My name is Kristin and I'm grateful to be steering the ship tonight. I have never hiked on the AT, but I am in awe of anyone who has! I have however, had the pleasure of giving out some Trail Magic! #scitlap

Hey #scitlap - not sure who's hosting, but I'm not going to make it tonight. Just finished up a crazy #122edchat, and I've got a killer migraine. Wednesdays are tough. Gotta tap out for this one. Love you guys!

A quick geography lesson....the Appalachian Trail is located in the eastern United States and runs from Georgia to Maine! #scitlap

Last summer my family and I joined my husband's trail running group in CT to meet up and give Trail Magic to thru-hikers on the AT! Now let's get to some questions.... #scitlap

karlacalbear Jan 17 @ 9:34 PM EST

A5 I send a cute email to Ss with appropriate bitmoji (except that one time 🤣), send parents a text giving kids kudos, tweet something from class acct. I used to give them morning donuts. Now with new rules just an awesome party 2x a year. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jan 17 @ 9:36 PM EST

A5 I reward myself with PD books, iced-coffee, and chocolate. Reward Ss with praise and fun activities. #scitlap

I still do candy. Ss can spend their AP (mana) to get candy if they have the ability or card. Candy is far less the motivator tho. #scitlap

I guess if 80% or more students complete you don't have to make the day up. And they get 7 days to do it. This is in a friends district. Definitely interesting? #scitlap

In reply to @pentaclethra, @legendlearning, @classcraftgame

Snow days not an issue but we schools days with limitations: yellow/orange/red air days (degrees of staying in sometimes all day), delayed start due to fog, & sometimes high wind. Luckily we can push work out via Showbie, Team website akers7 or via student Gmail. #scitlap

pentaclethra Jan 17 @ 9:45 PM EST

Considering I don't get 80% completion of HW on a regular day I don't think it is an option for me. That and how cruel! Let the kids play in the snow! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Jan 17 @ 9:46 PM EST

A7 For some kids the journey is easy. They are prepared, they have support, they thrive. Others might only have our daily class trail magic to keep them going, so I guess making sure they have those important moments is key. #scitlap
