Hi Tara! Great to have you join us tonight!

A1: I think that it's all about how you embrace many different traditions throughout the year. Halloween isn't the only event.
-
A1: I'll often make a costume by just +ing a sign around my neck. This allows for us to creatively create costumes at the last sec
-
Bonjour ! Carrie, k to 12 science + technology integration at

A1: Just like other opportunities to share cultures, you invite conversation.

Parade in the morning, then our staff are putting on events in the afternoon (whole school, 9 classes, 4 sessions).

-
Q1: When I was in the classroom, I had a box of costumes for those who needed one last minute.

A1 Children who don't recognize Halloween for religious reasons are kept home by their parents.

You look good. Look forward to the story behind the smile.
-
I am eager to hear about you curriculum efforts in .

A1: When I was in the classroom, I had a box of costumes for those who needed one last minute.
-
-
RATS! Forgot the hashtag! https://t.co/Z8DTmtBgMI

A1 Several classes do fun centres. Teacher Aides stay with those children who may have trouble or the child in distress stays with me.

-
Love it. Similar to parade then events in the pm. First elementary Halloween for me..
-
Hey Sharon. Welcome back to .
-
Having a Halloween inspired activity that relates to my subject material and some extra candy
-
Used my tickle trunk as well for other embodiments in story telling in the rest of the year.
-
It's very different than at secondary, where you are on patrol for 'pranks' all day....and those darn fireworks.
-
Can you share a few titles? What grades?
-
A1 being a K teacher comes in handy...I have LOTS of extra costumes. IMHO thought Halloween is not the only holiday we celebrate
-
Thanks! Happy to be here. You're my favourite chat, !
-
A1: our school has a Halloween parade. I'm doing pumpkin math inquiries and my class won a party by speaking French A LOT!
-
Hello everyone, , ! Hope all is well!! Ms. K here representing
-
always fun finding age appropriate "tales of terror" to ensure everyone is having fun
-
Hello Principal from Estevan, Saskatchewan joining in tonight.
-
A1: still lots of room for improvement in terms of inclusion
-
-
I still remember The Pumpkin Tree from elementary. Read as class in the gym (lights out).
-
-
A1 day of the dead activities are excellent
-
I have 7th this year. My personal favorite creepy story to teach foreshadowing with is The Landlady by Roald Dahl
-
So pretty! Love the crown.
-
Hello Michelle! Thanks for joining us tonight!

always good to have a "flatlander" join in! Lots of former Saskatchewan folk in
-
Hi I'm Julianne lee - happy to be part of

