    B-5: I am a Zumba-fanatic, so I take care of myself thru the yr w/ many hours of crazy dancing, time w/friends, & coffee. #6thchat
  • pjcerullo Dec 6 @ 9:07 PM EST
    B-2 My advice would be to jump in head first. I kept it on the backburner for half a year and finally jumped in and it worked! #6thchat
  • SamReisman93 Dec 6 @ 9:08 PM EST

  • thedevineone Dec 6 @ 9:09 PM EST
    N4 I'm a fan of sketchnoting. I give it as an option for rd. aloud. I think it's powerful to use in the content areas as well. #6thchat
  • mrskochheiser - Moderator Dec 6 @ 9:10 PM EST
    If you have decided to complete one ROW, COLUMN or DIAG., then tweet BINGO #6thchat after responding to the 5th! Of course, you get 3 Qs!
