A1: Strength, toughness, and perseverance! #cisdtigerchat

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Glad to have you joining! #cisdtigerchat

Hey Cari! #cisdtigerchat

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1I like the word "stickability" #cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:07 PM EDT

Glad to have you! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @burnsangie12

burnsangie12 Apr 11 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A:1 I think "grit" means stripping all the "junk" and getting down "meat" of the lesson #cisdtigerchat

PalazzettiL Apr 11 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1- Teaching resilience! Strategies rock! #CISDTIGERCHAT

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Hey Mac! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @sl_mcpherson

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: Also grit is the courage to grow and change. Even when change is hard. #cisdtigerchat

BrockH25 Apr 11 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Q1: Teaching with a grit means to have a edge about you that everyone knows is real. #cisdtigerchat

TechyKilgore - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:09 PM EDT

I thought the same thing but wasn't sure how to spell it! lol! Good job! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @MrsSheilaWaits

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:09 PM EDT

I like that word too! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @MrsSheilaWaits

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:09 PM EDT

I also think grit has to include small, measurable goals. #cisdtigerchat

NJoyceMath Apr 11 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Stamina to stay with a goal or problem until you have it accomplished. To persevere #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @EdGeekGardner

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT

I think that helps kids keep on keeping on! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @iamsturchie

sl_mcpherson Apr 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1 : Grit....teaching with passion/determination & overcoming the obstacles 🤓 #cisdtigerchat

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Hi Brock, can you explain more? I'm not sure I understand. I'm curious! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @BrockH25

diane_stegall Apr 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT

#cisdtigerchat A1 I think of John Wayne whenever I think of Grit! True Grit is never giving up & able to withstand all odds:)

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Q2:Are you born with grit, or can you teach it to yourself? Can you teach students to develop it? #cisdtigerchat

PatriciaNelle Apr 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Hey y'all! Patsy Nellr here, rollin in from #cubscouts #cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Glad to have you! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @PatriciaNelle

PatriciaNelle Apr 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: to me grit is doing work, even when its tough, you muscle through till youre done! #cisdtigerchat

TechyKilgore - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2a: I think that you can teach it to yourself. I did in 5th grade. Decided to apply myself and qualify for GT...and I did! #cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: I think we are born with a certain amount of grit, but I think it is a skill that can be taught to ourselves and our Ss. #cisdtigerchat

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Grit is something we develop, it's like practicing a sport, takes time, all can develop grit with the right effort #cisdtigerchat

sl_mcpherson Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: I think some are born with grit & others learn through role models/parents and AwEsOmE teachers! #cisdtigerchat

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Q2:born with it. Yes, you can teach students, though. Some students need you. #cisdtigerchat

burnsangie12 Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A:2 personally I think it develops over time, I think all ages can be taught grit even PK .. #cisdtigerchat

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: I think it's both. Personality can play into it but grit can be taught definitely. #cisdtigerchat

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Totally agree! #CISDTIGERCHAT

In reply to @sl_mcpherson

TechyKilgore - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2b: Yes, it can be taught. Don't accept minimum, find Ss strengths, don't give up on a child! #cisdtigerchat

ThePullenator Apr 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: I definitely think it's teachable! I believe we and our Ss can develop grit over time! #cisdtigerchat

diane_stegall Apr 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Q2 I think anyone can develop Grit to a certain extinct, some just more than others #NaturalGrit #cisdtigerchat

BrockH25 Apr 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2: Some people are born with grit but you can definitely teach it to yourself. At an early age I had a coach develop my grit #cisdtigerchat

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Completely agree! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @EdGeekGardner

PatriciaNelle Apr 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

I agree! We can also teach ourselves the opposite unfortunately. #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @EdGeekGardner

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

We DO have to set good examples of this for our kiddos! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @sl_mcpherson

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

With the right effort and explicit teaching or practice! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @MrsSheilaWaits

PalazzettiL Apr 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2- Yes and yes; big in RISD GT classes right now. SHOULD BE IN EVERY LESSON! #CISDTIGERCHAT

PatriciaNelle Apr 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: i think you have a certain amount youre born w/ but it is definitely a teachable skill. Its tough, but can be learned #cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