A1 We have a carnival planned by our student leadership team. Those that don't celebrate Halloween have other activities.
-
Q2 is coming! Watch for it from
-
Hello. Christine from the Sunshine Coast. Looking forward to discussing "Strange Things" in education.
-
My favourite is Clockwork by Phillip Pullman.
-
-
Sounds about right - add in some costumes and some creative writing and that will be my day.
-
Kept me on my toes. Now at elementary, so different things keep me on my toes....
-
I promise we were not talking about you behind your back.
-
Q2: Do you have a prefered costume? Just on Oct 31- or do you “dress up” regularly….?
-
"Easy to draw, hard to spell".
-
that is a Tiara. Please use the correct name
-
Curious. How are those students supported? Who provides support?
-
I thought you wrote Clockwork Orange and thought...That's not a good book for elementary.....
-
We have teachers in both areas.
-
Meadow Lake, La Loche, Cole Bay - REPRESENT!
-
Check it out my friend. Best suited for intermediates.
-
Sorry. I appreciate being corrected. Still learning my princess fashion.
-
We used them for drama, to recreate stories, forimaginative play all year. Sometimes we just pulled them out for fun!
-
A2: Plan to bring up conversations about stereotypes, inclusiveness. Influenced by
-
That's funny Fred. Stranger things have happened. What's Q2? https://t.co/hAITa6PQQv
-
-
I promise we were not talking about you behind your back.
-
Make time PLEASE 2 remind Ss that cute "sparklers' are v dangerous = my greatest concern @ Halloween (spoken from experience)
-
A2 the king's new clothes costume
-
Ha, ha! Always been a prairie girl started in Alberta, then Manitoba and now Saskatchewan.
-
A2: I dress up! I have holiday themed outfits, school colours for assemblies. Last week I wore a different skull outfit every day
-
-
A2 when I was at secd'y I had this pumpkin shirt I wore every year. Ss thought it was hilarious b/c it w… https://t.co/LmvZIOhKzr
-
-
Q2: Do you have a prefered costume? Just on Oct 31- or do you “dress up” regularly….?
-
A2 my kids at home have made me change from my traditional "sleepy guy" costume to paper bag principal last year (secret tomorrow)
-
A2: I always like being the bloody vampire, but as admin, I find that the tin man, Star Trek character or the minion work best.
-
-
A2 Truth - I have headbands for any occasion (snowflakes, hearts, eggs) but hate wearing a costume. I usually take it for by 9:30.
-
A2. When i was still teaching, my costume on Halloween launched the next theme in my class. It was a tradition. Kids loved it!
-
A2: Going as Venkman from Ghostbusters. Moving away from Star Trek and Star Wars theme for first time in ages
-
-
-
A2: I keep it simple, but love to dress up for spirit weeks and holidays
-
-
well the topic is strange things in ed
-
A2 This year I'm an emoticon. I can take it off and put it back on in seconds flat. Also, it's cute. https://t.co/RL957guGS0
-
Never nudge. PUSH hard. All Ss and adults actively employ imagination--use the same tools in teaching!
-
what????? no OK...but I have to ask...do you have a
-
There has to be a pic of the pumpkin costume somewhere out there!
-
Love it! I'm still going for the 'younger crowd' appeal. Although star wars is always my favorite.
-
A2: I haven't come up with a good costume yet 🤔
-
Maybe I'll bring my and paint him green!
-
A2: I love theme nights + costumes. Definetly something we do often.
-
I drove thru SK this summer. Very flat and loads of road construction!
-
A1 last year I was a ty beanie baby bunny, I have been miss frizzle this year I'm a Dr. both easy to do and comfortable
-
I liked the Brexit one....Union Jack t-shirt, exit sign around your neck....
-
Prepared with reversable emotions?
-
-
Q3: What are some of the “tricks” you use to encourage learning?
-
Q3: What are some of the “tricks” you use to encourage learning?
-
I am not a huge fan of Halloween. Love the kids having fun, but not really into the costumes. I will rock my Halloween shirt.
-
Here you go: Staple a bunch of sponges to yourself. You are SELF-ABSORBED. good right?!
-
That brings up a great point. Not all staff recognize Halloween. How do we accommodate?
-
Nope! If anyone asks me which emoticon I am, my answer is "The one who loves school!" 😍
-
A3: Hey...learning isn't a trick. But my "trick" is to create that safe space to learn (relationships!)
