yankee_todd May 14 @ 10:48 AM EDT

A1: reflection - we must all look in a mirror & ask what worked & what didn't. #satchatwc https://t.co/1GSEt0krbZ

artFling May 14 @ 10:37 AM EDT

#satchatwc Q1 - What kind of thinking do you do at the end of your school year that prepares you for the next one?

EdLog411 May 14 @ 10:48 AM EDT

@BSchlacht good morning Bill. Welcome! #satchatwc

KristieLBurk May 14 @ 10:48 AM EDT

A2 first - I need to allow myself time for it; otherwise not worthwhile #satchatwc

artFling May 14 @ 10:48 AM EDT

@RunnerGirl13_1 Thanks for my first #satchatwc laugh this AM!

teresagross625 May 14 @ 10:49 AM EDT

kwhobbes May 14 @ 10:49 AM EDT

.@teresagross625 @artFling Ss & Pts provide great insights - need to listen - How do we create “pearls from their input”? #satchatwc

Purpleaces1995 May 14 @ 10:49 AM EDT

Just got back after a busy couple weeks! #Satchatwc A1: I also ask all Ss at the end which art projects they liked.

HartofLearning May 14 @ 10:50 AM EDT

Thanks @artFling for running #satchatwc this morning. Come talk about the end of the school year! It's almost here. Yippee!

artFling May 14 @ 10:50 AM EDT

@drmisabel12 I would love to know more about that. Do you have a link that explains it? #satchatwc

drmisabel12 May 14 @ 10:50 AM EDT

A2 1) establish curricular goals for next year based on departmental reflection (keep good notes) #satchatwc

BSchlacht May 14 @ 10:50 AM EDT

A2. I write out a card letter for each staff member talking about what they have done during the year. It takes time, 106 staff. #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 10:50 AM EDT

A2: It is just part of my instruction, always reflecting to move forward. #satchatwc

EdLog411 May 14 @ 10:50 AM EDT

A2. I start making a plan with action steps...otherwise the reflection doesn't lead to growth #satchatwc

KristieLBurk May 14 @ 10:50 AM EDT

@kwhobbes @teresagross625 @artFling look for common themes? #satchatwc

kwhobbes May 14 @ 10:50 AM EDT

A2 - #satchatwc - building it into a cycle of reflection & development - it’s about making it a habit & regular part of your own learning

artFling May 14 @ 10:50 AM EDT

@kwhobbes @teresagross625 Pearls from their input. Nice. I like it. #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 10:51 AM EDT

@BSchlacht That's lovely! #satchatwc

HartofLearning May 14 @ 10:51 AM EDT

A1: #satchatwc - I'm planning End-of the -year field trips, retirement and farewell parties. I'm already thinking ahead to next year a bit.

kwhobbes May 14 @ 10:51 AM EDT

.@EdLog411 it’s a community - people appreciate when you listen & demonstrate you care - you don’t have to always change things #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 10:51 AM EDT

@kwhobbes It is definitely a part of me. #satchatwc

artFling May 14 @ 10:51 AM EDT

@KristieLBurk How much time? And how relaxed do you need to be? I'm guessing after school staff meeting not best time for this. #satchatwc

BSchlacht May 14 @ 10:51 AM EDT

Un-cancelling this morning shows great leadership and dedication. Great job!!!! #satchatwc

KRScienceLady May 14 @ 10:52 AM EDT

artFling May 14 @ 10:53 AM EDT

@BSchlacht Thanks! #satchatwc I just wanted to have fun though.

Purpleaces1995 May 14 @ 10:53 AM EDT

A2: #satchatwc By allowing the Ss reflect which art projects they liked, allows for my own reflection on the year.

