The #2PencilChat is a weekly conversation about educational technology. As we enter a more student-centered age, let's talk about using all the tools in our toolboxes to be innovative and dynamic teachers.
Tuesday February 9, 2016
Hey ! Shauna in Toronto. One of my all-time fave books abt school culture is Albert Cullum's "Push Back the Desks" from the 60s
Hi Everyone Kathy from CT jumping in and out of chat tonight
Hey Feels like I've been away for a LONG time. So glad I'm here tonight.
Hi Carl from Emerald Australia
I'll be here a short while before Ash Wednesday service starts
Hi ! Stacey from NJ. I am not sure that I have read any books about classroom culture.
A book that inspires me? Right now reading aloud Out of My Mind by Amazing!
Oh I'll be in and out tonite...and my Twitter doesn't seem to be working on my iStuff. Jay, Gimli, MB
Hey! Joy from Florida - I am a big fan of Teach Like a Pirate and The Book Whisperer.
Hi All,
Lauren from MA. Just jumping in.
A1: I call my class a team, but inevitably the Ss always end up calling it a family! Not a bad outcome!
Book? Book? Book? Lord of the Rings... that idea of a culture of just doing stuff because it's right.
Also - Matilda. Examples and Non-Examples! 😂
A1: I'm a HS teacher. I have 6 classes each day. They each have their own personalities. I love them all.
So you've got a fellowship!
I actually love the idea of my Ss pouring out of a clown car, performing. Great visual, thanks!
I dunno, having a group of Ss who work against a common enemy is powerful!
A1) My class is a team. We work together and carry each other over hard times
Given my boys, it's a terrifying image this year!
urbie, instructional designer from arizona (clinicians are my Ss).. book? Leaders Eat Last by
A1 I used to call my students my kids, but as a group and in front of them I called them by their grade level.
Yes a fellowship sounds right
I am so very fortunate with this group . Lots of hard work but what a pleasure!
Chris from PA hoping for a snow day & A1: we are friends.
A1 we are a team that works toward a similar goal but in different directions
Love it! And fingers crossed for you!
A1: Family! I refer to staff as both.
I'm here! 1st gr tchr in St. Augustine love teaching with my buddy
That's great! Does it hang in the room and do they refer to it?
Hey, I'm coming in a little late, but I'm here nonetheless. Derek fro checking in a little late to .
A1 or can I disprove them as Monty python's flying circus
A1 My class is like a family. Having a teacher is like having another parent each year. This year, lovably dysfunctional...
OK I have to do Ash Wednesday service my class. Will be back towards the end
In my current post I refer to the Ts with whom I work as "my teachers". I feel a great sense of responsibility to & for them.
Yup! They all came up with their and our class are all hanging up and refer to it often.
A1: I just call us an us. If specific, I go by grade, or course name. We kind of just happen.
A1 we focus on the positive only in class. Read our rules each day. Pass the positive necklaces
describe them (stupid autocorrect)
A1: Family helps kids build empathy. Team is more about collaboration.
Same here. I never really gave it much thought (sadly).
hi! I can't find the question.
Fantastic! So happy for them and you! Great memory & example.
A1 My class is my kiddos or my 5th graders. I also call them by their online name of .
A1 Presently I design online training. Ss are individuals remotely listening to webinars. A loosely connected team methinks.
We're putting our on the front of our ThinkBooks in 9 & 10
. It keeps my day moving that is certain. Huge differences between 1st period and 7th period (2nd is planning).
I often tell them we are a team as well. I must be really split b/c my class gets called almost anything.
not to say that we don't have character & identity!
I do the 'my' bit too. Don't know why. Not sure if it is ownership, teamwork, or control. Being truthful.
Exactly, never lacking in identity! We just were!
A1: Think my Ss consider me their property more than I consider them mine.
I like that, just calling each other "friends" is nice. A little too much like Barney the purple dino, but nice,
Art from TX, looking around... Trying to figure out if I'm in the right building.
For me it's a bit of ownership and mostly pride! I was always proud of my students! Now I am proud of my teachers!
Wait--Do you have siblings? Might be why we do the 'my'.
A2 We are in groups. It is the placement that I go back to most often.
A2: Ss design the clsrm at beginning of the yr. Change it as needed. Select their own seats. Seating plan only as a last resort
Hey everyone!Sorry i'm running tad late this evening. long day doesn't even scratch the surface! happy to be here with my pals
A2: we start with talkie tables (2 together - big squares) and adjust as needed
A1 my students and I am obsessed with them are a family a crazy, loud, chaotic one but family
A2 We have varied seating - so it suits Ss who like to sit alone, with one, or with two. Also, soft furn. to spread out on...
