Have you been on Periscope? I just joined not too long ago and I love it. It's such a fun and interactive way to collaborate with teachers. I love it because the school district I work for only has one school grades K-8 and one teacher per grade level. Periscope gives me a chance to collaborate with other teachers at my grade level.
With that being said I watched a Periscope that Erica at Inspired Teacher did a fun Periscope Teacher Tag. I haven't gotten the nerve to actually do this on Periscope but I thought I would at least do it on the blog here.

| This is Pudge. He's a yellow lab and is a total goofball. He love playing with his toys and pretending that he is a lapdog. He's a cuddler for sure. We got him from my life long friend that I've known since the day she was born. |

| This is Sammy. He is the first dog my husband and I have had together. He's almost 8 years old and we just found out in Feb. that he has bone cancer in his left shoulder and there is nothing we can do. So we have him on anti-inflamatories and pain pills to keep him comfortable until it becomes too much. He is the BEST dog. We rescued him from a shelter and our lives were forever changed for the better. He has a old soul this dog. When he looks at you it's like he knows exactly what you are thinking. He's good around other dogs, adults and kids a like. Best.Dog. |
