A1: I write in my #wonderjournal everyday and model that for my 11 yo. We talk about it, and I ask him SPECIFIC Qs about his day everyday. The Socratic method, if you will :) #wonderchat

A1 Another very simple strategy. Pause button. When something comes up & we say, "Huh . . . I don't know." Pause. Bust out devices. Find out. Celebrate the discovery of the answer AND/OR continued questions! #wonderchat

HERESY! Wait . . I . . er. . . I mean . . .YES! This! Be vulnerable. Say "I don't know and that's okay for now." Reduces Ss academic anxieties. #wonderchat
A4 Engage in the journey with them; pursue it alongside them when they start to struggle & its okay to do the "oh look what I found" airdrop #supportyourlocalkatniss#wonderchat
Power TRU-th. #WhatIf homework was the pursuit of ideas from class? the discovery & continued uncovering of knowledge? gather. synthesize. bring back to the fold. #wonderchat
