Bonjour à nos collègues d'enseignement du français!
-
It has an "ebb and flow" to it! It took me a YEAR before I really "got it"!
-
I have to look up every single place! My English geography is so bad!!!
-
It's remembering to add the hashtag! And also trying to follow the idividual conversation threads lol
-
Can't be worse than my Geography! We are about as far from the sea as you can get in the UK
-
Yes!! Try using "tweetchat"! It makes it sooooo much easier!!
-
haaaa that's a great description!! I am in "New" Jersey so I'm about an hour away from the ocean!
-
To be fair.... the nearest for us is about 90 ins away lol. but still the furthest point!
-
I hated geography at school so I'm not good at places either!
-
-
i need to play more of the children's geography board games!
-
It's a free "plug in" type of app! Google "tweetchat" and click through the steps! Easy!
-
haa! True! I LOVE geography but I have to keep looking at maps otherwise I start to forget!
-
i will have a look and see what i can find
-
So tonight is a red topic: "Reflections": Let's hear your reflections on your year and what you want to add to or do next!
-
Yes! Wow! I just looked and this starts our last rotation for the school year!
-
-
Love that new view Lyndsey!!
-
Need recommendations for great Ts to follow for new teacher on Twitter. Thanks!
-
I know UK goes so much longer than NAmerica but always good to look forward/back! US schools already winding down!
-
ok I really enjoyed the start of the year as I was outside loads but haven't had that recently.
-
-
These chats and my studying have helped me understand the importance of child led play. I want to keep getting better at role
-
You are year round is that right?
-
It's such a dance! I feel in some ways I was better 4 years ago and then sometimes I think- no! It's such a process!
-
Keep reflection at the forefront of teaching is so key! Is why these chats really accelerate learning and practice!
-
-
I also have loved doing more reflecting on practice and then learning from it
-
yeah apart from my glorious two weeks at Christmas! I'm on holiday next week though yay!
-
Oh that's wonderful!! So glad you get some down time!!
-
yes I agree it helps you see the bigger picture of most situations too.

"The median wage for all child care workers didn’t reach $15.00 per hour in a single state. " https://t.co/YaTdkTIYfW

-
It has been cold and wet here (more than usual spring!) so I've been thinking of you over there!!!

You must have had our weather and us yours!!

So what was new in your room this year that you liked and will be sure to do or expand on next year?
-
For me, it is most certainly our daily walk!! Also plans to expand- this is directly from YOU UK educators... our MUD Kitchen!
-
definitely, I finished my degree a few weeks before babies arrived. I'm hoping it all comes back quickly :)
-
Are you back teaching or still on (leave? maternity? what do they say there?!) :)
-
we have a much better writing area this year which children have really enjoyed def want to extend this!
-
Hi friends, would you help a preschool class by pinning photos of water all around the world on a map ? https://t.co/OVRt2LDjy4
-
That's why those "list and label" books are so key to reading
-
Great!! What did you add to improve?
-
easing myself back in gently with cover work atm. What age group are you with?
-
Yes!! How do I pin? Trying to figure!
-
I am w 5 and 6 year olds! Moving to larger ages next year! 4yrs-10yrs! :)

I will try to translate my tutorial but it's really simple. In the description area you have to put this {{url}}
-
I also want to add small journals they can take on their walks to study, draw in and record findings-
-
I think I've got it!! I will do with my class tomorrow?!
-
I added where I am now but the children should add? Or doesn't matter?