-
-
A2: was a mime last year, taught all day without speaking. Made it to the last 10 mins of the day when I accidentally spoke!
-
A3 I always love it when learners are "tricked" into trusting themselves to taking a risk (not waiting for me to always help)
-
A knight. A pirate. A princess. A bumble bee. I had the same students 4 years in a row so had to switch up the themes :)
-
I always enjoy a good word play.
-
-
Love it! That must have been amazing! https://t.co/3GL2ilqRJX
-
-
A2: was a mime last year, taught all day without speaking. Made it to the last 10 mins of the day when I accidentally spoke!
-
Maybe I'll wear a blazer w/ the usual shirt tie and when kids ask say I dressed as a boss 😂 https://t.co/CeQZhBiTX2
-
-
Not "tricks" but ALWAYS engage emotion with tools of imagination. Use as many as possible all the time… https://t.co/su9AQVdmxL
-
-
Q3: What are some of the “tricks” you use to encourage learning?
-
I think we need to be respectful at all costs and don't have certain expectations for everyone.
-
then they could be 'awe' on one side and 'wonder' on the other.
-
How about a Rubik's Cube?
-
This is one of the "good/tough thinking" parts of our job - balancing cultures/traditions/multi-everything https://t.co/hGcIpf4nlO
-
-
That brings up a great point. Not all staff recognize Halloween. How do we accommodate?
-
I use pictures as a "trick" to engage
-
-
A3: I like to trick my students that characters/politicians/celebrities are texting me/writing them memos.
-
A3: Getting Ss to ask their own Qs and then want to solve them.
-
A3: I like to play into student choice and interest. I "trick" them into believing they choose their assignments
-
Great idea! Kids would love that!
-
A3 Connecting things to their real life experiences (not much of a trick, really). Also, I make time for fun.
-
-
Q4: What are some of the “treats” learners need/want?
-
-
literacy day is a good compromise. Come to school dressed as your favorite character fm a bk
-
A3: Tricks usually involve food (we used to cook frequently in class), pairing up with Ss in other classes, themes that 1/2
-
Nice idea to connect learning with the fun!
-
-
A4 the love of learning and the ability to be creative
-
Shannon from PG. A3: I use stamp sheet for work habits,hw checks. 10 stamps= prize. I collect at term end for WH assessment.
-
-
A3 : hook Ss + get them involved in learning, tinkering + manipulating at all ages! 2/2
-
A4 I always find it tricky to know when to emphasize intrinsic and external rewards; different for each school/class/student
-
A4: belonging, safety, challenge, efficacy, making a (positive) difference, making connections, success, laughter . . .
-
A3: draw s + t att'n to others' actions + RX's in classroom/bldg about lessons/initiatives happening around them w/peers
-
We hope you’re enjoying the chat tonight! Remember, we chat every Sunday at 7 pm PST!
-
A4 Ss need--to be respected, trusted, admired, appreciated. They need FEEDBACK. They need to laugh. Th… https://t.co/wHp46vsywX
-
-
Q4: What are some of the “treats” learners need/want?
-
A3: I try to know which carrots to dangle or buttons to push to help motivate as many different individuals as possible
-
A4 There should be some time each day (not recess or lunch) that's unstructured. Brains need time to relax.
-
A4: Kids love positive feedback, consistency in reporting. I've moved to descr feedback & 4 pt rubric. They love it
-
-
On another chat, a T said she was giving out comic books instead of candy to encourage reading. Love it!
-
Lots of responses that incl. food! Anyone share ideas re: allergies and other med conditions with all the treats coming in?
-
A4 I like using pencils from office for "token rewards" but I know during learning time that descriptive feedback has great value
-
A4: "Treats" - learning their own power as individuals with opinions, bias, and stories.
-
A4: I think Ss want to be able to play, to make connections, to be active in their learning. Tinkering, Making, asking questions.
-
Ha! I think you mean as the celebrity.
-
A3 Use Walk-to-Talk, flexible seating, tables instead of desks, and LOTS of discussion & questions!
-
A4: your respect and genuine admiration of their work. Heartfelt congratulations and rewards when they work hard for you.
-
where is she anyway? You all can have Victoria I will take Bryn 💥
-