We have to be careful not to do this! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @PatriciaNelle

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Absolutely, for many we are the only examples they may have #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @EdGeekGardner, @sl_mcpherson

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I agree! It should just be part of the culture of the campus! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @PalazzettiL

NJoyceMath Apr 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Not genetically. We can be taught and develop not letting anyone or anything to stand in our way. Continue on after failure #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @EdGeekGardner

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q3:Why do some students work so much harder and longer than others? #cisdtigerchat

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT

See, I think we are just learning about personality traits. The funniest things can have a genetic link. #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @NJoyceMath, @EdGeekGardner

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: I think Ss that work harder and longer have seen success in their lives before. They know what it looks and feels like #cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Failure is a hard for some of our kiddos! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @NJoyceMath

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Q3- Goal driven. I see my own kid, as an example. If she wants it bad enough, you better get out of her way. #cisdtigerchat

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: 64 million dollar question. It's a combination of so many things. Personality, support, stress, prerequisite skills, etc. #cisdtigerchat

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Alot has to do with home life, expectations, self respect, desire to be successful, lifestyle #cisdtigerchat

diane_stegall Apr 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3-Some students have more Grit than others, some want to please, some are just compliant, and some really want to succeed!👍#cisdtigerchat

BrockH25 Apr 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Q3: Some students work harder because they understand how important education is. A lot of students are lazy for popularity #cisdtigerchat

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Okay just realized I need to put A for answer. See, my own grit? .. learning something new. #cisdtigerchat

PatriciaNelle Apr 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: a lot has to do with exampled that have been set, and role models #cisdtigerchat

ThePullenator Apr 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: They are motivated and driven to do their best. They know what they want and are willing to WORK for it! #cisdtigerchat

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Role models and mentors are huge! #CISDTIGERCHAT

In reply to @PatriciaNelle

TechyKilgore - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: Some Ss are natural perfectionists in all areas and some have grit in certain subjects they're passionate about. #cisdtigerchat

PalazzettiL Apr 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3- Stamina can be taught to a certain extent, but that inner drive is just innate in some more than others. #CISDTIGERCHAT

Drummond_Tigers Apr 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Grit is getting up when you get knocked down. Basically every time they raise the STAAR standards! :) #cisdtigerchat

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: We have to be careful. Some Ss struggle with grit because next step of learning is 2 big a leap. We have 2 find the gaps. #cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

I think passion does play a big role in what we are willing to stick with! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @TechyKilgore

PatriciaNelle Apr 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Please excuse my horrible spelling, I'm on my phone and it's not working like I want #cisdtigerchat

NJoyceMath Apr 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Some Ss have parents who helped we Ts extend their grit from their successes. Ts help motivate focus and achieve goals #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @EdGeekGardner

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Some do just seem to have more than others. #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @PalazzettiL

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Sure, sure! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @PatriciaNelle

Drummond_Tigers Apr 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 Our Top Ten, grit, but a common thread, support at home! #cisdtigerchat

sl_mcpherson Apr 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: I think they have seen true grit from family/role models and see what it takes to succeed! #cisdtigerchat

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Inner drive is a must for success. #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @PalazzettiL

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Passion, yes! But don't forget purpose! Maybe sometimes Ss don't see the purpose. #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @EdGeekGardner, @TechyKilgore

PatriciaNelle Apr 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT

I promise I can spell my own name and the examples! #Nellr #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @iamsturchie

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Q4:So much of what we do can turn students away from learning. What are some potential ways to invite them into learning? #cisdtigerchat

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

That's a great point. Kids need role models! Adults too! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @sl_mcpherson

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

True! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @iamsturchie, @TechyKilgore

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Support at home is crucial. #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @Drummond_Tigers

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:29 PM EDT

My Justin has worked for 3 hrs on prodigy 2night! His drive 2 succeed! Competition! Ts and parent as a team is AMAZING #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @NJoyceMath, @EdGeekGardner

Drummond_Tigers Apr 11 @ 9:29 PM EDT

True grit will also be getting my homework done for Kilgore(task master) tomorrow with 8 million things to do! NEVER QUIT #cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4: I think we need to stay away from things that only drill and kill. We have to make the learning meaningful. #cisdtigerchat

