Chad Rodgers, principal at MVJS, & tonight's primary kid-tucker-inner...wonder why? #MVeLearn

@RodgersChad Because it's your turn? #MVeLearn

#MVeLearn Welcome, Mary!

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:04 PM EDT

We will be using the Q1 & R1 format. Be sure to include the #MVeLearn hashtag!

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:05 PM EDT

#MVeLearn Q1: Student growth is a common goal for all of us. Do you find that students regress over the summer months? #MVeLearn

#MVeLearn Q1: Student growth is a common goal for all of us. Do you find that students regress over the summer months? #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:06 PM EDT

R1: They certainly get rusty and out of the habit of study! #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:06 PM EDT

R1. Almost always. Gaps from a lack of challenges in the summer. A lot of it is the basics that are forgotten. #MVeLearn

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:06 PM EDT

R1: I think that they do, especially if they don't read! #mvelearn #summerreading

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:07 PM EDT

So true. Every child needs a library card in the summer! #MVeLearn https://t.co/HCkjgXRS33

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:06 PM EDT

R1: I think that they do, especially if they don't read! #mvelearn #summerreading

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@feagley4 That's the truth. You would think their best reading would be in the summer...under a big oak tree! #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:08 PM EDT

You're right, Mary. Reading is critical to ward off regression. #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Or by the pool...#MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:08 PM EDT

#MVeLearn or in the pool!

RodgersChad May 11 @ 9:08 PM EDT

R1 A different take. I felt that the 1st 2 wks getting them back in the groove were better than the entire month of May...thoughts #MVeLearn

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@rodgers_cammy We make a habit of visiting different branches of @EVPLInfo to participate in their programs! #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@feagley4 Great idea! Gets them going! Awesome! #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@RodgersChad They are more willing to work and show what they know. Most are ready for school! #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:09 PM EDT

#MVeLearn Students, parents, and teachers are usually more fired up at the beginning. I agree, Chad!

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@williamastein Mr. Bill.....OH NOoooo! #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Q2: As students enter your classroom in August, do their academic levels meet your expectations? #MVeLearn

williamastein May 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@BethJohns_ I am your father lol... #MVeLearn

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@BethJohns_ @RodgersChad More opportunities for P involvement in the beginning! Wish we did more with P at HS level #MVeLearn

RodgersChad May 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@rodgers_cammy Found that work ethic, drive, attitude & enthusiasm really lacked in the end. The honeymoon was the beginning #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT

I thought that at the JH level too when I was there. #MVeLearn https://t.co/MMnhtodobx

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@BethJohns_ @RodgersChad More opportunities for P involvement in the beginning! Wish we did more with P at HS level #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT

#MVeLearn That (academic levels) is a hot topic for teachers in August.

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Which means we make a passionate beginning and never let up from there! #tlap #MVeLearn https://t.co/sCFB3OwgE5

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

I see areas a lot of times that could be refreshed before they return in Aug. #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

#MVeLearn We need to work at a passionate ending. How?

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

I have my kids write their own children's book using the things they have learned (theme, setting,e tc.) throughout the year. #MVeLearn

RodgersChad May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@BethJohns_ Million $question.Finals help some, but not the answer.ISTEP has NOT helped. After that wave,Ts &Ss are tough. #Carrot #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

How about this @BethJohns_ #MVeLearn https://t.co/3cIGXHNoxO

AllysonApsey May 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

We did "homework" where Ss shared passion in whatever format they chose, gr8 for relationship building and Ss & parents loved it #ohedchat

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

R2: Outside of doing a lot of diag testing, I'm never sure where they are in the beg #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#MVeLearn Those are great ideas. Maybe they could help the last two weeks.

RodgersChad May 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@BethJohns_ I did fun labs, projects, etc. Gave Ss choice of topics or chapters we didn't get to. This worked in lower classes #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q3: Is there a way to keep the learning ALIVE over the summer? #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@feagley4 I think we all feel that way. #MVeLearn

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@RodgersChad @BethJohns_ I usually do a class Scrabble tournament. Bracket and all...#MVeLearn

RodgersChad May 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

R3 looking for sooo many ways to incorporate enrichment while teaching standards.At PU we had Super Saturdays,why not 1 day a week #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

R3: It would be cool to blog or chat with Ss over the summer. Maybe talk about what they are reading? #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

R3. Encourage parents to take their students to "free" learning opportunities at least once a week. #MVeLearn

RodgersChad May 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Oooooh, love this. #MVeLearn https://t.co/PCuUUlgZd0

@feagley4 We did a checkers tournament before Christmas. #MVeLearn

RodgersChad May 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@BethJohns_ Careful, gonna drag you in w/ me as I tackle that in June ;) #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@RodgersChad Looking forward to those blog posts! #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT

#MVeLearn Most don't realize how much kids love board games.

