  Q1: First Holiday word: JOY! How do you ensure Ss experience JOY in your classroom? #IDedchat
WinkelerD Dec 19 @ 10:08 PM EST

A1: I try and build relationships with Ss that spread beyond the curriculum and daily class time. #IDedchat
WinkelerD Dec 19 @ 10:08 PM EST

Same to you. How are things? #IDedchat

LCHS_Bio Dec 19 @ 10:08 PM EST

R1: I try to create opportunities for my Ss to struggle a little and also the opportunity for them to achieve. When they have struggled and then have success, the light they experience is empowering. #IDedchat
averyteach - Moderator Dec 19 @ 10:09 PM EST

They are good - ready for a break - but going to use it to get refocused/rejuvenated! #IDedchat

A1: I try and celebrate the little victories in the classroom. Allows them to build the confidence and become better participators in class #IDedchat

Q2: What brings you Joy, or what are you Joyful for? #IDedchat
SaraHolm15 Dec 19 @ 10:11 PM EST

A1 I try to laugh with my kids every day. If my former self would get frustrated with lots of chatting and wiggling, my working-on-myself me suggests a silly dance (often @GoNoodle) or quick game with rhyming or call & response. #idedchat
averyteach - Moderator Dec 19 @ 10:12 PM EST

A2: Music - listening to ... participating in... good music! I get the opportunity to sing every Sunday - it brings me joy to share and serve with my voice. #IDedchat
averyteach - Moderator Dec 19 @ 10:13 PM EST

Laughter - a wonderful outward expression of inward JOY! #IDedchat
In reply to @SaraHolm15, @GoNoodle
LCHS_Bio Dec 19 @ 10:13 PM EST

R2: I have joy at school when former students come and visit. One of my former students @PikeHighSchool who is now a student @LCHSBears came in today. He makes the best cookies and brought me one. Another current student came in today just to say hi. #IDedchat
WinkelerD Dec 19 @ 10:14 PM EST

A2: There are many things that bring me joy. My family, friends, being a teacher, my PLN. #IDedchat
WinkelerD Dec 19 @ 10:15 PM EST

Can't go wrong with a good song. So glad for HD radio...NO commercials! #IDedchat

A2: We experienced JOY today at our District Office - watching a student graduate. The JOY on the faces of his family members and teachers who supported him were priceless! @steelheadstan #IDedchat
WinkelerD Dec 19 @ 10:15 PM EST

I have had the pleasure of a former student coming to observe me as she is a preservice teacher. So wonderful! #IDedchat

I love listening in on my kids' conversations & hearing their funny perceptions, their sincere wonderings & how they stretch the truth on stories about themselves. I also love christmas carols, reading ya novels, rewatching To All the Boys I've Loved & Crazy Rich Asians #idedchat

averyteach - Moderator Dec 19 @ 10:17 PM EST

A2: I also experienced JOY today listening to 4th graders asking an astronomer Qs about what she does, what she has discovered, if she thinks there is life beyond earth.. etc. #IDedchat
averyteach - Moderator Dec 19 @ 10:18 PM EST

Q3: Our 2nd word: PEACE. What brings you peace - either personally or professionally or both? #IDedchat
slwindisch Dec 19 @ 10:19 PM EST

A3: Quiet does. For real. #IDedchat
In reply to @averyteach
averyteach - Moderator Dec 19 @ 10:20 PM EST

I would agree with you. FInding that Quiet can be difficult - but glorious! #IDedchat

I truly enjoy my car ride home for this very reason. #IDedchat

averyteach - Moderator Dec 19 @ 10:21 PM EST

A3: I find peace when my family is content... #IDedchat
WinkelerD Dec 19 @ 10:21 PM EST

A3: A quiet moment, a Jacob laugh, a warm hug, a student coming back to say hi, reading a book when I can, being on twitter, general family time. #IDedchat
LCHS_Bio Dec 19 @ 10:21 PM EST

R3: I was driving to school today listening to 80s on 8 on @SIRIUSXM. Then tonight listened to XM Fly. Just songs that put me in a good mood. Too bad I had a headache tonight or would have been loud. #IDedchat
WinkelerD Dec 19 @ 10:22 PM EST

Sirius and HD radio has made lives so much easier. More music, less talking. #IDedchat
In reply to @LCHS_Bio, @SIRIUSXM
averyteach - Moderator Dec 19 @ 10:23 PM EST

A3: I also find peace when I am outside. I discovered this when we started kayaking this summer. #IDedchat
LCHS_Bio Dec 19 @ 10:23 PM EST

R3: a big smile from my 8 yr old when I pick her up from school. A hi from my 13 yr old. My wife telling me stories about her day. #IDedchat
LCHS_Bio Dec 19 @ 10:24 PM EST

I admit I listen to @CNN on @SIRIUSXM most of the time. But today I needed a little jumpstart. #IDedchat
In reply to @WinkelerD, @SIRIUSXM, @CNN, @SIRIUSXM
WinkelerD Dec 19 @ 10:25 PM EST

A3: Not sure anything tops my day when I walk into daycare and pick Jacob up. The way he just lights up is just awesome. #IDedchat
averyteach - Moderator Dec 19 @ 10:25 PM EST

Q4: Our final word(s) tonight: Rejoice; Celebrate; Triumphant. How do you celebrate during this season (either with students or your family or both). #IDedchat
WinkelerD Dec 19 @ 10:26 PM EST

now THAT would put me to sleep. I need some jams to sign to in the morning. #IDedchat
In reply to @LCHS_Bio, @SIRIUSXM, @CNN
WinkelerD Dec 19 @ 10:27 PM EST

A4: I celebrated graduation. Can't wait to celebrate Jacob's second Christmas. #IDedchat

Is your baby a year old already? Or, is this a different child? #IDedchat
In reply to @WinkelerD
WinkelerD Dec 19 @ 10:28 PM EST

You can stream it online at least. Or from their app I think. #IDedchat

R4: I am rejoicing that we have one more day before break. I am glad I only have one class of tests that I need to grade still. By this time tomorrow, all grades will be done. #IDedchat
averyteach - Moderator Dec 19 @ 10:29 PM EST

A4: Celebrate all the little things - little celebrations of milestones can lead to big things! #IDedchat
WinkelerD Dec 19 @ 10:29 PM EST

We go until Friday. We started some finals, but I know I have quite a bit of grading ahead of me these next two days. #IDedchat
In reply to @LCHS_Bio
averyteach - Moderator Dec 19 @ 10:29 PM EST

That doesn't even seem possible - time truly does fly. My Jacob will be 17 in just a little over 3 weeks! #IDedchat

LCHS_Bio Dec 19 @ 10:30 PM EST

When I lived north of StL, 103.3 was KHTR. It was a great station with modern music and little talk. #IDedchat
In reply to @WinkelerD, @SIRIUSXM, @CNN
LCHS_Bio Dec 19 @ 10:33 PM EST

You will get it all done. We have to go Friday (faculty), but I want to prepare for second semester. I’m teaching 2 physics, 1 AP Physics, 2 bio, and 1 bio loop for kids who need to get semester 1 credit and to get them near completion for sem 2 #IDedchat