I'm a bit more on the anti-rewards side of things (but not entirely opposed on a case by case basis).
-
This is an area I try to be proactive on when talking with students about "costumes"! Good share https://t.co/izaFz3mLaC
-
Mr. Lemoncello has asked them to make their own board games. Powerful learning/playing happening in room 14!
-
-
-
A4: students want to be VALUED and RESPECTED. "Students don't learn from people they don't like."
-
-
-
this is a cool idea. I prefer alternatives to candy. Pencils, erasers etc.
-
like I say, I find "it depends" is pretty accurate - but always evolving from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation
-
Wait a minute....are we trading tweeps like hockey cards? cool.
-
A4: students want transparency, test guides, rubrics up front. More treats and no tricks once in teacher's hands
-
-
A4.Our students forget most of what we teach them.They remember us their teachers forever.Lets be good and kind to them
-
-
yep. We are have a tweep draft
-
Totally. It's straight up behaviourism
-
No...you can't dibs yourself! Dibs on Nathan!
-
-
Enjoying the as I get my kids costumes ready for Halloween tomorrow! I have a toilet costume to prepare!
-
A4: I like to pull an S aside quickly like somethings up and then say "hey..ur doing great lately, just wanted u 2 know I notice"
-
A4: Postive encouragement, feedback, sense of belonging and safety- able to take risks in their learning https://t.co/QZsZmQhOIx
-
-
I used to give out pencils, temporary tattoos, + an activity booklet w/ halloween word searches + labyrinths
-
Now I want to use profile pics and make a trading game online....
-
Q5: What do you think people, who aren’t educators, find as the strangest things we do in our profession?
-
Yes! Such a great time for us educators to step in and promote cultural sensitivity
-
ugh....flashbacks to junior high!
-
this could be fun. Dibs on
-
-
Great to have here James!
-
A5: That we like our work with young people. That we go to school every day with hope and happiness in our hearts.
-
I'm a little flushed from the speed of tonight as well.
-
you have a tweep draft in junior high
-
Do I really want to know about this toilet costume? Send pics!
-
-
Haha thanks! We can only do our parts
-
A5: deal with all the stress because most don't fully understand that special and unique feeling of a great day in the classroom
-
A5: my non-teacher friends feel very annoyed when surrounded by teachers. ALL THE ED. TALK. Even (especially) on Friday nights
-
...until it isn't, when it becomes more complex and interesting!
-
A5 The other day I asked a friend if she got knots out of shoes, calmed arguments, washed paint off tables, etc at her job. Nope.
-
A5: Devote so much "unpaid" time to our jobs because our "teacher OCD" forces us too! Lol
-
A5: Friends often thought it strange that I gave so much of my free time to Ss without personal reward. Intrinsic reward enough.
-
and that a bunch of spend Sunday nights together on a twitter chat talking education!
-
A5: Other than getting dressed up with 25 little people? ;)
-
No kids need more time to be creative and just play. Too many are scheduled in their lives.
-
Yes! Flexible seating and multiple breaks so they learn in "chunks"
-
I draft with my 4th selection
-
A5 acronyms. We very easily talk in code. At a community forum this weekend we had to reap down what numeracy and literacy meant
-
A5. That we have so much patience! Plus how many times I say "hands to yourself + be socially responsible" a day.
-
A5: I think mostly they don't get how we can't leave it in our class. Weekends, summer holidays, we are always thinking about Ss
-
Yes! Patience! Great idea Sara!
-
A5: the dollar store employees know me by first name. :-/
-
Q5 I think most people do not understand all the changes in education. They expect things to be like when they were in school.
-
A5 attend 3-4 twitter chats in one night
-
A5: Consider our students our children: cry when we feel 4 them or are moved, lose sleep at night, allow stress into personal life
-
A5 What an awesome question! Do non-educators understand the bonds that can form between Ts and Ss? And… https://t.co/aKMZXM6uYe
-
-
Q5: What do you think people, who aren’t educators, find as the strangest things we do in our profession?
-
I have been heard saying don't lick your friends and stop sniffing the walls
-
