I'm watching Cee Lo Green perform on The Voice right now in a gold metallic shoulder pad, dress-like ensemble outfit and I all I can think is, "I wish I could wear this outfit while I am teaching math." The thing is I could possibly make it happen. The Flipped Classroom was introduced to our school district and teachers were super-excited about it. For me it was like a pandora's box of sorts. A teacher videotapes him or herself teaching a lesson. The students watch it at home and come in ready the next day to work. Here is a super cute teacher example! After I watched this video, and I believe I was at our district office the first time I saw it....I immediately thought- "This is my big break! My own little way to be on television!" Yes!!!!!! But then I had to remind myself that the Flipped Classroom isn't my audition tape for The Bachelor, Top Chef or American Idol for that matter. I'm sure my Flipped Videos would have some type of entertainment value, besides just being annoying and me flipping my hair around a lot...one can only imagine. I mean, this is how I feel after I teach every 6th grade math lesson. We will see....I'm sure my sister-in-law would record my flipped classroom math lesson with my flip video camera.
It's the end of the 3rd trimester. I've found that I've invented a new word, which I'm really proud of- "cutiest" (adjective), sentence, "As the year has gone by you keep doing the cutiest things like talking with English accents." Pronunciation cu-tee-est. Definition: a way to describe something that is beyond super cute, but borderline annoying. Maybe I could make a lot of money off of inventing this word. I'm sure it could be used as an adverb too. I thought I invented this word too: chittered (verb), but apparently it's already a word. I've used it in my own sentence a couple of times....like on the last vocabulary test: "I couldn't cross the bridge to the cabin at camp because a raccoon was chittering at me."
