My students would like the ice - we just did a experiment melting ice with salt & water. #kinderchat #lulearns

One year we did a study of snow that went on so long it evolved into a study of water. Lasted all year #kinderchat

Q5: Really quickly, do you think we can advocate for more outdoor play in our day? Do you think we should? #thinkingaboutthenext #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Jan 30 @ 9:56 PM EST

I like the idea of individual sensory bins too. Gives kids some alone time #kinderchat

A5) YESSSS!!!!!! #Kinderchat #iforgotthehastag

Hope it helps! I was NOT a fan of sensory bins when I first started so I had to adapt them to make them work for me. 😉 #Kinderchat

A4: When they let us play in the snow one day in first grade!! Even though we weren't supposed to. #Kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Jan 30 @ 9:57 PM EST

And doesn’t that make you sad to think they didn’t want you, a kid, to play in the snow? #kinderchat

A4 : Mostly just playing kickball/basketball. But I also had the chance to be a mediator at recess so I would help with issues #kinderchat

lauriesmcintosh Jan 30 @ 9:57 PM EST

Exactly! Individual bins work wonders for my kids struggling with self regulation. #Kinderchat #SelfReg

A5: Talked to another K teacher & every Friday all students go outside to play until 1st recess. Helped immensely w behavior. #Kinderchat

caitcorrigan7 Jan 30 @ 9:58 PM EST

A5 : Absolutely. I think a lot of learning can be done outside of the classroom #kinderchat

LStehl Jan 30 @ 9:59 PM EST

That's interesting. I never thought of taking more time outside to help w behaviors. #kinderchat #lulearns
