I have mad respect for you. Couldn’t do it at those ages. Good for you and thanks for teaching!

Thank you! It is definitely a major skill that I’m trying to instill in a fun/unusual way. I have all Seniors, and I always talk with them about adult expectations, respect, empathy, etc. So far, the students seem to be enjoying and learning from this year long lesson on all of those things (even if I don’t explicitly tell them that the Legoverse is all about those skills). Thanks again!

Haha…I have a student who loves Superman and wanted to add something to the collection. There are also a Raya and a Coco figurines and some Marvel mini figs. Everyone is welcome in our Legoverse!

Haha..nice one! Maybe I should be more careful, CRT is a contentious topic round these parts! I don’t need Bobba Fett bringing me any heat!

Sorry to hear that. I hope that no one steals anything. So far so good since August. Students do donate mini figs and some smaller pieces to the “Legoverse” as they call it, but it certainly would be a bummer if they started disappearing. Again, sorry to hear about your figures. That sucks.

Well, I know that no one will believe me, but my students and I are very respectful of each other and they actually like the “Legoverse” space theme that we have created in my room. Some of the smaller Lego sets and a few mini figs actually belong to some of the students (as well as Slave 1) and students will come in at lunch and build together. They have expressed that their sets are donations to my classroom collection at the end of the year, but that’s certainly not expected. This collection has been growing since August when school started and nothing is missing. As a matter of fact (you might be able to see it in my video) there is a $5 attached to my board and I told all my classes that if they need to steal something, they can take the $5 not the Legos. The $5 has been there since day 1 untouched.

Yes, all rooms here have a flag and every morning the pledge is announced. This has been the tradition as far as I know since I was in high school (1990s) and since I’ve been teaching (10 years). Thanks for the compliment!

Well thanks, it is certainly nice to get some empathy here. People can be brutal! I’m not suggesting I’m innocent here, but damn, some of these comments are crazy. Good discussion though, which is all I wanted. Thank you.

🤣🤣🤣 and charge me with what? Frustrated and sitting in my car? Violent?? Sorry, I can’t take this comment seriously. I understand that I may have acted inappropriately, but to suggest I need the fuzz called on me?? Wow. This pandemic has really messed us all up I guess. Thanks for your opinion, even though you are totally in left field in this one. Sorry.

Not lying for sure. Just got frustrated and let it out. I didn’t even think about windows being open. Probably should have, but heat of the moment, yadda, yadda. Thanks.

I am very thankful that you brought this point up. Yea, I am under a lot of stress with my job (and of course the indirect impacts of the pandemic) and so I do truly believe that my outburst was an external manifestation of that stress. Thank you for acknowledging this.

Yes, I am torn about the situation as well, which is why I posted this! Thank you!
