@smarterteacher @JennyWamsley @PErachelbell something is wrong with my fingers tonight #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

I'm from Central Texas & my favorite food is bread... or maybe cereal... #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

pentaclethra May 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

cjcrawcooper May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

So much food to choose from! Shrimp and grits #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@daleyscience Ugh. You sound like us. We are done tomorrow...finally. #scitlap

ChemLes May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: #scitlap If my hand is in the air the students know it is my turn to speak when it is down, or I am done speaking

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@cjcrawcooper Good choice, we served it at our daughter’s wedding last fall! Very southern! #scitlap

theteachingjedi May 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: I use a hi five. I put my hand up, say "hi five", and Ss say it back with their hands in the air too. Wait till all comply. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: My cues are the universal "I'll raise my hand until you recognize that you should stop talking," or reverse counting from 5. #scitlap

cjcrawcooper May 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@SueAtSea I bet the guests loved it. GA in the fall is also beautiful #scitlap

pentaclethra May 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 I use positioning myself as a cue.I start at desk getting attendance and such done.Then springto life and go to "starting place" #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@EdTechDash You're gonna waste your favorite on cereal? Lol. #scitlap

ChemLes May 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: #scitlap I also use Love and Logic with I can continue when everyone is quiet

theteachingjedi May 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@theteachingjedi The verbal and visual work wonders. #scitlap

smarterteacher May 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A.2 I always play music in my classroom. When the music stops the students know to stop and wait for instructions. #scitlap

EdTechDash May 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@daleyscience I could eat it for any meal, seriously. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 classes are very, very small so I don't use an attention signal much this yr. Have used hand up & counting prompt. #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 It’s an announcement or a prop. Sometimes an interesting current event or pic on the screen #scitlap

lorigreentx May 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A1: Lori, 7th sci, Arlington, TX and tacos. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@smarterteacher I like this! What kind of music do you typically use? Instrumental? Pandora? #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@PErachelbell #scitlap

cjcrawcooper May 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: I try to have something at the tables or on the board to start. #scitlap

EdTechDash May 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: Verbal cues to start. Body language or raised hand for refocusing. HS doesn't go for call and repeat #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@castle_pants I. LOVE. this. My 5th graders even would love this! Very cool idea. #scitlap

WindyCity03 May 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

I like a silent countdown from five. I say 5, 4 (a little quieter), show 3, 2, and 1 and begin on one. #scitlap https://t.co/aONlzyW7wI

  Second question! https://t.co/GoXbOHJR7G

EdTechDash May 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @daleyscience That's what I'm sayin #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@smarterteacher I use this in the gymnasium a lot. Very easy and there's no confusion! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@castle_pants Those are actually really pretty funny. Props to the Punnett Sq student.... I LOLed for real. #scitlap

smarterteacher May 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell I have about 30 playlists on iTunes, some are themed, some are random. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 Thinking....sometimes a sign on the door, a message or "do now" on the board and if I pre-heat they know what to do! #scitlap

PWebb30 May 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@cjcrawcooper I have trouble focusing them for class directions when I use Do Now such as these #scitlap

JennyWamsley - Moderator May 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Here is Q3. #scitlap https://t.co/wU5jJoJsWP

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Third question! https://t.co/oAc3pncBwF

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@PErachelbell 3rd question.. #scitlap sorry about this!

WindyCity03 May 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A lot of the clapping cues can get annoying to students and visitors #scitlap

PWebb30 May 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@daleyscience can you explain preheat a little more? #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3 1st - Establish relationships so you are approachable. Ask some who would be a good partner to work with next time. #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell May 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @smarterteacher I just have instrumental music playing from my computer. Haven't used music for transition yet! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@PWebb30 @daleyscience It's a Dave-ism.... Getting kids ready/excited/heated up for whatever is to come #scitlap @burgessdave

pentaclethra May 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 Preventing bullying is difficult. Bullies are sneaky. My team makes sure Ss now we are available to talk. #scitlap

PWebb30 May 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

#scitlap while we are waiting, a plug for https://t.co/6dzmbHWh0g great collating and twitter site @smarterteacher

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3 when I rearrange seats I ask some Ss to make a seating chart. #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@SueAtSea very true! Students are not going to want to share their feelings/fears to a stone cold teacher #scitlap