A2 we sit in groups of 3 to work together. Plus, we have hula hoops, pirate mats and bean bag chairs https://t.co/uCM3GdgSnL
Didn't think about that---a bit creepy. Thanks.
A2: Lots of flexible seating options - carpet, bungee chairs, benches, small tables, large tables, pillows.
I'm pretty sure MOST of my years are a little (okay, a lot) dysfunctional.
I do, but I never thought of it like that. I cal my own children my boys. Maybe everything is just MINE.
A2: Depends on the situation, but always in some form of group.
A1 we also refer to each other as friends and proud Pirates.
I like the idea of bungee chairs and yoga balls, but they drive me a little nuts...
sit in groups but most of the day on the floor on bean bags on stools everywhere
A2 Kinda mixed up response.. learners (clinicians) are remote. They could be in their cubicles, offices, exam rooms, mobile..
A2 we sit with our spaghetti/meatball partner on the carpet too
A1 - Ya'll... My students. Individual names very important.
A2 my room is a robotics lab, we have to center pods of 8 & computer and desks around the outside w/ stools
A2: Have two tables. Ss have a tendency to sit at the one table. At times they stand more than sit & work anywhere they choose.
Together, we create guidelines for bungee chairs: take turns, track on checklist, no excessive bouncing
YES!!!! It's mine, all mine!
A2b One thing they have in common is they’re almost always alone in very close (<18 inches) from a screen.
A2My students sit in circular tables of 4.see 36 students so I have 9 teams.Goals of team collaboration with diff config of Ss
A2 We have desks, a rug, individual rugs. I wish it was closer to the visions in my head. I'd like more individual
A2: Always some options for quiet spots for introverts like yours truly or those who want some space.
So sorry to add that dimension of weird. Of course my lil bro was a HUGE Barney fan so I was overloaded when young.
Yeah the bouncing makes me crazy.
A2 my room folds in the center like a taco
What are pirate mats? What do you use the hula hoops for?
A2 I always had clusters of desks (from 4-6). I was deliberate w seating, but would allow for choice and a lot of flexibility.
Yoga balls are great for kids who need to wiggle!
A2 On a side note.. I’ve been to a lot of .. there’s a TON o’ diversity in what learning spaces look like..
Gotta feed the fam I'm trying some new stuff this semester that I'll drop into the after hours part of the chat!
A2: I'm in a lab classroom. Not much flexibility. Wish I had another 10 feet along one wall.
A2: My students sit in groups as most of their work is done in projects.
RT julie_haden A1 we focus on the positive only in class. Read our rules each day. Pass the positive necklaces
I wanna be in your class... Sounds comfy.
Wiggling yes, bouncing high - o.O
A2: Like to have as much choice as possible. They even are able to sit on the tables for read alouds.
I started incorporating standing tables into the classroom as well!
A2 I have a T who just split her CR in half w desks in rows on 1 side & in clusters on other. Ss choose seats on a daily basis.
A2 We are in groups of 5 & 6. Lots of collaboration and usually a little TOO much talking. But it's my doing.
hula hoops are hoop of silence. Sit inside and work. A little bubble. It is a pirate bath mat I found at Walmart
A2 K-12 learning environments I’ve seen recently look nothing (aside from having walls/windows/doors) like when I was a kid.
I need to be better on test or individual work days to change the arrangement.
So comfy that a parent once fell asleep at an open house!
I love choicety choice choice choice!
Adorable! Love that idea. How old are your students?
A2 I really want to do more flex-seating like my pal . Not sure about this year, but maybe next year.
I was the same, though never a fan of odd numbered groups (in general).
A2 We also have a few comfy chairs, carpet, pillows etc
Believe it or not, the bouncing novelty wears off! 😂
Did you take a picture? :0)
A2 dilemma is being a block teacher I see 1000 kids a week.Hard 2 build that "rapport" and really know seating styles in 40 min
we are first grade! They love the hoop of silence!
But when you have 25-30 kids, tables of 5 & 6 work well.
Is that like the "cone of silence"? And yes, I am showing my age and humor.
LOVE the hoop of silence idea! I want one in my office!
. Such good reflection. Sometimes I have to step back and ask myself, how did I contribute to the noise?