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4 make a connection and make it meaningful. #cisdtigerchat

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4: Purpose, connection, relevance, take the time to show Ss WHY they are learning. Choice in HOW they learn. #cisdtigerchat

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

If I could package up support and love to send home, I'd give it out daily #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @TBoneDrT, @Drummond_Tigers

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

We are in the same boat!!! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @Drummond_Tigers

burnsangie12 Apr 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A:4 know what ss are interested in, use a variety of methods & standing in your head never hurts! #cisdtigerchat

TechyKilgore - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Awe, thanks Steve! I am so happy that you're engaging with the book like you are and learning some new things! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @Drummond_Tigers

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4They must know you care about them! Relationships are crucial. #cisdtigerchat

NJoyceMath Apr 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4: Teach about the brain. It changes and grows w challenge. Dr. Dweck growth mindset is not fixed. Takes effort and time #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @EdGeekGardner

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT

This is so important! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @TBoneDrT

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Oh, best answer thus far! #CISDTIGERCHAT cusdtiger

In reply to @MrsSheilaWaits, @Drummond_Tigers

diane_stegall Apr 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4- Interest, Fun& Applicable, Students have to be engaged to learn...just like a salesman, you have to sale your product. #cisdtigerchat

sl_mcpherson Apr 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4: I think it is all about relationships and communicating with your Ss. Making learning/life skills fun for them. #cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

It always helps to find out what our Ss are interested in. #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @burnsangie12

PalazzettiL Apr 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Collaboration , including them in the process, and knowing what they need/like! #CISDTIGERCHAT

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Teaching is an art and a science. We can't forget the ART. Engagement matters! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @diane_stegall

PatriciaNelle Apr 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: offer a lower threshold for entry and build the difficulty showing Ss they can be successful as it gets harder #cisdtigerchat

ThePullenator Apr 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: Purposeful lessons that connect with Ss! Also, I want them to see me learning and growing! #cisdtigerchat #growthmindset #alwayslearning

BrockH25 Apr 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Q4: Getting to know the student is a great way to help them learn. Students can sniff out a teacher thats not genuine. #cisdtigerchat

PalazzettiL Apr 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4- Knowing their likes and needs; giving them choices; making them a part of the process! #CISDTIGERCHAT

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

I have seen this work wonders in my homeroom this year #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @PatriciaNelle

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4: Be willing to laugh, make mistakes, show you are human. They want to connect with you. Then want to make you proud #cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Q5:Ss become powerful learners when they take ownership of learning. What can we do if they refuse to take that ownership? #cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Build those relationships! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @BrockH25

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5: I think Ss have to have natural consequences for not taking ownership of their learning. #cisdtigerchat

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT

This has been important for one of my special friends. Others think it's my patience but its about letting him be involved #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @PalazzettiL

PatriciaNelle Apr 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT

This is huge! Mistakes are OK! We learn from them. I tell my Ss, "if you never got a problem wrong, I wouldn't have a job!" #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @MrsSheilaWaits

BrockH25 Apr 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Q5: Place them in a position where they must take ownership. Such as team leader for the day or handing out responsibilities. #cisdtigerchat

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5 - be patient. A toddler will be ready to walk, when they are ready. #cisdtigerchat

PalazzettiL Apr 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Never give up on them! Relationships!! #CISDTIGERCHAT

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT

natural consequences #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @EdGeekGardner

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Learning has to be manageable. Start with small goals and build your way up. They have to feel they can succeed #cisdtigerchat

sl_mcpherson Apr 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5: Start with something you know they will succeed and take ownership in and make it a big deal. Maybe then it will stick.#cisdtigerchat

ThePullenator Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: Continue to work with them& encourage them along the way! #cisdtigerchat

burnsangie12 Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A:5 ss who refuse to put forth effort; TT have to not give up ,praise praise, encourage encourage, find anything to motivate #cisdtigerchat

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Be excited about what you do! Celebrate the small things. #cisdtigerchat

NJoyceMath Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: Absolutely. Reminders our greats like Mozart n Darwin were great from passion n dedication to practice n learning #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @EdGeekGardner

