Mr T's Ischool Phlog

My name is Tyler. My name is Jeremiah. My name is Ty. And we're here to talk about our vocabulary cards. We're using index cards. We'll be writing the parts of speech and definitions. That's it. Goodbye

My name is Ellie. My name is Makenzie. The Specials we had this week were music, arts, and PE.

Hi, I'm Colton. Hi, I'm Sam. We will be talking about Science Mechanics. We learned how to use a compass, ruler, and, most importantly, how to follow directions. Thank you.

Hello parents and students. This is Mr T and it's week 2 at Legacy Academy iSchool. We're still spending lot of time on expectations and we're working on a number of procedures. We're trying to make sure everyone understands and follows, such as transitions to and from classrooms, specials; lunch room. We're also discussing our classroom discipline policy, how to put a proper heading on a piece of paper, what's involved in our various classroom jobs, how to pass in completed work, or how to fill in the planner. There's any number of procedures that we're trying to turn into routines.

Hi, this is Dave Tallents and I just want to tell you that the calvary has arrived. Brayden Wardrop and Kim Baum are at the Legacy [Academy] marketing booth at the Elbert County Fair in Kiowa, Colorado. We're streaming a video that gives a little information on the awesomeness of the iSchool plan and we have the Mac, we have the 32in HDTV, right? We have an iPad here and Macbook, and we're doing all this without wireless. So stop by if you can and if you're a Legacy parent, please steer people in here that are on the fence about their decision for elementary and middle school this coming year, academic year 2011 and 2012.

Hi I'm Dave Talent and I used the 40 year old Roger Patterson film of Big Foot when I'm introducing the scientific method to my 4th graders at Legacy Academy. The kids viewed the video and they hypothesized on possible answers on what they are seeing. The number one reason I used it is just because of the discussion that it fosters because you have most of these kids are either true believers or nay sayers there's a lot of them that are in between that are trying to form their own conclusions and answers on about the video. I've included a Wiki link, Wikipedia link that gives background information regarding Big Foot and I've also of course included a YouTube.

Hello 4th graders, this is Mr T and it is Thursday on our cancelled field day just wanted to alert you parents that many of the students did not take their gym shoes home. So they are sitting in a bucket out in front of my classroom in the hallway and they'll be there until tomorrow evening which is Friday and then after that I think they're gonna be donated to the physical education department for students that need foot wear next year. So hope to see you perhaps and otherwise their shoes will be put to good use. Thanks. Bye.

Hello 4th grade field day has been cancelled due to the rain. I had a fantastic day yesterday at the Paint Mines. I am going to miss each and every one of you. Thank you for an absolutely wonderful year. Don't let your brain shrink too much this summer and remember next year begins Legacy Academy's new adventure as the nation's newest iSchool. Have a fantastic summer [robotic voice provided by Mr. T]

Some of Mr. T's 4th graders (Abby, Nicholas, Lindsey, Anthony, Brittany V. and Heather) at Legacy Academy recite their haikus "What Am I?"