ChemLes May 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: #scitlap I make sure that there is a good culture and if Ss aren't following then they are worked with

JennyWamsley - Moderator May 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Now why didn't I think of that. #scitlap https://t.co/v2QH3J0Eek

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3 when I rearrange seats I ask some Ss to make a seating chart. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@SueAtSea That's a good idea. I've never done that before. Do you give guidelines? #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@JennyWamsley A real timesaver. Even if you have to tweak. #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

4th question coming in 4 minutes... #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@SueAtSea what is the success rate for this strategy? I could see a lot of bickering students #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3 Modeling respectful behavior....promoting the Golden Rule. Just used it yesterday! #scitlap

EdTechDash May 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: I address it to the entire class in the moment, it's a dealbreaker that I nip in the bud from day 0 #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@Partain_Science “Think like the teacher would." If I ask a girl, I will suggest a boy to work with. Good to have a pair do it. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: I try to do a lot with written notes. Sometimes easier for SS to tell what's going on when T isn't staring at them #scitlap

phhscience May 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Student - Tt relationships are more important than rigor & relevance. Ss will learn if they believe Ts care about them. #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@PErachelbell I change so frequently, like every couple of weeks. Works for me #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@PErachelbell You are doing FANTASTIC! #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@Partain_Science Smart! Do you write notes, too, or just Ss? #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@SueAtSea @PErachelbell Maybe have policy that everyone will get to do a chart during the year. #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@Partain_Science Noble goal, but lets face it, not everyone can handle it! #scitlap

cjcrawcooper May 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

We talk about Ss to look after at beginning of year. Also switch groups and roles frequently #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Totally agree! #scitlap https://t.co/J6twSW4Luf

phhscience May 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Student - Tt relationships are more important than rigor & relevance. Ss will learn if they believe Ts care about them. #scitlap

@SueAtSea @PErachelbell Learning a lot tonight #scitlap Thanks for inviting me Sue

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@SueAtSea Maybe you could have some seats/SS that you always get to decide? #scitlap

smarterteacher May 11 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A.3 Sorry to say, I don't have issues with bullying. #scitlap

JennyWamsley - Moderator May 11 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Here is Q4. #scitlap https://t.co/DvhqiiYpEI

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Keep 'em coming! https://t.co/AYUl2FGl2O

ChemLes May 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@smarterteacher What procedures do you have in place so that does not happen! I would love to be able to say that #scitlap

JennaLSnow May 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3: i have popsicle sticks with Ss names. I 'randomly' choose lab groups and assign roles based on order drawn. #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@Partain_Science I love this idea! A lot of ss get nervous when talking face to face. Can write everything theyre feeling on paper #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@SueAtSea Iprob write more than Ss. Sometimes if they come in looking upset, to praise etc. Many of my Ss prefer private praise #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4 If have 2 lab tables together - may let all boys sit first, no more than 2 in group, then girls fill in. So it’s mixed. #scitlap

EdTechDash May 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: I assign based on many factors #scitlap

smarterteacher May 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A.4 I allow students to select their own seats. It is their LEARNING I control groupings for activities selectively or randomly. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4 Great question. I let Ss sit where they want until it's a problem. I actually think it's a good life skill. #goodchoices #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Some of you have already touched based on Q4 but feel free to add anymore insight if you would like!! Love hearing from you #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@daleyscience Good point! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@PErachelbell Also helps if you have a group that thrives on drama & adds fuel to fire #scitlap

ChemLes May 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4: I go with Wong's First Days of School and do assign seats. But with labs, groups we are always moving. S can earn group choice #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@JennaLSnow good idea! That way there is no arguing, luck of the draw #scitlap

pentaclethra May 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4 I have a deck of cards with Ss names. I shuffle and place cards. Change with IEPs and such. I have final say. Change monthly. #scitlap

cjcrawcooper May 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: I assign table, Ss pick seat. We do a lot of cooperative groups/jigsaws #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4 I assigned partners for project we are doing now. End of year - helps keep order really well! #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@daleyscience on avg, how long does this work until you have to switch things up? Ever make it a whole school year? #scitlap

theteachingjedi May 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: 1:1 in the fall. Hoping the collaboration does away with the need for a seating chart. #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

