I confess. I began my teaching career using hand-drawn smiley faces. When email prohibited me from including a smiley face in my communications, I keyed in my own :+). Since emojis rolled onto the scene, I can express a wide range of emotions in my messaging—yet what if I choose an emoji that I think signals joy but others think it signals an enthusiastic burp? Oh my!
Let’s have a bit of fun and pretend that I’m your grade-level or age-group colleague. You’ve sent me a message asking how my day went. I send back the emoji pictured. From a teacher’s perspective, what kind of day do you think I’ve had? Can you put words with this emoji?
Can’t wait to hear!

It looks like things may have been a bit crazy and/or hectic.
It certainly looks like you’ve had a day full of different emotions and don’t know what to think or do!
Well, it has given me some room to reflect. Not a bad day but not so perfect either. I might need to approach things just a bit different in the future….
Brain Fried! Just spent 10 minutes looking for my glasses.
LOL!
Just attended another day long professional development training and realized I need to implement this in my classroom……
Hmmm what to get into next
