Photo Challenge - 4/15

[nuggetrn]

This week's theme: "My View" To participate, post a photo of a view that you see daily, be it out your front door or your kitchen window. Maybe a photo of your cubicle or out of the window at work. Mundane or exciting, we want a picture of your world as you see it regularly.

Post your photos please!!

******************************************

And the rules as a reminder, and for the new folks that would like to play:

1. The photo you post must have been taken within the prior challenge week (usually Thursday - Wednesday).

2. The photo must have been taken by YOU.

3. Fair warning: If you ignore rules 1 & 2, you will get flamed and disqualified. It's super serious.

4. The winner will be decided by how many "Love Its" they receive for their photo.

5. Each week's winner will decide the theme for the next week and so on.

Of course, if you are uncomfortable with any challenge you can sit it out.

My classroom view from my desk! Sans students since I can't really post them on the interwebs.



Yes, I have two computers. The desktop has a faulty display driver that makes the screen flash and be warped sometimes and drives me nuts aaaaand they haven't taken it out yet.

ETA: I'm a permanent sub, I did not decorate this classroom.

rablissful, that is one hell of a classroom! lol! I love the orange and green! haha!

I remembered!! These are the ducks outside my office. I thought they were going to stick around but they haven't come back

Yeah, I wouldn't have painted the classroom orange with the bluish/greenish cabinets and lab benches. Maybe yellow, but not orange.

The cutsie frogs and flowers drive me slightly nuts as well. It reminds me of elementary school, not high school. Just my opinion though!

Yep! I teach 10th, 11th, and 12th graders- biology and anatomy & physiology. Elementary schools don't have lab benches

WTH people with foliage.

I was wondering if you were an art teacher and that's why the room is so colorful.  These colors do not inspire me to do sciency-stuff.  They inspire me to do arty-stuff, like paint the walls.

Yeah, the classroom is definitely different. The "Science is fun" phrase on the back wall makes me want to hurl. 

8 more weeks until summer vacation, and then hopefully next year I'll have my own classroom that I can decorate with science stuff!

View from our back porch. We live in a small town country neighborhood and have no neighbors behind us, just a big field. I miss living in the actual country but this is pretty good for now!

Our grass isn't this green, but we are surrounded by fields, just 5 miles out of the "heart" of the town.

This is what I saw out my sliding glass door this past weekend. I don't look out my sliding glass door anymore.


ETA: Rotate photo.

[rooskie]

This is out my backyard tonight. The red bird feeder was my grandpas and it reminds me of him. And deer. Per usual.

It is a possum. I'd never seen a live one before this one decided to live in my backyard. Time to move!

[nuggetrn]

I think since it is 10:00 I should be safe to declare a winner!! Congrats @erin2021!!

Try to be better than I was at remembering to post these threads!! Haha

rablissful, at least you teach at a school where the decorations involve posting the word "evolution" on the wall as a fact and a part of science. Sadly, that is not a given!

Thank God I live in New England where that is not an issue, unless you work in a religious school. I'm in the camp of "sorrynotsorry but if I have to teach creationism, or say that evolution is 'just a theory', I'm not working here".

I do have to open the unit up with "I'm not here to bash your beliefs, and you can continue to believe what you believe, but this is science class so we're going to learn science." This is fine, as long as I can teach the science.

I have had one kid answer the question of "What are two different theories on how life came about on the planet" and he answered it correctly, but then below he said "But I believe that God made life." Again, this is fine, as long as he put the correct scientific answer, which he did.

I just resent the fact that a large faction of religious people now teach their kids that science is a war against religion. I was raised in a very religious household by people who 100% believed in evolution, stem cell research, fossils, etc. I don't understand why we've devolved to the point where so many religious people read the Bible literally (even in Jesus' day, his followers would have understood what his stories as figurative parables) so that this has to be a conflict. It never would have occurred to me growing up that evolution was in conflict with the creation story.

Yeah! Ok so I just make a new thread letting everyone know the challenge for next week right?
