Inspired by the brilliantly successful, powerful learning and collaboration opportunity that is the weekly #edchat, #elemchat was created to provide elementary (or primary) school educators with a venue for discussing issues and strategies that are specific to teaching in their context.
Lisa, I love this list! Thank you for sharing. One of my favorite suggestions was for the whole family to set aside time to read. If students see their family reading, it will encourage them to read as well.

Thanks for sharing Cayla! I love to incorporate music into my class as well, especially during our writing time. I like to play classical music at that time because it seems to mellow the students and their writing improves!

Completely agree! In our world of never-ending technology that is so readily available, children need to get outside and use their imaginations!

Hello! I am a nutrition teacher and I love using books while teaching. It is something about the colors and the artistic component of books that kids enjoy #read5305#elemchat
