    Btw, lurkers feel free to jump in at any time! #wearewayne

  • SaraWilking Feb 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1- Humor helps you get through the rough stuff. It is also a great way to build relationships with your students. #WeAreWayne
  • teachforthewin Feb 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1: students are interested in fun. When we find humor with our students, we build stronger relationships and community. #wearewayne
  • MrsWey10 Feb 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1: humor is essential to break down barriers, walls, frustration & stress... while building relationships & trust! #WeAreWayne
  • LHCWilson Feb 6 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A1 Kids are wired for fun and laughing. I believe it is an important trait of a brain keyed and primed for learning! #wearewayne
  • msyouck Feb 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    Humor is how I connect with my colleagues and my students esp in escalated moments. #WeAreWayne

  • LHCWilson Feb 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    Q2 Science folks, what happens to the brain when we find something funny and laugh? #wearewayne
  • Dr_G_Alazar Feb 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A:1 Our brain craves humor, its how we're wired so let's put a big smile on our face and have a joyful humor! #wearewayne
  • msyouck Feb 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    I also know humor affects seratonin levels. I personally watch funny tv when I'm upset. Same rationale applies to kids #wearewayne
  • robbiegrimes Feb 6 @ 8:14 PM EST
    Laughter is usually one indicator I use to determine if a lesson is going well. #Wearewayne
  • LHCVickiWilson Feb 6 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A2: We relax, we open ourselves up to creativity and break down the walls that keep us TOO serious! #wearewayne
  • SaraWilking Feb 6 @ 8:15 PM EST
    A2 - Laughter releases endorphins making your body just feel better! #wearewayne #sciencegeeksunite
  • HollyRGentry Feb 6 @ 8:15 PM EST
    A2: I'm no scientist, but I'm sure it releases good stuff and suppresses bad stuff. LOL! Such a scientific response....Mr. Crosslin would be so proud! :/ #wearewayne
    In reply to @LHCWilson
  • MrsWey10 Feb 6 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2: laughter triggers the release of endorphins! Relieves stress and physical tension :) #WeAreWayne
  • LHCWilson Feb 6 @ 8:16 PM EST
    Q3 Alright, enough talking about laughing...Let's get to it...Share something a student has said or done in your classroom that had you ROTFLOL! (No names, please!) #wearewayne
  • LHCWilson Feb 6 @ 8:18 PM EST
    More Q3, or something YOU did or said as a student back in the day! #wearewayne
  • MrsEarnest22 Feb 6 @ 8:19 PM EST
    Hello! I'm here! Jessica Earnest, dean of students @BenDavisHS. #wearewayne
  • teachforthewin Feb 6 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A3: Look! I have highlights!! 😂 #wearewayne
  • MrsEarnest22 Feb 6 @ 8:20 PM EST
    A3: There are stories EVERYday! One of my favorite parts of my job #wearewayne
  • LHCWilson Feb 6 @ 8:20 PM EST
    A3 At LHC, everyone is careful not to remind Mr. Wilson of Chuck Norris Jokes! That leads to hard times on morning announcements! #wearewayne
  • LHCVickiWilson Feb 6 @ 8:20 PM EST
    A3: Ss said to me, "You'd look really good today if you weren't wearing a sock."...? Static cling had attached a sock to my dress, too bad when he told me it was 3rd period and I had taught all morning with a sock on my back. If you can't laugh at yourself... #wearewayne
  • MrsWey10 Feb 6 @ 8:20 PM EST
    A3: student has “mocked me” or did their best “Mrs. Wey” impression (voice, faces, go to phrases, and all).. and were so spot on I couldn’t breathe from lol #WeAreWayne
  • MrsEarnest22 Feb 6 @ 8:22 PM EST
    I would LOVE to see that impression! Haha! #wearewayne

    A3 - One of my students came up to ask me what a sub-un-it was. I couldn't figure out what she was talking about. Looked at the word on the page, subunit. Was still a joke when I had her again in class 3 years later. #wearewayne
  • MrsEarnest22 Feb 6 @ 8:23 PM EST
    A3: I can't speak for @micheeaton, but I truly love when she is over to work with our Ss and Ts and students see us together. "Are you sisters?"...my respond "Who is the younger sister" ;) #wearewayne
  • msyouck Feb 6 @ 8:23 PM EST
    do any of you apply humor first? I often use humor to de-escalate my kids before moving to sensory, bios, etc #wearewayne
  • LHCWilson Feb 6 @ 8:24 PM EST
    A3 An example, What did Chuck Norris say after getting a snake bite? "Tastes like chicken!" (Uh oh, it has started! Hunker down, LHC kids!) #wearewayne
  • robbiegrimes Feb 6 @ 8:25 PM EST
    I did a science lesson on action/reaction with a film canister, water, and Alka seltzer. A kid the next year did the same thing but put it in another Ss locker. Told the Prin Mr. G taught him how to make a bomb!! #Wearewayne
  • MrsEarnest22 Feb 6 @ 8:26 PM EST
    @sandyplyley was one of my best teachers. I will never forget in math class, when she explained to me that she no longer could move my seat. She explained that even if I was by myself, I would have conversations with myself! #true #wearewayne
  • LHCWilson Feb 6 @ 8:26 PM EST
    Q3 Friends and I were into puns in Jr. High. Drove our teachers NUTS! In L/A class, we had watched "Fiddler on the Roof." Next period, in Science, a video was shown with a crab crawling on coral. My buddy shouted out, "Fiddler on the Reef!" Teachers hated that stuff! #wearewayne
  • LHCWilson Feb 6 @ 8:28 PM EST
    Q3 What happens when Chuck Norris gets a question wrong on ISTEP? Nobody knows! #wearewayne (I made that up! Lol!)
  • MrsEarnest22 Feb 6 @ 8:28 PM EST
    Haha! That's funny! #soundthealarm #wearewayne

  • robbiegrimes Feb 6 @ 8:28 PM EST
    A3: I get the double take when I’m at CWE and tell the kids my name is Mr Grimes. I’ve also been called Dr Butts several times...and one time (just last week) Donald Trump!! 😳 #Wearewayne
  • LHCWilson Feb 6 @ 8:29 PM EST
    Q4 Share an answer a student gave to a question on a quiz/test/assignment that cracked you up! #wearewayne
