Where's the fun?
Let's Invent Some Fun, folks!
So.....I open this group a while ago. I'm a the manager, right? Truthfully, our groups practically nonfunctional and I'm unsure of the reason(s), but predictably was want to point the finger at me. My opening goal was to interact with teachers from other districts, states and the world. I enjoy comparing 'the way it's done'; it's invigorating to learn new approaches for, as we all know, there are as many ways to teach as there are students! I was also desiring that eventually our networking and acquaintances would become so much fun that those in say, California, might want to meet up and have dinner at a restaurant together or see Disneyland, whatever! Or, given each state having many members, the same might happen state by state. I know I've lived in the Bay Area going on 7 years now and still haven't seen it all!
Come on! Help me! Let's increase our group's numbers! Let's create an air of excitement about opening our email to see who's having a great day, who's kiddo said something hilarious in class, who's been inspired, or who's being discriminated against because of the age. Invite like-minded acquaintances from other sites and from your daily lives. In fact, this very day off (thank you and Happy Birthday, MLK, Jr!) I will create a separate set of personal cards to pass out. I've recently started attending a new church and am meeting new people. I'm going to offer new folks my new card that will have not only my phone number, but a 9 pt. invitation to visit my profile here at eons as well join our group.
Okay, now it's your turn. What are your ideas for increasing the fun and support? Who will be first to share their latest classroom funny with us? I WOULD tell you about tripping over a 5th grader's sweater on the floor the other day and sprawling across the carpet in front of them all,which, I'm sure, sounds like Chevy Chase moment, but it, trust me no one laughed!
Here's to more fun group moments and idea sharing. . .
