A1 Collaboratively! Simple 😉 #SquiggleParkEDU

edtechSAE - Moderator Aug 25 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 #SquiggleParkEDU Ss create our community rules during the 1st full week. We spend time having Ss model these behaviors They all sign them

TeachPreziosi Aug 25 @ 8:07 PM EDT

I look forward to meeting my new students. One way I learn is by having them complete a Reading Interest Survey. #SquiggleParkEDU

squiggleparkedu Aug 25 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Teachers join us #squiggleparkedu over the next hour to talk about building your classroom community #K12 #edchat #BackToSchool

TeachPreziosi Aug 25 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 We complete this task together as a team. I also establish statements to honor throughout the year as their teacher. #SquiggleParkEDU

squiggleparkedu Aug 25 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@TeachPreziosi what kinds of questions do you ask? #squiggleparkedu

global_crusader Aug 25 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Hi there - Richard from Halifax, NS Canada. I teach gr. 6 French #SquiggleParkEDU

edtechSAE - Moderator Aug 25 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Now for question 2... #SquiggleParkEDU https://t.co/p31qVdKGyD

squiggleparkedu Aug 25 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@edtechSAE do any of the activities involve parents or if they are mainly just to build community with the Ss? #squiggleparkedu

TeachPreziosi Aug 25 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Q's regarding genres/types of reading materials, reading strategies they use, and their interests/hobbies @squiggleparkedu #SquiggleParkEDU

global_crusader Aug 25 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 engage the Ss in as many sharing circles/restorative practises as possible. An opportunity for all to find our places #SquiggleParkEDU

ekquill Aug 25 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: I like ice-breaker activities to allow students to learn more about each other. #squiggleparkedu

edtechSAE - Moderator Aug 25 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 #SquiggleParkEDU scavenger hunts Ss sign each others sheets, building activities, solving secret msgs in groups, playing @GetKahoot team

ekquill Aug 25 @ 8:17 PM EDT

It is easier to build a community when the members take the time to learn about each other #squiggleparkedu

julia76 - Moderator Aug 25 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@edtechSAE @GetKahoot this is a great idea! #SquiggleParkEDU

ekquill Aug 25 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@edtechSAE i love the scavenger hunt idea #squiggleparkedu

TeachPreziosi Aug 25 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 I love to establish our text talk time/discussion. We use hand signals such as ✌🏼️ when you want to share something new. #SquiggleParkEDU

squiggleparkedu Aug 25 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Come great answers for Ts about first week activities to build a classroom community #BackToSchool #squiggleparkedu https://t.co/vr55W4EoKl

Question 3 up next... #SquiggleparkEDU https://t.co/YGN0Mpd8de

edtechSAE - Moderator Aug 25 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3 Ss not coming 1st week of school, managing new behaviors, remembering to notice and applaud good behavior consistently #SquiggleParkEDU

julia76 - Moderator Aug 25 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@edtechSAE @squiggleparkedu in prek kids can come in with very different ideas of what is respectful #SquiggleParkEDU #BackToSchool

global_crusader Aug 25 @ 8:27 PM EDT

In establishing an equitable learning environment, many of my students have not yet been empowered with a voice! #SquiggleparkEDU

TeachPreziosi Aug 25 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3 Overall, the transition from summer can be challenging. Learning routines and becoming comfortable in a new setting. #SquiggleParkEDU

julia76 - Moderator Aug 25 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@global_crusader it's so easy for them to lose confidence fast if they don't come in on an equal footing #squiggleparkedu #BackToSchool

squiggleparkedu Aug 25 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@edtechSAE How long does it take before you feel like the tone is set at the start of the year? #BackToSchool #k12 #squiggleparkedu

ekquill Aug 25 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3: a strong emphasis on testing in older grades might make it harder to find time for building a community #squiggleparkedu

katiegillivan Aug 25 @ 8:31 PM EDT

#SquiggleParkEDU I use classroom meetings throughout the year as a way to help give students a voice and express themselves

squiggleparkedu Aug 25 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Confidence is so important! #squiggleparkedu https://t.co/o5HIMO9tDu

Question 4... #SquiggleParkEDU https://t.co/6NZ1xv94Yp

katiegillivan Aug 25 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@edtechSAE I do goal setting with the students to create personal and learning goals #SquiggleParkEDU

ekquill Aug 25 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@squiggleparkedu I agree about the importance of confidence. Also Ss should see their teachers as learners too #squiggleparkedu

edtechSAE - Moderator Aug 25 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A4 Jobs: My fav a buddy to new Ss, then the usual office, clean library, etc. Have "EXPERTS" 4 diff. #edtech tools we use. #SquiggleParkEDU

global_crusader Aug 25 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A3 I rely heavily on collaborative learning and paired #pbl each S have responsibilities to themselves and to each other #squiggleparkedu

squiggleparkedu Aug 25 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@katiegillivan @edtechSAE how do you explain to young ones what goals are + their value? A concept that is hard for some. #squiggleparkedu

katiegillivan Aug 25 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@edtechSAE Job chart that rotates - librarian, calendar helper, messenger, line leader, lunch helper, story helper #SquiggleParkEDU

squiggleparkedu Aug 25 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@ekquill I love seeing teachers as learners! It is great when there is an opportunity to swap roles. #squiggleparkedu

TeachPreziosi Aug 25 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A4 All students take ownership in the organization of our room's resources, even properly charging and storing iPads. #SquiggleParkEDU

squiggleparkedu Aug 25 @ 8:38 PM EDT

#squiggleparkedu so many clever ideas to empower students! #BackToSchool https://t.co/u7hWeoVqlO

squiggleparkedu Aug 25 @ 8:41 PM EDT

Showing that we all impact one another is an important concept. Helps builds empathy #squiggleparkedu #BackToSchool https://t.co/3yDiCQiTDg

Question 5... #SquiggleParkEDU https://t.co/uhQS4rCk4R

katiegillivan Aug 25 @ 8:42 PM EDT

#SquiggleParkEDU sometimes it is the little things that matter like saying "we" instead of "me" and "you" :)

julia76 - Moderator Aug 25 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@squiggleparkedu this is so true #SquiggleParkEDU

TeachPreziosi Aug 25 @ 8:49 PM EDT