HartofLearning May 14 @ 10:53 AM EDT

A2: At the end of this year, I think I will gather the materials that went well to use for next year + think about improvements. #satchatwc

artFling May 14 @ 10:53 AM EDT

@KRScienceLady Good morning Kathy. #satchatwc

kwhobbes May 14 @ 10:53 AM EDT

.@artFling @teresagross625 as an admin - I tried to always see those “pearls” especially when I didn’t agree with someone #satchatwc -

KristieLBurk May 14 @ 10:53 AM EDT

@artFling good Q - maybe a half day or more?? #satchatwc

drangelapeery May 14 @ 10:53 AM EDT

@BSchlacht What a great idea - they surely treasure these notes! #satchatwc

BSchlacht May 14 @ 10:54 AM EDT

A2. Reflection is ongoing. Not just at year end. At year end we do global reflecting. #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:09 AM EDT

artFling May 14 @ 11:10 AM EDT

@KidsDeserveIt https://t.co/CuHeVYeGQk #satchatwc, here's my take on this one...

artFling May 14 @ 11:11 AM EDT

#satchatwc A4 - I'm encouraging Ts that these can be the best weeks of the year, so far.

artFling May 14 @ 11:11 AM EDT

@teresagross625 @kwhobbes @burgess_shelley @BethHouf I'm gonna do this this week. Thanks for the idea. #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:11 AM EDT

@artFling I agree! #satchatwc

HartofLearning May 14 @ 11:12 AM EDT

A4: Admins - Put some water in the fridge and hand it out to staff. As things get heated, it helps us cool down.@artFling #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:12 AM EDT

@artFling @kwhobbes @burgess_shelley @BethHouf I give them to Ss as well. They LOVE it! #satchatwc

artFling May 14 @ 11:12 AM EDT

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:13 AM EDT

Question #5 coming up in a moment..... @artFling #satchatwc

kwhobbes May 14 @ 11:13 AM EDT

.@teresagross625 @artFling @burgess_shelley @BethHouf a great idea - Ss need to know we’re there for them! #satchatwc

HartofLearning May 14 @ 11:13 AM EDT

A4: Remind Ts that Ss may get wound up this time of year, because summer may be time of uncertainty at home. School is safe. #satchatwc

SparkyTeaching May 14 @ 11:13 AM EDT

Thought for the day. #satchatwc https://t.co/EwjZgJDZ6E

artFling May 14 @ 11:14 AM EDT

@HartofLearning That sounds amazingly simple and so different that I bet it makes an impact. #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:14 AM EDT

@Purpleaces1995 That's nice. We have a spirit day while 8th graders on trip. #satchatwc

HartofLearning May 14 @ 11:15 AM EDT

A4: Plan thank you for volunteers and staff! Even a thank you email can brighten a day. #PBIS #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:15 AM EDT

@HartofLearning Which leads us to question #5...... #satchatwc

kwhobbes May 14 @ 11:15 AM EDT

.@artFling @HartofLearning leave chocolate on Ts desks with a “pick-you-up” like flavoured water or tea or coffee & note #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:16 AM EDT

Q#5: How do we encourage students at the end of the year? Keep them motivated, engaged and feeling cared for! #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:16 AM EDT

@HartofLearning It sure can! #satchatwc

artFling May 14 @ 11:16 AM EDT

@HartofLearning Right. Expect some energy. And plan for it. #satchatwc

PegGrafwallner May 14 @ 11:16 AM EDT

kwhobbes May 14 @ 11:16 AM EDT

A4 - As an admin, I always did a year-end BBQ for my staff - I cooked & provided them with opportunity to relax #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:17 AM EDT

A5: smiles, laughter, positive energy, patience.....patience......patience #satchatwc

kwhobbes May 14 @ 11:17 AM EDT

Sorry #satchatwc but I have a 6yrold who needs attention & has almost climbed into the chat! Have an awesome week & a great year end!

artFling May 14 @ 11:18 AM EDT

#satchatwc A5 - We slow down and have some real conversations where we ask questions and listen to the answer... That's one way.

