Q1. Although the weather might not show it, Spring is upon us. How do you as an educator handle Spring Fever? #edprep
posickj - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:04 PM EDT
A1 Spring Fever is a state of mind. Keep expectations high, keep building relationships, and enjoy your time with the kids. #edprep

Q2. With the variance in weather, how do you avoid making excuses about the way a day goes? #edprep
posickj - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:14 PM EDT
A2 Weather varies all year long. You can't use it as an excuse. Your planning and procedures steer your day. #edprep

I wonder how it is in other states where harsh weather is the norm. We has little snow flurries and cancelled school #edprep
posickj - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Snow flurries mean more fun at recess. We need ice and bitter temps to cancel school. #edprep

We've only had a few snow or cold days in my 10 years in Merton. Rarely more than 2 days in a row. Tech would help now. #edprep

Q3. Spring Fever normally means the weather is getting warmer. How could you use an outdoor classroom? #edprep
erod129 - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:26 PM EDT
favorite: go out using scale factor and select geometric figures and chalk. Ss would draw with yard stick and calculate area. #edprep

A3 We have an outdoor classroom, go outdoors for recess, and have an outdoor garden. PE classes are outdoors, too. #edprep
