#WeirdEd
I chose #WeirdEd because it sounded like it would be a pretty goofy one filled with some fun stories! After reading many tweets, I have found that to be true, but it also filled with teacher encouragement and talks about the importance of celebration and goofiness in the classroom. I really loved reading this, especially while being in my first block classes. I am learning so much this semester, but there is no student interaction. Because of that, the knowledge we are learning isn't very personable. By reading these stories and words of encouragement, it is a good reminder of why I want to teach and how good of a profession teaching is.
