Good morning Tracy from MA here at the start of my last week of school. Where has June gone?
Good morning my friends! Hope you enjoyed a great Father's Day weekend!
Baby steps, man, baby steps! ;)
Happy first day of summer, Friends! Last of the school year. Playing with in NJ. How are you today?
Good morning, ! Chantell from IN. Last full week of work before a July break!
Let's by reminding ourselves of our many blessings from this school year...including our time together! 😊
Hey everyone! I missed last week - struggled to get up at 5:30 💤 Excited to be here this morning
I hope my Ss continue to be curious and get outside to explore!
For those of you praying types -please help me out.I've got another interview today at a local public school for 7th/8th humanitieis
Good Morning Alice from Nantucket, Ma checking in. Hoping to start my final week on a high note!
My children end tomorrow, I am in until Wednesday...you?
I know the feeling! The last few weeks are so hard; so much to do!
that's awesome! ...I have two more weeks! Almost there :)
Good Morning ! Here's a new blog post of mine from yesterday on the connections we make with Ss each year https://t.co/mmeWF5zPXi
I hope that students learn about the importance of physical activity, enjoy the outdoors, and celebrate summer!
Sending positive vibes your way.
Hey There Chantell -- Are you finishing strong?
Yes! It's been leaving me exhausted :/
Good morning! Hope all you Dads out there had a great Fathers Day!
We are glad to have you Rashida!
I hope Ss of all ages play like crazy this summer, then realize all the new things they have learned! Get outside, dirty, creative!
I'm with you for two more weeks! 😊
Over the summer I hope Ss continue to read and have lots of creative play. My daughters love the app musically
This summer I hope Ss watch the Democratic/Republican Conventions and understand our political system of gov is more than 2 nominees
Friday for both here. Then I'll keep going in to organize & pack. Changing rooms next year.
I also hope Ss get a chance to visit some cool sites. I live in Northern VA - lots of free museums and resources
I hope my students continue to enjoy the love of reading that I've tried to instill in them this school year. (Tough sell for some!)
I hope all students learn to get outside and enjoy nature.
Summer wish for Ss: I hope they discover reading for pleasure. Indoor and outdoor activity.
Good morning friends. Wish I was going to see you 😥
As soon to be freshmen, I hope my Ss learn a little more about being true to who they are & learn to love themselves
Agreed! Oh to to be able to teach during the conventions. It'd be like teaching on CRACK!
Changing rooms is such a struggle, but also great opportunity to de-clutter and be really organized!
I like to call it "My 8 week weekend." Almost there!
The struggle is real! On my 2nd cup of decaf (pregnant) and hoping the Jedi mind tricks kick in! Feel the "caffeine"!
My Ss are Ts so I hope they learn ways to find and inspire themselves to take risks in 16-17
I agree. Does you school have a good summer read?
I'm excited. Since I moved schools last year and inherited a bunch of stuff, it'll be a big job but worth it!
My Ss are Ts too ...I hope that they actually take a break.They work so hard & even over the summer some are still going
well, Mary Lou ... congratulations on your 'promotion'...
graduation was my fave part of being a HS teacher! To see them walk across the stage was magical!
believe it or not, we don't have a summer reading list. 😢 https://t.co/XnqxfbCO2N
I agree. Does you school have a good summer read?
I just read House Arrest by last week. Great read!
Happy to be back at chats 😄
congrats! You're in the home stretch!
Thanks for the rec. Always looking for new titles.
Have a great day everyone!
Some of my kiddos will be going to camp for the first time this summer!! I hope they all have lots of fun ☀️🌼🌸
Right on! There's so many good books to read! One or two over the summer can't hurt!
Wishing you all an awesome Monday! Our Ts and Ss need us in this final stretch - be great today ☺️
Summer learning goal? Ss will apply critical thinking skills to practical problems of self and community.
The kids have worked so hard this year- just take a break, and relax with family and friends 😎☀️
Heading out for an exciting day at the Summer Solstice festival and Pow Wow Competition!! Very exciting!!
I say almost every day, "I'm a reader who reads!" hoping that will rub off on my kids.
. I had a great time participating in this year! I've been off work since June 1 & have missed this chat.
Now I need to go back through chats and links I stored away from this spring. You guys are a great resource! https://t.co/tiOcKAkJpp
Let's by reminding ourselves of our many blessings from this school year...including our time together! 😊
I'm all for summer reading; it's the major projects & homework that go with it that bring me down.
Have a great ! I'll be celebrating w/ my Ss in the 6th grade Scavenger Hunt.
. Good morning friends! It's been a while and I know I'm late to the chat. Is this the last one?
So true!!! But first, we must finish 2015-2016 strong! https://t.co/2MxA98B05P
I like to call it "My 8 week weekend." Almost there!
My Summer Learning page https://t.co/u9v5MfCgwE Hope all students are constant learners wherever they are & whatever they are doing
Good morning, Hope my Ss find they enjoy learning & reading during summer. Saw some @ public library last week; was joyful reunion!
I hope my students learn that it is OK to continue to try and everything won't work the first time, but keep going anyway.
This summer may students learn to imagine, daydream and think of the impossible becoming possible
Sending lots of positive energy your way! Good luck and keep us posted!! https://t.co/SSRZU9f7Sz
For those of you praying types -please help me out.I've got another interview today at a local public school for 7th/8th humanitieis
I agree! I hope my students take risks and try something new!
How do you motivate your students to read over the summer? I love new ideas!
I want my students to read over the summer and learn that reading to a way to imagine and explore. Reading can take you places.
Good morning Sandy here from sunny Utah- 5th grade teacher
Reading is the most important skill students should work on over the summer!
Missouri- 4th grade Teacher
I have my kids connected via and give virtual badges/continue conversations
In our first grade classroom we created a Summer reading list of books. Ss have it as a staring point.
Great to meet you Emily! Are you connected w these amazing 4th grade Ts?
No! But thank you for sharing!! This is my first
Agree! Stundent need time to relax and refresh over the summer.
What are your thoughts on summer homework packets? I know a few teachers who send those home!
Optional summer packets are fine. I'm not a big fan of homework in the primary grades. Read, Read, Read.
Play is a natural form of learning and very powerful. Hiking and outside games are the best in summer!
I agree!! Students should be taking risk and trying new things!
Hope my Ss learn to appreciate nature. 🐞🐬🌿🌻🌎🌝🌩🌊😎
This is a great resource! Thanks for sharing
I agree. Spend more time outside!
I hope my Ss see things & think, "that reminds me of something from math class!" Make authentic connections. https://t.co/DQfwhkPRE6
best of luck with the interview! Fingers crossed 👏🏻
I hope my students learn that a book can take you on an adventure even if you don't go away on vacation.
I hope they are getting a chance to learn about something they are passionate about.
I'd love them to see and appreciate the ubiquity and humor of mathematics in an everyday moment
thanks for the introduction Sandy!
Good morning my friends. I hope the summer is being good to you! I hope my Ss learn to play & enjoy the moment this summer
I hope Ss find something in nature that causes them to think and wonder. "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin"Shakespeare
I hope my students continue to read and blog for fun this summer. Maybe visit some great places and experience learning
It would be cool too to see Ss start to use social media differently on their own. Start surveying spaces and curate as they go
-that reading can be enjoyable, books can take you to a whole new place, & they can't wait to check out a new one! 📚