That's what I like about K: unstructured free play EVERY DAY! Every grade needs a little bit of K in it.
-
And we are so happy that you are here at tonight!
-
-
-
Too true - not a job with time limits. Always too many thinkings to be thought! https://t.co/dpllVTXU6w
-
-
A5: I think mostly they don't get how we can't leave it in our class. Weekends, summer holidays, we are always thinking about Ss
-
Tonight’s topic was suggested by YOU, ! Please stop by our website to suggest topics for upcoming chats: https://t.co/apNWRbIjSj
-
Wait, we are still drafting? Okay, I'm going big league with drafting
-
A5 go to professional development on saturdays
-
creates opportunity to have real, open convos with parents, guardians...
-
-
I have Irelands first and only Primary School STEAM Room.Causing huge interest from afar
-
such a great point! I often find parents expect things to be like it was when they were students.
-
I often see educators talk about this yet hardly see it practiced unfortunately.
-
I will take another Craig with my 5th pick
-
Still wanting Olwen, Nathan and Victoria on my tweep team!
-
-
Can you share a bit more on this? A blog? Photo journal? Very curious! https://t.co/KaV5SGwGWC
-
-
I have Irelands first and only Primary School STEAM Room.Causing huge interest from afar
-
Did you already take ? If not, he's my next pick!
-
A5 actually like being around kids
-
Excuse me, Nathan?!?!?!?!?!?!
-
agreed! Play time allows for connections, social resp, leadership. We do it in my 5/6
-
Awesome. Love to hear more on this.
-
Q6 is on the way from !
psssst. We're trending #3 right now!
-
I just said that too. So true, so much time and dedication spent to improve lessons
-
found it great to regularly bring free time into the gym - very explorative students!
-
I did but we could do a trade for a tweep and 4th and 7th round picks
-
AND I want Kory on my team! & Rik!
-
Sure! I'm happy with 5th!
-
I draft Kory with my next pick
-
Q6: Aside from dressing up, pumpkins and trick/treating, how do you go deeper in learning using Halloween?
-
-
Will send a link tomorrow
-
-
May the force be with you tomorrow...well, except in his case may the neutron wand B your freind https://t.co/FzFHRdiNUf
-
A6: I think Halloween helps with that understanding of fear and showing resilience.
-
Right? Everytime I see something relevant, I buy it or save it to a folder for later. House + hard drive are full
-
A6: I don't utilize it as a learning theme other than some historical settings sometimes. Prefer Christmas for themed problems.
-
Not much has changed. When I go to my dentist, they're practicing something new. Edu. still archaic.
-
-
Tying a spooky story to a standard so we can have fun with it and still practice a skill https://t.co/BEwaqjfjzs
-
-
Q6: Aside from dressing up, pumpkins and trick/treating, how do you go deeper in learning using Halloween?
-
A6 Truth. I don't go deeper. They're so excited about Halloween it's hard for them to think of anything else.
-
Funny!! I've been heard saying: Don't lick the walls & stop sniffing your friends
-
will Trade Kory for a bag of pucks
-
-
-
A6 That being said, it has TOTALLY motivated them to write when I tell them the topic is Halloween. https://t.co/rvJx0NNyPH
-
-
A6 Truth. I don't go deeper. They're so excited about Halloween it's hard for them to think of anything else.
-
A5: we really, really, really want to connect with, learn from + help our kiddos become the best they can be
-
A6 during my library time I like tricking in thinking about "identity" (tied in nicely w Orange Shirt Day)
-
Sometimes things don't move along as quickly as we would like, but I think the classroom is totally different
-
That is awesome! A W E S O M E.
-
-
A6 great for day of the dead activities and learning th moves to Thriller
-
-
Bingo! Just let it be about that. It's a fun day. Monster Mash on repeat.
-
In reference to Q6, this would be a good way to explore cultural sensitivities.
-
A6: ghost math! Using a ghost as an unknown in an equation 👻 My Ss loved this type of question: 5+👻 = 6+6. Find the ghost!!
-
-
Nice point we read "the widows broom" by van allsburg to talk about "scary" https://t.co/GWNoalhwHA
-
-
A6: I think Halloween helps with that understanding of fear and showing resilience.
-
Awesome....Let's do the mash.......reminds me of the
-
I'm wondering if there is a way to do a Thriller dance.
