Good morning everyone - chiming in from Fairfax, VA! Division Level Instructional Coach
Summer Advice: Get lost in some really good books 📚🤓❤️
Today's : If you could give your kiddos one piece of advice for the summer what would it be? - https://t.co/LhSlVhw7lO
Happy Wednesday friends! Chris here from Ontario. Temps are more comfortable!
I plan on following that advice. :)
Advice: Choose to be positive.
Summer advice: Keep active, have fun, enjoy meaningful discussions with friends and family, and READ, READ, READ! 😊
Good morning, ! Chantell from IN. Taking my little boys to the dentist this am before heading to work.
Explore your passions this summer. Read something you want to learn more about. Have fun! My Summer page https://t.co/RSpAcuFV4L
No question- my advice is to find time to read!
me too! My book list is on overload at the moment Hahaa
Good morning . I'm flying out to Vancouver tomorrow - can't wait!
me too! Some great fiction + professional reads too! Kicking off a book study of Invent to Learn today!
Summer Advice: Enjoy the weather! In January you will wish that it was 90 degrees! ☀️
That's awesome! I have some YA books and professional as well! So many good things out there!
My advice is to learn something new every day! Take time for your passions and enjoy the break!
Advice: Read and explore, try one new thing and ask questions. Don't be afraid to play and get dirty.
Me too - the boxes keep arriving from Amazon :) Feels like Christmas
Good morning Tracy from MA having a hard time finding today's Q. So much spam! Ugh
depending on the age - figure out what your passions are :) Don't just play the video games, create them
I'm using the filter..a bit slow, but spam-free.
Haha what would I do without Amazon Prime!!
I think I'll take your advice to heart! 😊
Thanks Chris! We'll be doing a road trip around southern Ontario in July. Any recommendations?
Yes, love it! Create, make, explore! Don't spend your time passively!
play and get dirty! I love them! Exploration is key
Thanks Chris! I live my own advice with my girls and my husband.
Truth! Reading is not an addiction but a passion. https://t.co/stqze59rCx
Haha what would I do without Amazon Prime!!
Hanging in there! Last week of school, but my oldest ended last week! Craziness has begun.
Yes, be mentally and physically active as much as possible.
What one piece of advice would you give Ss as they begin summer?
Summer Advice: Continue making lots of musical.ly videos! Great way 4kids to use their imagination, create, & have fun
Yup, we have the same advice. I'd add cleaning my house!
True - playing & getting dirty is so important. Many kids don't get to do that.
Savour every moment! Summer passes quickly! 😊
I feel like we need to spend time at the end of the year discussing what this looks like with kids
Get outside, read, and write. Keep a journal.
Definitely have a to-do list for tech tools too. Play to learn.
I create a summer bucket list every year for my kids & myself. Last year-a reading bucket list for students with genres & places
Love this quote. So important for all. Unknown is on target. https://t.co/8NqpbGcNXb
Don't compare your results to someone else's. You can never be another person, you can only be a better version of yourself. - Unknown
Yes! Funny how they "forget." I my 3+5 yr old boys doing it so easily...sad Ss lose creating somehow
Any specific recommendations?
Summer Advice: If you're in the DC area like us there are tons of free museums, zoo, etc. Have a few days of learning planned
LOL! I now see Q was advice for Ss, not Ts. Would not ask Ss to clean my house.
I'm interested in creating a Twitter handle for my gr. 1 class. Anyone interested in tweeting with us?
Great idea - inspiration for those "I'm bored...." momentst
that's a great idea! It gives them a starting place :)
Quick pop-in to say good morning to my friends! Advice? Slow down & savor the world around you, it changes so quickly.
That might be interesting! 😄😄😄
That kind of learning is fun! MA has a Free Fridays program all summer for many parks, museums, etc across state
I need to keep a journal since I encourage my students to do it!
Thanks for chatting, friends! Must get this day started now! Make today amazing!
Learning now. Also working on
So true. We tend to keep them too busy to dream and create. They forget how.
I would! My 6th Graders would love to connect & share w/ firsts.
trying to model that w our staff reading Smore this summer: https://t.co/O7X9exUJoe We all need to *make* time, Ts too
Good morning friends. Hope you all are well!
Have a good day everyone! Advice for us: Enjoy then last couple of moments with Ss. We are still making memories & impacting lives❤️
Have an awesome day, Friends! Thanks for being here.
I start out strong at beginning of each summer, but start to fizzle out about 2/3 through. Hoping to make it this year!
I can ask Ts at school - might be a way for me to get them on board with twitter
Good Wednesday morning to you! How goes the search?
My advice to Ss 4 the summer would be to read, go outside and play. Play some board games and just have fun!
LOVE this image! My reading pile is growing exponentially as summer vacation gets closer.
Thanks! You should drop by and we can see each other this summer!
My third grade class is and we would love to connect!
Exciting! Love it! Thanks!
We worked & tweeted w/ a 2nd gr class this yr, big kids loved it
How did you decide on your Twitter handle?
My summer advice for kids: Welcome boredom. That's when creativity happens.
Have a great day ! Gotta get going to make these last 3 days really count!
Have an awesome day friends! Great chat and great advice this morning!
Just read a short article on how it's actually great to be bored. It teaches us a lot! Got to find that link
I'm keeping a sketch notes journal this summer on ways I'm developing my mindset.
there are quite a few classes in that have Twitter and would love to tweet.
My adult summers are still like this!!! The list is long! 📚📖☀️
Thanks! Inspired by 's 100 day project. I invited all 600 of students to journal along with me this summer.
Cool! I just picked up two Google-like cardboards. May test drive it next week.
Summer advice to students: Cook and bake. Following a recipe is the perfect union of reading, math and science.
Am trying to steer my adult summers back to this, !
Good morning gang! Caiti from Ottawa, Ont, Canada here 😉 Missed the chat to see in today 😴 My advice- have lots of fun and READ!!
Today : If you could give your kiddos one piece of advice for the summer what would it be? - https://t.co/jzKPKWGuw0
Tell my Ss every year to try 1 activity/ month. If they don't read-read 1 book. Don't write?-write 1 blog. Not active?-1 Zumba class
Journal summer memories! ☀️📝
for those who can, get a job / real world experience! Great way to learn

. hey Chris, I'm going to do the same with my 5th grade class!
Great news! I look forward to it!
Have fun! Do what you love but try something new. Read what you love, not what you were assigned.
"Good scare is worth more...than good advice." Writer E.W. Howe (1853-1937) via Brainyquote
Yes relax; also stretch self this summer
Passion projects for teachers....one of the many INCREDIBLE ideas from Leadership!
Good morning MST edition!
Remember to continue to learn over the summer through life's curiosities.
You've got this!!! https://t.co/jNzLXMbezl
Have a great day ! Gotta get going to make these last 3 days really count!
Today - If you could give your kiddos one piece of advice for the summer what would it be? - https://t.co/qZlI75hjAk
Have fun this summer & reading is fun, when you grow up you'll have less time to read for fun.
that is such great advice. Great advice for teachers too. I need to bake more.
boredom blooms creativity -it is so important that everyone in the US gets the basics, so we can think on higher levels
I love this. I am going to make one. Thank you for the great quote and image
