Welcome to #teachNVchat Please introduce yourself, share a favorite part of Teacher Appreciation Week so far, & invite some friends to join us tonight! #teachNVchat
Hi everyone. I’m Kevin and I teach high school science @LCHSBears in Indianapolis, IN. I received a couple of letters from Ss. The best one was from a S who has struggled with school, but is doing GREAT in my class. Meant a lot! #teachNVchat

#teachNVchat, hello, Ann Marie Dickson, proud wife of Ben and proud principal of Elmcrest ES, my favorite part has been having students ask if they could have materials and space to make cards and posters to show their love and appreciation for their teachers.
hi @tikaee! I'm excited to chat with you tonight! I've received 2 very sweet kid-written notes this week. Any #bmoreedchat or #eduar friends still up who want to join us? #teachnvchat

A1 when students & teachers can explain their thinking-sometimes its a think aloud during a read aloud or during a number talk when a student explains a strategy #teachNVchat
A1. When I think about adult learners reading so many professional books over the summer, my mind wonders if sharing their thoughts with others won't aid in true implementation in the fall. "Thinking about their thinking ..." #teachnvchat
R1: I give background content on a subject, give a lab activity that Ss can manipulate the content and apply to real situations, then provide opportunities for Ss to explain their results in relation to the background knowledge. #teachNVchat
A1 In kindergarten, it is generally done through discussion. I try to make time for the Ss to reflect on new learning, a particularly challenging or just fun activity, or new experience i.e. performances. #teachnvchat
For sure! That's why I'm excited about book clubs in general but online plns even more so. I love to read but learn best through listening, processing, then processing some more. #teachnvchat
for sure. I loved the math assessment notebooks you used to have the kids do at SR. Writing about what they initially thought and then how they changed their thinking to work toward the correct answer #teachnvchat
A2 does my answer make sense? is my answer reasonable? what in the text makes me think this & how is it connected to the larger theme of the story? Why do I think this is important & can I justify it? #teachNVchat
A2. Why, what if .... and how. Having a class discussion about the graphic below might be very helpful in students internalizing their thinking #teachnvchat
Yes! I've worked at schools where T metacognition was an expected component of our weekly PLC meetings. This is not the case currently, however. Would be so enlightening, humbling and progressive #teachnvchat
YES we talk a lot about estimation in Math & what that means to understanding the reasonableness of an answer-are you even in the ballpark? #teachNVchat
I worked with several teachers and they, in turn, tried to help students learn about asking each other questions. It was VERY challenging. Baby steps are necessary with this one :-) #Teachnvchat
I love the Does my answer make sense? In kindergarten math, I love asking for multiple ways to show their thinking i.e. adding on their finger, with a number line, with manipulative, drawing a picture, making 10 frames. #teachnvchat
