It was a pretty overwhelming experience being here in person with a group of students I have only collaborated with via Skype. The most surprising part of the day was that the students rather quickly accepted me as their teacher. I was able to talk with Garth, teach the students and carry on as though I was in my classroom. As the day went on even some 8th graders that recognized me came in to say hello. The whole experience of the day really helped to remind me of the great experience Garth and I are providing for these students. It was also a "life coming full-circle" moment for myself since this was the first week I came to Garth's room as a student-teacher 6 years ago. In a few weeks, when Garth visits my classroom, he will post what his day was like.