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: We have to teach that responsibility & grit in small steps for some Ss. Make sure the steps aren't so large that Ss fail. #cisdtigerchat

TechyKilgore - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: Relationships are key. If you don't pay into the students (or teachers/staff), they will not give their best. #cisdtigerchat

giveawayvyosa Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: Start with something you know they will succeed and take ownership in and make it a big deal. Maybe then it will stick.#cisdtigerchat

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5: And we have to celebrate every small accomplishment while we teach responsibility. #cisdtigerchat

ThePullenator Apr 11 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Yes!! Every accomplishment is worth celebrating! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @MrsSheilaWaits

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Q6:Is there ever a time for grit and a time to quit? #cisdtigerchat

BrockH25 Apr 11 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Q6: What's quit never heard of that word before..... #cisdtigerchat

PalazzettiL Apr 11 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6- This depends on circumstances. As long as you know you tried your best, why quit? #CISDTIGERCHAT

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A6:I think we should ask for grit when it aligns with our end goal. If the task is not growing Ss then it may be time to quit.#cisdtigerchat

TechyKilgore - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A6: As a perfectionist, it is hard to quit. But sometimes, you just have to be done. #cisdtigerchat

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A6Oooo good question... I tell my Ss daily you should give it you all and do your best in everything you do. #cisdtigerchat

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Where was Q6? Still having tech issues. #cisdtigerchat

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A6: there may be a time to quit but its to rare to talk about #cisdtigerchat

diane_stegall Apr 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT

It pays to be a salesman. Kinda like the AR Shirt Celebration. Make it competitive, Fun&Rewarding. Make it a BIG Deal ! #cisdtigerchat

burnsangie12 Apr 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A:6 it's only time to quit if what you are doing is not working! Be willing to admit your failure & try something different #cisdtigerchat

PatriciaNelle Apr 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A5: sometimes theres another adult in their life who knows the way to their heart, involve them (parent, coach, etc) #cisdtigerchat

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

All 4 principals on her tonight. Go Tigers! #cisdtigerchat

MrsSheilaWaits Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

I like this Angie, not really quitting but finding another path. #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @burnsangie12

BrockH25 Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Q6: If anything it's time to adjust but quitting not an option. #cisdtigerchat

sl_mcpherson Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6: Never quit!! You might have to step back and rethink other options. That is when true grit comes in to play. #cisdtigerchat

Dr_SCMiller Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6 Never say never and done, but not complete! @TechyKilgore #wecan #cisdtigerchat

NJoyceMath Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6: If goals change, negative impact health, takes over other values dear to you. Not just tired, frustrated, or disappointed #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @EdGeekGardner

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A6: Yes, there is a time to quit. And I think that it's important to teach Ss to recognize that. #cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT

or if the teacher is doing all of the work! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @burnsangie12

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A6: When the practice is harmful to the Ss, it's time to quit. Otherwise, dig in and work hard. #cisdtigerchat

TBoneDrT Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT

All 4 Principals tweeting tonight during chat! Go Tigers! #cisdtigerchat

ThePullenator Apr 11 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6: I think there are times when a change in direction/focus is needed.That may mean move on or approach the task differently #cisdtigerchat

TechyKilgore - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6: If you are never "done" then you can never move on. You have to have a completion point! #cisdtigerchat

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:50 PM EDT

That's a perfect way to explain it! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @ThePullenator

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Last question coming up...#cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Q7:What's the most successful teaching method you have found for teaching kids to be "gritty" so far? #cisdtigerchat

EdGeekGardner Apr 11 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Sometimes we have to be willing to change directions/focus! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @ThePullenator

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:52 PM EDT

HUGE Amen to that! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @EdGeekGardner, @ThePullenator

Dr_SCMiller Apr 11 @ 9:53 PM EDT

I see your point. Just depends on the person and perception. #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @TechyKilgore

iamsturchie Apr 11 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7: Data notebooks and student goal setting in the primary grades! Ss took ownership of goals for their learning. #cisdtigerchat

PatriciaNelle Apr 11 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6: sometimes you need to move on and come back later, they may not be ready at that moment #cisdtigerchat

diane_stegall Apr 11 @ 9:53 PM EDT