I preferred groups of 6 (hated the ODD desk).
We are in desks but I'd like to have tables & other great assorted seating options. With time. I changed grades this year so.
Our custodian very kindly modified round tables we already had - they had adjustable legs
A3 We solve problems together. My Ss usually have better ideas than I do.
Every single S in my 6th per needs one.
LOVE that idea! Going to share that. Do they have the choice of when they need it?
I often have table sof 6 but just 5 kids sitting at them.
Thanks. It hasn't been easy to take the ownership there, but it needs to happen.
A3: Choice is super important - sometimes choice within structure, sometimes open choice.
A3 giving more choices this year and I notice Ss happier and more engaged
A3 I try to give choice when I can, when it works it's awesome, and when it doesn't, pulling it back sends a strong message.
A3- Choice is always on my mind. Sometimes worry if I am not managing it correctly, resulting in Ss taking advantage.
So you're a little anal about numbers? What other "fun" traits do you have that we should be aware of?
bungee chair! Flexible seating!
A3 students get choose the best tool for the project that they want to create
A3 I liked to give my students choice in product. You can do, make, create 1, 2, 3, etc.
I like to do "T" groups. Two desks in the back of 4 slide together. The 2in the front of the 4 face each other. Looks like a T
How far can you launch a ball with that?
A3 we instituted good phone call of the day where they nominate their peers. Thanks to for this idea! Love!
A3: choice feeds into building self-esteem/confidence & independence. It also has the lesson of consequences.
I am incredibly "particular" about many things...my poor Ss.
A3 Hm.. doesn’t. Not really. Most of stuff I produce is accredited. So experience is tightly controlled. Ss choose to enroll?
How do you determine the spaghetti/meatball partner? Like that idea!
A3: Sadly, not enough. My juniors and seniors got to choose seating. What are good HS answers?
A2: You can see my room set up on my twitter profile - it's my banner!
Are they comfortable? I am tempted to try one or is only for kids?
I sometimes think I NEED a yoga ball for ME!
For me, as much responsibility as you can stomach handing over, and then maybe a tiny more?
I would love a standing desk/works station.
A3: S choice is everything in building a pos clsrm culture. No two classes are the same - need to build the community together
A3: In the library we give Ss choice each day. We encourage Ss to present sessions during lunch. Love when they present tech!
Don't you hate to hear the words "well, you made that choice" coming out of your mouth?
Trying to vary classroom layout monthly if not more often. I ❤️it. https://t.co/yva9pKfNdn
A2 On a side note.. I’ve been to a lot of .. there’s a TON o’ diversity in what learning spaces look like..
I want the standing/sitting switcher desks. That'd be great!
Or, "Well, maybe we're just not MATURE enough for this choice." Then I feel terrible...
A3: My Ss set their own goals each week. I review them but they decide how to work towards bigger goals.
I look at their academic level & then responsibility/maturity to ensure we will stay focused & get the task done.
How did you fund your yoga balls? How many? Do they have feet? Sorry for ?s, but I really want some as well!
Interesting. I have never heard of that...we sat in "buses".
A3 - Choice is key. When I did a poll on my blog Abt 4 mos ago. Respondents said S choice n voice most mprtnt 4 motivating Ss.
Absolutely, seating can flex to fit Ss and the work! https://t.co/df7OM0829q
A2 I have a T who just split her CR in half w desks in rows on 1 side & in clusters on other. Ss choose seats on a daily basis.
I was thinking the same thing! Tempting isn't it?
Maybe too comfy for me then. I already fall asleep too frequently at my desk as it is.
A3 When I do un-accredited stuff it’s more story & make stuff, experiential w/oodles of choice. Blended learning.
We've got a giant cushion that we call the Cush.
Oh yeah, totally out of the budget for a school!
it is their think, pair, share partner too
Trying to convince the hubby to make one.
I just cringe. Inside I say "I can't believe those words came out of me!".
Not while teaching I hope. Super glue can be evil!
Would be cool to have something like @ the Apple store.
Yeah, sometimes kids can drag me into, IGuessI'mNotAGoodTeacherLand.
I think it could at least clear 15 feet or 4.572 meters for
Incredibly comfortable! All sizes of kids and adults!
A2 changes frequently to match needs & encourage flexibility. Wish I could ditch tables some days. https://t.co/TRr0ijl3kL
A3 I try to give choice where poss but I feel like I could still do more! I'll finish this year decent & then make BIG changes,
Mine were funded through Donors Choose.
look I can use google to convert feet to meters
Two rows or partnerships (knee to knee) w an "aisle" down the center. Made listening during workshop easy!