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@BethJohns_ I haven't tried Blogging. Yikes! #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT

#MVeLearn Been there ... done that... Chad! ;-) https://t.co/RXxAmEQWJD

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT

R3: I've thought about with email and social media @mvshsmtvernon that there is no reason I can't check in with Ss. #helloitsme #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Q4: Do you feel parents would be receptive to ideas, websites, resources to use with students over the summer? #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

#MVeLearn That's so true. You could "Blog" with Ss over the summer. That would shorten the "Get to know you." https://t.co/zr5koBniYd

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT

R3: I've thought about with email and social media @mvshsmtvernon that there is no reason I can't check in with Ss. #helloitsme #MVeLearn

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@BethJohns_ I was talking about Bridge one day and Ss thought I meant a bridge! They don't know cards either. #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

R4: Most Ps want to help. I think we need to give them more opportunities to do just that. YES, receptive! #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@risky4 Maybe they would blog with their children?! Get to know the teacher... #MVeLearn

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

R4: Can I play devil's advocate and say I'm not sure? Maybe something monthly...def online #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

R4 I think parents want help their students maintain their knowledge during the summer. They just need some ideas of what to do. #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@rodgers_cammy Wouldn't that be unique? #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@risky4 Yes it would! Different dynamics created? #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@feagley4 What about those with limited access? #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Q5: Would parents be more receptive to paper/pencil vs technology? Ss preference? #MVeLearn

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@rodgers_cammy #MVeLearn Get them in the library! 😎

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@feagley4 So true! Love it! #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

#MVeLearn R5 Yes, the library should be an important part of summertime.

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Love the pre-heat! Good one! #MVeLearn https://t.co/dbKYes6VRI

Partain_Science May 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@PWebb30 @daleyscience It's a Dave-ism.... Getting kids ready/excited/heated up for whatever is to come #scitlap @burgessdave

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

R5. Depends on their access to tech...Ss probably technology. My own son said they asked today if they could keep their iPads. #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

R5: A variety would be good. Clean out the extra worksheets from the school year, but make list of online resources too #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT

#MVeLearn R5 Variety is reality at school. Ss must be able to show what they know via pencil/paper and on technology.

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT

R5. Had a P last year ask for math pract for summer for struggling S. Sent home a pack of extras. #MVeLearn

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@risky4 R5: Not HS, but we buy the Summer Bridge books every summer for my daughter. She loves them. Maybe make available? #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@BethJohns_ Absolutely! Connected 21st Century Leaders and Learners! That goes for us too! #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

#MVeLearn R5 Some Ss might not have access to technology over the summer, though.

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@feagley4 We can buy those at Farmersville (Bridge books). #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

#MVeLearn Great Idea! We took orders from interested parents. The books just arrived today. https://t.co/to28bbulm6

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@risky4 R5: Not HS, but we buy the Summer Bridge books every summer for my daughter. She loves them. Maybe make available? #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Q6: Have you sent students away for the summer with ideas and resources to promote learning? Share some? All Ss or targeted? #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT

R5: I remember one of my Ts gave each student a new book to read over the summer. That was such a great feeling....many moons ago! #MVeLearn

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@BethJohns_ Glad to hear! My youngest will be happy! #MVeLearn

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT

R6: #MVeLearn @Scholastic usually puts out a great summer reading list online to share

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT

#MVeLearn R6 It's always good to help a targeted group reach a goal, but all Ss need to keep moving forward.

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT

R6: sent targeted students home with packets strictly targeting reading skills. Lots of data for Ps to digest too. #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

#MVeLearn @feagley4 Is the Scholastic summer list posted yet?

rodgers_cammy - Moderator May 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@feagley4 I need to get the list for 6th grade to pass out and share a 5th grade list with the 4th grade who will be coming to me. #MVeLearn

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

R6: I've always encouraged my students to plan their summer family vacations! Lots of NF reading! #MVeLearn

RodgersChad May 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Reading all posts. I feel young Ss need reading 24/7. Older (HS) need prep work or front loading for specific classes maybe? #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

R6: @GRAMMARDOCTORS send 6th grade students home with a book to read before entering 7th! #MVeLearn

RodgersChad May 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT

tweets not posts...#oldman #MVeLearn

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT

#MVeLearn R6 Students could travel a lot of places with a good book and not leave their premises.

BethJohns_ - Moderator May 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

#MVeLearn Q7: Based on what your have given your Ss for summer, how much of a difference did it make for all -even one child? #MVeLearn

#MVeLearn Where have you been, Doc?

feagley4 May 11 @ 9:43 PM EDT

R7: When I see SS in summer or fall, they always want to report in to tell me what they've been reading! #MVeLearn #readingpolice

risky4 - Moderator May 11 @ 9:43 PM EDT

R7: Hard to judge if any difference was made, but Ps appreciated and I felt like I gave them a plan to make a difference. #MVeLearn

@rodgers_cammy That would be fun for the outgoing and incoming Ss.#MVeLearn

GRAMMARDOCTORS May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

#MVeLearn I accept that challenge. My four days in prison ministry and a week of preparing for my daughter's college graduation slowed me