-
so true-it's a day that gives others permission 2 have fun...wish we had more days like Halloween 4 that reason alone
-
A6: mostly a gong-show espec with the creepy clown factor this year, but will try descriptive writing for our "fashion show"
-
that may actually be an interesting bonus station "if time permits" tomorrow afternoon!!
-
A6: Examine Middle Ages tombstones as primary sources for Socials 8
-
perhaps we could send out portion of dance to everyone interested & then connect together.
-
I taught story writing in October that led up to Halloween. So much creativity and possibilities
-
Don’t forget to use the hashtag throughout the week to keep the conversation going!
-
-
Love that. Or with rubbings, if possible.
-
Don't go there, I'm still shuddering from the bunny outfit. Don't need to think of in Rocky Horror outfit!
-
Yes! Wouldn't go to a Dr practicing like it was the1930s, why let Ss go to a school that still is?
-
there's also sometimes "safety" in being "a costume" rather than person (sometimes unsafe risks too)
-
Remember that Q8 will ask you to share an unexplained event (could be "paranormal") that you've experienced! One more Q to go!
-
I love it! Let me check my photos....nope, nothing, sorry.
-
Been marathoning tree house of horror episode all month. My fav!
-
Q7: How do you structure your teaching on the day (or two) after Halloween?
-
had a primary teacher take her class to the graveyard...was amazing.
-
Yes! Wouldn't go to a Dr practicing like it was the1900s, why let Ss go to a school that still is?
-
That could be fun! Fashion show descriptors for the runway of costumes . . . watch for disrepect. Need to be +ve
-
A5. Agreed. Nothing but shop talk. Is there anything else? https://t.co/rkOVuHIylK
-
-
A5: my non-teacher friends feel very annoyed when surrounded by teachers. ALL THE ED. TALK. Even (especially) on Friday nights
-
Mine, too! I can watch those episodes for ever!
-
hmmm checking my photos. Yep yep yep and not sharing 😜 (but got good legs)
-
-
YES!!! Could we skype our assemblies all together?! (next year)
-
People preparing for Halloween is great. But how do you survive the day AFTER Halloween?
-
I know you have the legs for it!
-
-
A7 We don't do ANYTHING NEW the day after.
-
that's an intriguing idea....
-
I challenge everyone to tweet a pic of their costume tomorrow and use hashtag. Right,
-
A7: try to stick to routines as much as possible. Maintains calm on an exciting day
-
Yup, it's an old standby. Students write their own description, I crank fashion show tunes. We strut then eat candy.
-
Good point, Julianne. November 1st is crazy sugar low/high.
-
-
I am thinking you and I are having a different school experience?
-
I don't think so...family of teachers too!
-
SRSLY! Let's do it next year!
-
-
-
-
-
-
Could extend it to comedy skit writeups of things that might go wrong. Then newspaper articles of the event tragedy
-
-
Someone look into a "Elf Yourself" but with a Thriller theme!
-
A7 lots of movement activities
-
Love this! https://t.co/pputSRcITq
-
-
A6: dig into each others' cultural Fall celebrations. Teach acceptance of differences, we are a globally rich tapestry.
-
Can't control many things in education, but we can control lots of things- work hard for our students.
-
Q8 is on the way! Get ready to share!
-
A7: My Christmas music starts tomorrow!
-
-
-
Nov. 1st. "Div. 4's terrible sugar crash"
-
Q8: Here’s our final Q! Describe a strange or unexplainable (ie. “paranormal”) event you’ve experienced in your life!
-
A8 Texted my teacher neighbour yesterday to borrow some black paper AND she was making the same costume as me.
-
A7: I pray and avoid group work at all costs! Lol! Consistent independent work for my teenagers
-
A6. A good opportunity to dig into the imagination... hey
A7. A restful day.
-
Followed by human interest story on Ss deciding to clean up the environment by picking up all the wrappers
-
now you are going big time
-
A8 The first school I ever subbed at was the school I ended up getting my continuing contract at. My district has 110 schools...
-
-
A8 Whenever my best friend pops into my thoughts, she calls or texts me.
-
A8 When I drive / walk past certain street lights, a whole line of them will go out.
-
Yes! I use Dr example w/ parents who complain about changes in edu- want kids in rows + memorizing dates