OK, you've motivated me. I'm going for it again!
Love this. But gotta go. Tues eve needs to go on my calendar for
Love this. But gotta go. Tues eve needs to go on my calendar for
A4 I like games where the move around the room based on their opinions. Kids realize how much they have in common w/each other.
I think in inches, feet and kms.
now that is something to investigate
we play lots of charades with heads up app kids love it and bond also love making games then sharing them
Random. Maybe just get enough for an area or group?
is trending on Twitter in
No, never while teaching. At least not yet!
A4a I’m captivated by .. I’ve run it by the PTB (Powers That Be) for inclusion but no dice yet..
It's ridiculously fun. I won a set at a recent conference. Such a great game!
Check out . They have AMAZING furniture. Similar to the Apple Store desks. Reminded me. https://t.co/vEBxCN5kPh
Would be cool to have something like @ the Apple store.
I wanna do a hashtag game of !
A4 Best success I’ve had with games are case studies where learners solve probs. They’re a kind of paper/story-based simulation
No maple syrup in my fridge. Or cupboards.
A4 we drew things about us, crumpled it up, tossed in the middle of the pile and then guessed who it is.
A4: play many games to practice rdg skills. This yr added Pick Up Sticks 2 help w/ focus so Ss no what is involved. Many +++s!
I don't care about hockey.
Yes! Esp. when two kids who don't know each other end up being the only ones w/same opinion...
A4 I think games that promote collaboration also support the building of community and pos class culture!
A4 we play fact fluency around the world to build teamwork
A2: The desks are in a new formation today: four groups of six desks in the four corners. It varies from day to day/wk to wk.
A4 I used to be really good about playing at w/ my Ss, but I've not done that in a while. I need to do more.
Could I use a tennis racquet to help propel the ball?
A4 We play to learn critical thinking skills together.
I'm back. Service was student run and relatively short
A1: We are "The Biologists."
A4: Take focus away from win/lose. In games, focus on cooperation, instead of competition. Work together tw common goal.
lunch bunch, bike club, DEAR time and such are ways we build a community and trust
A4 Love the games and songs. Always a hit with the kids!
You could, but you don't need to. Your hand as a paddle works great!
I was on top of monkey bars once, and overheard a kids say, "THAT's your teacher?!?"
Since I teach Cultural Studies, we try to play UNO in whichever language we are learning. Just finished france. In morocco now.
I have optional work time during recess. Really helped with classroom environment
These chats are good for me b/c they help me see what I'm lacking in & how I NEED to improve. Thanks crew for improving me!
A4: Give game rules, unleash kids to play. Stop, discuss what went well, strategies to try. Play again.
We are raising money for education of students in poorer schools. Competition between classes to raise most money
Tweet of the night? ! https://t.co/dBhTuUpAiP
These chats are good for me b/c they help me see what I'm lacking in & how I NEED to improve. Thanks crew for improving me!
How many moose do you have as pets I have 12 unicorns as pets
is now trending in USA, ranking 45
I think I might say the same thing! Though I loved playing with them during xtra recess!
I must admit that watching them talk one through picking up a certain stick is wonderful! I need to videotape it.
I don't ever go on the Monkey bars b/c "big" dudes don't belong in the air at all!
is always a good way to build community in a classroom
I could stand to lose a few, but even so...
using a new language levels the playing field since we are ALL learning it. I tend to find those comfort. to be game leaders
Extra Recess is the best! I LOVE when we earn extra recess!
You're braver than I am then.
This one is ridiculous! hahahaha
A5 Could prob do more of this, but we use at least 3 times a week and get silly
A4: Focus on gameful attitude development, not rewards when using games. Badges are extrinsic. Less long term motivation
love using music and drama my Ss make movies and songs for our content all the time they love to perform !
Earn?!?!? W my kids it was an almost daily occurrence! 1st graders need to move!!
We LOVE that! We call it Snowball Fight. Because we're Canadian.
Really Nathan? You had to go and bring JarJar into this perfectly happy chat?
A5: YES, YES, YES!! Risk-free, expressive classrooms!
A5: Probably. We made some cool 3D models with clay, a cellular respiration script and play. Blogging as a community now.
Listen, classroom Ts had fun playing during too!They all wanted to make bracelets!
A5: Oh yes! I haven't in years, but used to have Ss put on Garden Party w/ poetry and their artwork.
