday, he said most of his friends from that class failed Spanish II.

2:35 pm

hurshy

that sucks

2:36 pm

hokie carla

guesses on my missing A?

2:36 pm

hurshy

i guess it is probably the same A i'm missing

2:37 pm

hokie carla

just found the british butt so it could be another easy one

2:37 pm

HarryHood

I'm also missing one A

2:37 pm

hokie carla

that is suspicious

2:38 pm

HarryHood

must be the government.

2:38 pm

Sophie214

Harry and other teachers.... I feel your pain.....retired from teaching after 34 yrs....not sure I would have survived with all of this covid distance learning

2:39 pm

HarryHood

it's been a bit of a challenge.

2:39 pm

hurshy

understatement of the pandemic

2:40 pm

HarryHood

the terrific thing about it is being able to babble during faculty meetings.

2:40 pm

hokie carla

I always thought I wanted to be a teacher, but my former teacher dad was like, it's not for everyone. Then I subbed one day in preschool and that was enough for me.

2:42 pm

HarryHood

moolingwa

oh sorry...no, it's not the last one

2:58 pm

hokie carla

peach, similar to a de6

2:58 pm

moolingwa

the one I was thinking of is an e5 it actually means the "formal content of a culture"

2:59 pm

4:37 pm

hokie carla

4:37 pm

HarryHood

4:38 pm

HarryHood

different strokes

4:38 pm

HarryHood

what you talkin bout willis

4:39 pm

HarryHood

wow - that show would be uber-cancelled these days.

4:41 pm

hokie carla

but a rich white man adopted 2 black kids that were orphans and they all became a family

4:41 pm

HarryHood

yeah but it's so preachy - he gives them advice and he and that big sister are so condescending

4:42 pm

HarryHood

kimberly.

4:42 pm

hokie carla

just saw a minute of that the other day. kimberly came in from a ski trip where she met a boy and they just took long walks together.

4:42 pm

HarryHood

eek!

4:43 pm

HarryHood

she had a tough life that kimberly.

4:43 pm

hokie carla

not sure how old she was supposed to be but I thought it was funny she'd just go off skiing by herself

4:43 pm

hokie carla

isn't she one of the child starts that didn't make it?

4:44 pm

HarryHood

yeah

4:44 pm

HarryHood

arnold also. willis was in prison for awhille, I think - not sure if he's alive

4:44 pm

HarryHood

Mrs. Garret did pretty well for herself though

4:45 pm

hokie carla

I think willis is the only one still alive

4:45 pm

HarryHood

well. 13 for later. gotta go get supper for the masses.

4:45 pm

HarryHood

hagn

4:45 pm

5:16 pm

hokie carla

5:16 pm

moolingwa

yes, 3 D's remaining

5:17 pm

moolingwa

I have two d8s

5:17 pm

moolingwa

three d8s

5:18 pm

hokie carla

moolingwa

it's a plural, of a t7, but the ending is completely different

7:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

of the te 7 before it?

7:51 pm

moolingwa

no, the singular is actually right after it

7:51 pm

moolingwa

there's a t6/7 after it...and the 9 is the plural of both