5th question coming in 3 minutes... #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@cjcrawcooper That's a good compromise.. Ss get choice but helps not put Ss in situations where they're tempted to make bad choices #scitlap

rooney125 May 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@JennyWamsley @JennaLSnow A3 in PE a lot of the teachers use the Team Shake app to quickly assign teams/groups. #scitlap

JennaLSnow May 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: i always choose seats. Switch seats often. Try to teach that Friendship and respect are different. #scitlap

pentaclethra May 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@cjcrawcooper I let them pick within their group too. #scitlap

smarterteacher May 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

I think it stems from the core principles of our LEARNING community. #scitlap https://t.co/sbs51wOLrX

PWebb30 May 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

#scitlap Trying a new chat site tonight and love it. Much easier to follow the chat; check out the link https://t.co/G0S7cV7nGD

PerkyScience May 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@pentaclethra I also have cards, but the Ss make their own at the beginning of the year. They add personal info. Helps to know them #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: seating arrangements is a great way to give Ss some responsibility but be firm that if they don't behave, they will move! #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@PWebb30 It is manageable size group and pace! Glad to have you here! #scitlap

pentaclethra May 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@PerkyScience Exactly, I use the deck to call on Ss in class to. 100% participation. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@PErachelbell Honestly, not too much of a prob. Sometimes have to help someone find a place to fit in or move someone who distracts #scitlap

EdTechDash May 11 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@PErachelbell I find this leads to a lot of arguing and wasted learning time when you do have to move. #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@daleyscience great way to give Ss responsibility and have them learn from their actions and behavior!! #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@PErachelbell My team supports moving a Ss to a different room if they really are having a bad day. Rarely have to. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4: Trying to make a Ss move when they are misbehaving can set up showdown between T & Ss in front of peers & that's never good #scitlap

EdTechDash May 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT

Yep, this. #scitlap https://t.co/WxHWltI8cQ

pentaclethra May 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT

Invariably. New seats "I hate this seat!", Next month we choose new seats..." I hate this seat, I loved my other one!" #scitlap

Question 5! https://t.co/j5OCV999kK

EdTechDash May 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@pentaclethra I student taught under a teacher whose response was "if you dont' like your seat, there's one in the office for you" #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@EdTechDash @Partain_Science I would suggest making moves the next day. But move disruptive students and maybe a few non students #scitlap

pentaclethra May 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5 I use a telephone to call parents. #scitlap Oh, and email.

smarterteacher May 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4 Also Work Collaboratively is a big part of the 6 C's in my classroom. #scitlap Must be able to work with anyone. https://t.co/bmJ3UQbJ4x

cjcrawcooper May 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4: some days we go kindergarten and students go to table based on activity wanted/needed #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5 I have parents on text and the Ss know it. Can’t imagine teaching before email and texting! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@PErachelbell Just curious. Did campus try to curtail this type of thing? In general was the campus very clique-cky (sp?), #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@EdTechDash @Partain_Science if you move one or two Ss, they will know who caused the moves that are happening #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5 We have iPass for morning attendance. #scitlap

smarterteacher May 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT

Our school uses @Schoology as our LMS and PowerSchool for attendance. #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@Partain_Science these girls have a group text that the school is trying to take down first. Lots of rumors & nonsense in it #scitlap

@PErachelbell @Partain_Science This is possible in theory, but I don't want to spend a lot of valuable time on musical chairs. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@JennyWamsley Just the program used for grades, attendance, logs, medical info. Not really a fan. Better things out there. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@PErachelbell @EdTechDash My guess is 98% of the time they know what caused the moves ! Helps deflate the drama though #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@JennyWamsley I loved it. We also had a teen speaker come in to talk that had a milder form of facial surgery. #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:42 PM EDT

I wish Twitter would understand that sometimes it's hard to make a point in less than 140 characters 😅 #scitlap

@cjcrawcooper what is GAFE? #scitlap

@PErachelbell @cjcrawcooper Google Apps for Education #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@SueAtSea how do teachers know if students ditched class or went home? #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @PErachelbell @cjcrawcooper Dying to use! #scitlap

@PErachelbell we are 6th in a 4-5-6 school. VERY monitored by Ts in hallway. Great kids and great staff here. #scitlap

