Word Cloud Challenge Thoughts

 

One of this week's challenges asked us to take an account we use or a body of text. I was fairly active on Twitter at the beginning of this class so I chose that account. Right away I notice that I obviously used the #eme hashtag often, and accounts of my classmates that I regularly interacted with are included. Other words that jump out at me are the ones that clearly demonstrate I am an elementary school teacher. In being one, I'm also no stranger to word clouds. I often use them with my upper elementary students during writing assignments and during reading small groups. Sometimes they are used to represent main idea and others are used for writing brainstorming. Overall, I wasn't entirely surprised by how my word cloud turned out, but it was still fun to make. I'm debating making one with my blog URL.

If you're unsure of what this is allow me to explain. Basically this meme represented a bookend of an event or something that has occurred. Some people use this to represent their relationship's progression, others use it to show their progression (or lack of) with a skill. The beauty of this meme is that the second image really doesn't even need to make sense. It is literally there to let the viewer take whatever their own meaning is.  For this challenge show us the start of your summer vs now! Some inspiration below:

We all need a Mr. Feeny in our lives

For the last week I've been binge watching Boy Meets World on Disney+ and I don't regret it at all. This was one of my favorite shows growing up and I was obsessed with it. My parents never let me forget that I  was convinced I was going to Pennbrook for college when I was 8. The characters in this show were so relatable and funny. They were always there for each other and each episode had a subliminal message for the viewers. Of course in all sitcoms there's a wise character who serves to teach and guide the other characters, usually younger than them. The Karate Kid had Mr. Miyagi, but Boy Meets World had Mr. Feeny. I hate to admit it but this character was part of the reason I wanted to be a teacher when I was younger. He was always the one getting everyone out of trouble, and the one people came to for advice. He seemed to always have everything under control in any situation. I admired his ability to selflessly care for those he came across and the relationships develo...
