Mr. H heads to Chardon....

What comes around goes around.  Mr. Pennington came to my classroom two weeks ago during his Holiday break to meet the kids face to face.  They have seen him many times on Skype, but face to face is different.  Next week, Mr. P and I are opening our Window to each others schools, as we will have an all day live feed from the other classroom. 

So, on Wednesday I made the 65 minute drive to Chardon to spend the day with Mr. P's students during my Holiday break.  When I first arrived, the principal invited me in his office for a few minutes to talk.  It was nice to hear his excitement about our work.  Then he walked me to Mike's room.  He stayed in the room for some time and I was introduced and talked with the kids.  After a few minutes he and I talked some more about our plans and hopes for students, as students in the room worked on a google doc that my students had completed before our break began.  In each period, as students came in they said, "Hi Mr. Holman".  It was a treat to see them smile, as this was something new for them to see the real guy.  

As Mike noted in his post, the kids really accepted me as a teacher from the minute they walked in.  It was a true joy to have sent the day, not virtually, but physically in Mike's classroom.  It really hit home as we walked out of the school to our cars and a boy yelled, "Bye Mr. Holman, see ya soon!"
