In reply to @tolleya

MsEmilyHFisher Mar 1 @ 7:06 PM EST

A2: Equal. If ts feel down, ss feed off that negative energy and vice versa. #dojochat

mrshaskell213 Mar 1 @ 7:08 PM EST

A1 Lack of motivation. Its hard for me to do anything when it is cold! I lived in AZ for 25 years so this is still new to me! #dojochat

I_teach_Pandas Mar 1 @ 7:09 PM EST

did I mention it was 87 degrees today and I was no where near a beach...... ugh #dojochat

Q2 #dojochat

smithstrws - Moderator Mar 1 @ 7:11 PM EST

A2 I think it affects us the same. If I'm "blah" they are double "blah." #DojoChat

jellison23 Mar 1 @ 7:11 PM EST

a1 Teachers in CA are all #dojochat

TheBrudneyBunch Mar 1 @ 7:12 PM EST

A2: I think that both are affected. However, Ss can really perceive if you're feeling blah. Your attitude definitely affects them! #dojochat

mrshaskell213 Mar 1 @ 7:12 PM EST

A2 I feel like it affects me more! The kids don't seem to mind the cold and snow. The only thing they miss is outdoor recess. #dojochat

CaitEileen_W Mar 1 @ 7:12 PM EST

A2 Equal amounts of blah call for lessons that get both the Ss and Ts pumped! Time for hands on, student centered #dojochat

ChrissieJMcLean Mar 1 @ 7:12 PM EST

A2: My energy drops SIGNIFICANTLY in the winter. Ss feed off our energy & so I see a lot more “issues” pop up. #dojochat

MrsASoto Mar 1 @ 7:12 PM EST

A2 I believe the winter blues affect my students more. I feel like it is MY job to shake them out of that "blah" feeling. #dojochat

smithstrws - Moderator Mar 1 @ 7:12 PM EST

Jonnai2 Mar 1 @ 7:14 PM EST

A1: Exhaustion #dojochat

Tamarsb88 Mar 1 @ 7:14 PM EST

We've had insanely warm winter weather in Boston! The kids love the warm recesses! Also a week off in February helps #dojochat

ClassDojo - Moderator Mar 1 @ 7:14 PM EST

Loving the use of GIFs during this #dojochat... speaks louder than 140 characters!

MsEmilyHFisher Mar 1 @ 7:14 PM EST

A2 I think it affects all of us equally! If I'm feeling off, then so are my students, and vice versa #dojochat

tolleya Mar 1 @ 7:14 PM EST

A2: I think Ss feed off of me. That's why I always try to greet them at the door and make them feel welcome. #dojochat

MrsASoto Mar 1 @ 7:14 PM EST

A2 We just finished our mid-winter break. It was much needed, but touh getting back into the "groove" of things. #dojochat

mrshaskell213 Mar 1 @ 7:15 PM EST

A2 Part 2 I can thank my Ss for keeping me motivated in the winter! Without them I may just sit on the couch all day #dojochat

TheBrudneyBunch Mar 1 @ 7:15 PM EST
