Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

I would assume the blueprints for the entire ship still exist, given that the grand staircase recreation in the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge was constructed from actual blueprints … right down to the use of linoleum on the floor.

(Betcha you assumed it was marble. I know I always did. Nope, linoleum was the newest, “grandest”, most expensive material available in 1911-1912, so that’s what they used!)
I think you've said that before. However, did you know that marble is a metamorphic rock? We've been doing a unit called The History of the Earth over the past couple weeks, and we learned about igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks yesterday. Marble is actually formed from limestone.

This is a new curriculum we're using this year, and I'm learning so much as I teach my first graders. 😂

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.

I have always taken it for granite.

Tonight was my last viewing of Titanic on the big screen. Hopefully not forever, but certainly for this 25th Anniversary release. 🙁

In 28 days, I saw it 10 times - once with my cousin, once with my SIL, once with my son, twice with Mike, and five times solo. Add in a viewing of the oh so silly Ant Man & The Wasp Quantumania … and that’s a whole lot of time spent in the movie theatre!

Next up, at some point, will be Avatar 2, and then probably nothing until GotG3 and Indy5.

What is the title of Indy 5? Mystery of the missing Geritol bottle? Or perhaps, Indiana Jones and the lost youth? Hopefully, he will at least bring a grandson along with him to help him up when he falls. ;)

I might have just generated a bit of elder abuse. I just realized that he is 6 years older then me and I'm just flaunting my youth.

Roughly 43 hours you nutball. I'm pretty sure you didn't sleep that much in the past 28 days.

@ajrwdwgirl I think you've mentioned having student teachers before. If so, did you like having one? One is looking to come to our school in the fall, and I'm not sure if I'm interested or not. I think I'd like it, but then I also feel like I'd have some issues relinquishing control on how routines and procedures are done. Also, I feel like I have so much background knowledge in how to teach our two new curriculums, that I'd be cringing if it wasn't taught the right way.

Even if I say I'm interested, it doesn't guarantee I'd be the teacher who would get her.

I have had many student teacher and they all have been different with their teaching styles and their interaction with kids. Some student teachers have been very independent and some have needed a lot of hand holding. I would say that I have been 90% please with all of them and their handling of the curriculum and classroom procedures. If you have a 1st quarter student teacher they can work with you on setting up procedures and building the routines you want. Later student teachers usually fall in line with what you have established already.

I like that student teachers can come in with new ideas and put a fresh spin on lessons. Also if they are very good, then I feel comfortable letting them have a little free reign and I can work on certain projects that I don't normally have time for. If you are interested maybe a 2nd-4th quarter placement would work best for you so you can get your classroom procedures in place before they get there. You'll also be able to push past the "I wouldn't do it that way" feelings and remember they are just learning the teaching ropes themselves and the students will survive.

I had a couple pre-service teachers in my room for just a couple hours back before covid. One was really good, and the other was very nervous and timid and didn't take much initiative. I did enjoy it, though. But that wasn't student teaching, either.

I'm not sure when it would be. The email just said "Fall 2023". I'm not sure if it'd be for a whole semester, or just a quarter. I'm not sure I'd want one for a whole semester, honestly.

What university would they be coming from? Mine come from UW-Eau Claire. I just filled out their student teacher survey for next year. On their survey's they always ask if we want a pre-student teacher or student teachers and they ask for quarter preferences and if we want it quarterly or by semester. I've never done the pre-student teacher before, it seems too inconsistent for me for some reason.

They'd be coming from UW-Stevens Point. Our principal emailed our staff. I didn't know some places let you fill out surveys. When I student taught, they university just contacted places, and they said if they were interested or not.
