Great start to our #BeTheWildCard book study! Thanks for the great Qs @hmarrs24 !! Have a great week everyone! I'm starting mine with yet ANOTHER snow day! #OrEdChat
A2: I love to scrapbook and help others. I’ve enjoyed using PicCollage with my students. I also enjoy bringing in service learning projects. #oredchat#BetheWildCard
A5. We post on FB. Teachers share with @ClassDojo. We have very little Twitter presence as a school. I think we could do better sharing with each other, teacher to teacher. We need to inspire from within. Setting up classroom visits needs to happen! #OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard
A5: Twitter, of course! But I also always share my ideas with my team as well. Sometimes I invite my principal in. Also share in our wkly newsletter w parents. Sharing is important b/c is encourages others to try new things. #OREdChat
A5: New to Twitter, but having a great time. I converse with parents on ClassDojo, and I post pics of our recent events on my website. #OrEdChat#BetheWildCard
I enjoy learning new things, even when my baseline knowledge is zero, and enjoy productive struggle that comes with creativity. I use my experience with learning and creating to anticipate students’ frustrations as they work to reach academic equilibrium. #OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard
A1: My creativity comes in waves. I will admit Pinterest has helped spark creativity. As a K-5 librarian, the inclusion of centers in my LMC has forced me to be more creative. I have tons of creative ideas outside of work, but can’t seem to find the time.#BeTheWildCard#OrEdChat
#oredchat That we seem to need each other here on Twitter tells me a lot about how much this need to share and get ideas from other daring teachers IS not satisfied at our own schools. WHY IS THAT? Why don't we have more allies within our own halls?
Great start to our #BeTheWildCard book study! Thanks for the great Qs @hmarrs24 !! Have a great week everyone! I'm starting mine with yet ANOTHER snow day! #OrEdChat
A4: I agree about the callbacks, it keeps kids active and participating! I also love doing room transformations, gamification and dressing in character. I will sometimes send a message to families with a teaser of what’s to come the next day. I use the app Remind.#OrEdChat
A2: Music! I would write songs that matched our learning standards. I have a song book with about 20 songs that I used when I taught primary kiddos. I even had my sister play piano so I could sing with my kids! Music built our classroom community! #OrEdChat#BetheWildCard
We are all from Riceville Iowa. We are also friends and created our own book club for this book. This is the Penguin Squad I have mentioned. #OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard
A5: I've shared a lot here on Twitter with my truly amazing PLN and also at various PD opportunities. Sharing our adventure encourages creativity & helps me refine the storyline. The @STEM_Ranger even has his own Twitter account! #OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard
A4: I Create eagerness by telling my #firsties that we have an exciting day FILLED with learning and fun. Each morning I give a “highlight reel”. If I know something exciting will be happening I try to give teasers. #OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard
On a podcast once I heard him say that "it is our moral imperative to share our story"! Another slice of brilliance from the Pirate Captain! #OrEdChat@burgessdave#tlap
A3: I’d love to take kids on an epic field trip! Studying the rainforest!? Let’s go to Brazil! Studying clouds!? Let’s go on a hot air balloon ride! The sky is the limit (pun intended)!! #OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard
When you find it, holler. :) Until then, let's keep on keeping on. Fighting the good fight. Sharing the light of positivity and attitudes of change. :) #OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard
A4: leave the day as a cliff hanger to tomorrow’s lesson! Give enough of a sneak peek to build anticipation for what’s to come! #OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard
A5: when I had a class of my own I would blog & share pictures on social media. It’s been fun sharing ideas with online educator communities! #OrEdChat#BetheWildCard
Pick a platform (Word Press, Blogger, Blogspot, etc.), pick a name 4 your blog, & then start. Write reflective posts from your lessons or life, & also instructive (what you do that you think is normal may be extraordinary to others) to help other Ts. #OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard
A2: I sing, play the piano, read, shop and love to spend time with my family ⛺️. I’ve brought a keyboard in before to play songs that are part of read alouds. Ss love this! They love to sing along with stories. #OrEdChat#BetheWildCard
Ok! By very popular demand (-: , here's a page of some of my science songs and movie and tv appearances related to education somehow. My students always want me to ramble on this stuff! https://t.co/OkJ2FLUCbh#OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard#Tlap
Personally? Contemporary Christian, & I sing in a local band. :) Pretty eclectic but rock and 80's are the other types I like. :) #OrEdChat#BeTheWildCard