I'm w/ 4th & 5th & they will do almost anything for extra recess so it helps me out too. :)
That is my beef with badges. I really want them to want it because they do, not for prizes.
A5 Yes, it was part of choice, a part of "free" time. I loved when my Ss shared their work.
A5 I *could* but it would take a MAJOR leap-of-faith on the part of the PTB. Odd that kids have more fun learn spaces> grownups
A5 really helps to bond us as a class while highlighting our differences
A4: My S teacher organized an amazing game of .
A5: Collaborative art is the 💣!
True. JarJar does mar the chat a little. hehe
yes, that's the name! I like it for FL. FL girl here!!
A5 Like , we have a puppet theatre, and I like doing collaborative artwork.
A5a A while back I did a project with mannikins.. so realistic that Ss forgot they represented people.
Q5: I incorporate the music & dancing from the Hispanic Culture. The students love it & parents appreciate it.
One of my fav parts of teaching Global Studies is letting Ss hear music/learn dances from other countries. Use music as timer
A5: Act out expectations. Have volunteer Ss act out "examples" and "non-examples" of what behav should look like
Check it out after on Amazon...so great!
Music is always a great (and easy) entry point!
A5 you bet
Music, song, even going to a movie together
we need to join forces again and do scripts. We start Q4.
A5 I love to integrate the arts whenever possible. My Ss are almost starved for the arts so it's always well received.
A5 I’d like to design an activity where learners sketched ideas rather than wrote papers describing ‘em.
We must be trending ! Here come the spammers!
A5 is huge in my class as well.
So much of "gamification" has been bastardized into extrinsic reward systems and are not changing ANYTHING in ed
Previous years we would make salt dough maps of Utah & clay beehive banks. Ss LOVED it & so did I!
yes!!!! Beach ball fight!
I loved taking my kids to the movies (always "book" related). It was a nice way to connect outside the CR!
A1: My classroom is a family because my Ss look out for each other and they understand each other's differences.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A5: Share class expectations in song, rap, poetry, drawings. What should a positive classroom look/sound/feel like?
Am I blind? I never notice the spammers!! Haha.. (My ADD makes me oblivious though!!)
YES!!!!!! Best thing ever!!
I just stumbled on to this great chat is it always Tues at 7pm I will tell my Twitter pals!
Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam--wonderful spam, wonderful spam...
So much spam in tonight's - currently reporting all kinds of tweets!
I don't see it unless I'm tagged because I do it from Tweetdeck. When I'm on other clients, I do...
we do a STEM once a month it's great bonding
The pictures creep me out. Then I count how many ppl I block and follow up on .
So you'd have them do some assignments instead of papers? I really like that idea. Used to do more them.
I still see it on tweetdeck...hmmm...
Yes indeedy, Carrie, please do! Glad to have you & your awesome sharing!
you have to find student interests and design lessons with that in mind
Sketchnote your learning!
we love GoNoodle!! https://t.co/5Fy7G8yJGV
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes! It is one I do not like to miss.
Loved making homemade doughs when I taught preschool.
A6: What do they want to do and how can there be an angle that hits content and skills too? How about authentic audience?
yes! Especially bc I'm familiar with the music and the culture. When parents heard- they wanted to come in & help.
That makes sense. Ugh. Also: Thank you!
A6 I always say you have to make them drink the kool-aid. Show that school is so exciting and learning is the best thing ever.
Meanwhile, pics from legit friends () don't come through via tweetdeck & I miss them
- makes a heck of a great set of homemade playdough!
A6: connect with them somehow--humor or inside jokes. Make them feel apart of something. Share w/ them.
A6: Get to know them as individuals outside the classroom- on a field trip, school yard, attend an event outside of school
A6 It starts with conversation and getting to know them!
we are trying to get better about staying focused doing STEM Wednesday. I have STEM sticks in completing.
A6 - For me, there's a lot of hand holding, and finding what they love. I go down rabbit holes too often, maybe...
You took your classroom students to the movies? Did you pay or did the kids? Jersey must be diff.
❤️ Everyone needs play dough!
YES!! I have this happening right now with Morocco! Lots of parents volunteering for LOTS of things! https://t.co/YlbOSE0Dj5
yes! Especially bc I'm familiar with the music and the culture. When parents heard- they wanted to come in & help.
A6 conversation is key. Lunch bunch too. Interest survey from Ss and parents each year.