HelenWilt May 14 @ 11:18 AM EDT

A5 We're competing in math contests on our chromebooks. https://t.co/geHPW2qK96 Fun and learning! #satchatwc

TheDisciplineDr May 14 @ 11:18 AM EDT

The end of the year can be tough. As my friend @bethhill2829 said, you have to do what you can to focus on one day at a time #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:18 AM EDT

@kwhobbes Nice! Will you be doing that this year and are we all invited? #satchatwc

kwhobbes May 14 @ 11:18 AM EDT

@Purpleaces1995 @artFling @HartofLearning ours does too but I do this on my own - to show my appreciation for all they do #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:18 AM EDT

A5: listen, listen, listen #satchatwc

tchnrfutr May 14 @ 11:19 AM EDT

Still sharing proud moments. This year after 19 yes of teaching I earned this #satchatwc https://t.co/wBIdRJXClg

BSchlacht May 14 @ 11:19 AM EDT

@teresagross625 Yes we need self control and a lot of patience at this time of year. #satchatwc

Purpleaces1995 May 14 @ 11:19 AM EDT

A5: Nearly all my projects are done, so it is St lead projects now. They are can just create and create what ever using whatever! #satchatwc

kwhobbes May 14 @ 11:20 AM EDT

@teresagross625 but if you make it this far north - I will definitely BBQ for you & show you some #saskedchat hospitality! #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:20 AM EDT

@Purpleaces1995 I have done that as well! Great time to "flip" our classrooms! LOL #satchatwc

EdLog411 May 14 @ 11:20 AM EDT

Take time out to play with students...helps you discover a lot about them (and yourself)...find joy #satchatwc https://t.co/hBcnZCImcK

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:16 AM EDT

Q#5: How do we encourage students at the end of the year? Keep them motivated, engaged and feeling cared for! #satchatwc

artFling May 14 @ 11:21 AM EDT

@TheDisciplineDr @bethhill2829 #satchatwc I love the one day at a time idea here. That's a much needed addition to the discussion.

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:21 AM EDT

@EdLog411 Yes. for sure! #satchatwc

Purpleaces1995 May 14 @ 11:21 AM EDT

#satchatwc - Final Q coming right up...

tchnrfutr May 14 @ 11:23 AM EDT

#satchatwc sorry meant drone curriculum

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:23 AM EDT

@Purpleaces1995 Wonderful! #satchatwc

TheDisciplineDr May 14 @ 11:23 AM EDT

Yes @artFling. Staying focused on one day at a time is just as important early in the year as it is late. #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:23 AM EDT

@HelenWilt Awesome! #satchatwc

txeduchat May 14 @ 11:23 AM EDT

HelenWilt May 14 @ 11:25 AM EDT

@HartofLearning @GetKahoot Ss love kahoot. Some are creating end of year reviews for our class #satchatwc

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:25 AM EDT

And the grand finale question......drum roll..... #satchatwc @artFling

artFling May 14 @ 11:25 AM EDT

@TheDisciplineDr #satchatwc No doubt. I think I just needed that reminder right now.

HartofLearning May 14 @ 11:25 AM EDT

A5: For Some students, it's important to continue the normal schedule as much as you can. Teach them next years standards. #satchatwc

speakingweek May 14 @ 11:26 AM EDT

No zombie speaking! https://t.co/5p0x1CjtzX https://t.co/z5GTJ4SeJv has ideas to avoid this. #satchatwc https://t.co/9SI65oIXM6

TheDisciplineDr May 14 @ 11:26 AM EDT

One of the worst things we can do is daydream too much about the coming weekend or vacation. Stay present. #satchatwc.

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:27 AM EDT

FQ: Fav joke, phrase, word that you will use this week to bring positive energy to school/classroom? #satchatwc @artFling

artFling May 14 @ 11:29 AM EDT

#satchatwc FA - I'm gonna use the word "fantastic" as much as I can. I want to convey a sense that Ss and Ts are and can be fantastic.

teresagross625 May 14 @ 11:29 AM EDT

When is our last day? I don't know! Still lots of time for learning left! #satchatwc