A5: Anything that engages makes the difference in mgmt. It's not one specific app or piece of tech, it's what you do with it. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@PErachelbell @SueAtSea Take attendance every per & the Ss still do these this but they certainly take adv when there is a sub etc #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@SueAtSea sounds like a GREAT environment! #scitlap

cjcrawcooper May 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@SueAtSea @Partain_Science @PErachelbell my first year with classroom and I really like it but must learn more #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@PErachelbell I can check attendance, but I usually just ask the kids. They are all-knowing about that stuff! #scitlap

PWebb30 May 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT

#scitlap wish I could find a more 8th grade management system like digo

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@daleyscience @PErachelbell Ss are best at ratting out other kids...even when they don't mean to. #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@daleyscience @PErachelbell Yes, I ask the Ss, they know who is still in the bathroom, helping the other T, etc. #scitlap

JennaLSnow May 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Any ideas for a weather quiz password? Something witty? #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@Partain_Science Yup. Lol. #scitlap

It all comes down to the CULTURE of LEARNING in your classroom. #scitlap https://t.co/5cuMHFdqPL

Question 6! https://t.co/Pwl5tLnG7n

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6: My campus/district uses CHAMPS which is more about setting expectations. Some are more successul than others.. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A6 Again pre- heat the grill with behavior expectations from day 1. A warning + "the teacher look" usually works to remind #scitlap

cjcrawcooper May 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A6: lab safety violations are addressed immediately w/ 3 strikes rule per quarter #scitlap

EdTechDash May 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A6: Praise is verbal and public, and I do lots of positive calls home. The positive calls mean everything to both kid and parent. #scitlap

JennaLSnow May 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A6: expected choices earn spins. #scitlap https://t.co/O7W1ISqxiB

cjcrawcooper May 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A6: con't I did not give lab safety detention this year #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@JennaLSnow Tell them wxgeeks as wx is the industry abbreviation and .@WXGeeksTWC is a show they should watch! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A6 They know if you can't play right, you don't play. I'm nice but fair. #scitlap

pentaclethra May 11 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A6 I have tried both positive and negative systems. Will never do a 3 strikes system again. #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6: I think how you praise & how you punish sometimes has to be tailored to the Ss/class. This is where knowing your Ss is crucial #scitlap

smarterteacher May 11 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A.6 Sometimes you just need to remember they are Sophomores (wise fools) call em on it when necessary. #scitlap

A.6 I also tell them that I am better at being rude then they are. I'm smarter and have done it longer. #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6: dealing with negative behavior can be tricky as you don't want the student to miss out on learning or activity #scitlap

pentaclethra May 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6 Ss come to expect praise for the most mundane things. I use praise sparingly. #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@smarterteacher tough love! #scitlap

cjcrawcooper May 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@Partain_Science I think this is esp. True with public praise. Some Ss just don't want it public #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@PErachelbell So true! I have Ss who will misbehave, then suggest that they go to the office so they can get out of class #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@pentaclethra very true! If you praise everything, the meaning of praise goes out the window #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A7 Continue to praise, continue to be fair, think about seating choices, foster respect! #CTA #scitlap

SueAtSea May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A7 #CTA writing notes to Ss. Love this idea! Lots of great convo tonight even if not science! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@cjcrawcooper For some Ss, being labeled "too smart" is a death sentence socially. #scitlap #sad&true

daleyscience - Moderator May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@PErachelbell They can still learn, but removing them from the activity gets the point across. #scitlap

JennyWamsley - Moderator May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@PErachelbell Way to go!!! #scitlap #healthed #Physed https://t.co/Qvmm4HdcGC

JennaLSnow May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A7: more positive praise, and silent praise with notes. #scitlap

PErachelbell May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@SueAtSea I love this idea as well! #scitlap

smarterteacher May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @cjcrawcooper This is so unfortunate. #scitlap

EdTechDash May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@PErachelbell @pentaclethra True, depends on what you're praising. I praise perseverance and contribution to convo #growthmindset #scitlap

smarterteacher May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@kathyjacobyvv So True!!! #scitlap

cjcrawcooper May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A8: def. writing notes of encouragement as we prep for exams #scitlap

pentaclethra May 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@Partain_Science @PErachelbell That is when I try my darndest to keep them in class! #scitlap

Partain_Science - Moderator May 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@cjcrawcooper I've done this. I wrote every Ss a note before our state test. I think they liked it #scitlap