I use strategy take about 3 min to have a personal convo w/ those Ss after I give an assignment before they start it works
I know! Good think I follow up w the app (I hate the chicken pox look on my phone).
We met at the theater and the kids and their parents paid their own way!
A6 set goals in their data notebook for personal and academic
A6: Connect to what they value, celebrate approximations, value THEM!
a6. BUILD A RELATIONSHIP. Show your'e interested in their interests. Small talk makes a HUGE difference
I thought it was silver (or gold if it was young meat).
What kind of rotten unicorn meat have u been eating? Fresh is brown/glitter
I went trail biking with Ss/parents once. Easy trail, but still, awesome! May do this yr.
A6: Make it about them. A frank chat about what THEY want/need from the course helps so much!
I always gravitate towards the quiet, shy Ss. They need someone to cheer them on & fight for them. Always go for the underdog.
I didn't realize there was such a variety of canned spiced ham.
I try not to eat unicorns even though they are delicious
The kids loved it and I enjoy the variety!
Okay, that doesn't seem so crazy then. Plus their parents would be there too. Much better idea.
A6: Also trying to steer convo from grades to learning. Grades often disengage these kids.
I see spam w/ bacon, spam w/ eggs, bacon, sausage and spam.
A6: Watch them play sports, celebrate their drawings, talk Pokemon with them...
Give it a try. We saw a variety of movies. The last was Puss In Boots.
You're so good to report the spammers. I often forget to do it.
Thank you from a former underdog!
A6: build trust w/ them. It is essential for them to know they can count on you.
I keep things Ss and Ps give me that were special and when a bad day comes I taken them out and read them
A5: Some Ss shine there, so yeah. Hoping my Analog Design Unit helps everyone grow confidence artistically
A7 Sounds silly but start w a smile! I always feel better (even after a fake smile). Hugs also help!
A6 Try to reach disengaged Ss by reaching out to them. Ask questions, learn about them.
I'm dying laughing right now! So funny!
A7: We always kept a compliment/shout-out box. When things went south, we'd pull it out and celebrate the good.
A7) Listen to their problems, offer direction. Be positive yourself
that looks like that hurts
From one quiet student to an underdog---you're welcome!
A7 Regroup with a one song dance party!
Umm...that is a whole different level on crazy!
A7: We talk. We're open. We're human. We're in it together. We need to figure it out.
A7 sometimes you need to stop the lesson and see who needs a pick me up. Learning can't be done when your mind is preoccupied.
A7: dance party, art party, sketch and shred party...
A7: Moods and emotions are a part of life. Share feelings in a respectful way. Discuss how to deal when you're feeling bad/sad
I'm always behind in chats. I think Tweetdeck has it out for me! Gotta keep up w/ the "good kids" who are paying attention.
A7: I am not sure what to say. We've done pretty well together this year. Any lurking Ss want to chime in, ?
Appreciated telling my kids how I felt and seeing them respond accordingly.
A7-- On a rough day, I try to find small ways to lighten my own mood, (joke with a student, some other positive connection).
I imagine that those would look more like an ice cream cone
What, are you only frying up the horns then?
A7: Validate all emotions. Provide strategies for dealing with the tough stuff. Empower your students to react positively
Start small (2-3 choices and then "other"-their own proposal).
A6 Step away from the PowerPoint (slide deck), turn up the lights & move around.
Living in the future is amazing.The benefits of the digital age
also visit a friends room I love to pop in a K class always can find a reason to smile there
He's much bigger than the GI Joe doll.
A6 Have you seen World War Z? That part where he says “Movement is life.” It’s learning, too.
I would put the meat in the horn. couple scoops of unicorn please
Thanks Google & crazy people all over for that possibility!
Thanks for another great chat everyone! Gotta run!
A7: If it gets too deep, class discussion time. Empathize and problem solve.
Unicorn meat is like a banana - comes with its own container.
A7 A while back at I made a mistake in front of peers. I didn’t die. We worked it out. Nothing engages like empathy
I love you, -ters! You are delightful. Make sure to join in next week to talk about board games! https://t.co/BysfxUMJro
A7: days like these will happen--just go with it. Ride it out.
It's amazing what happens when you're willing to make mistakes in front of others!
you would think that but taste more like mule meat
Thanks, ! I am always happy to bumble along on Twitter and find ! :)
I'm on the floor people! Not sure I can finish.
Or let them go out and run it off.
I have no experience there.
At Bball & missing , looks like I'll have to catch up!
