Welcome to #d100chat! Today we are celebrating the people who support us, and the wonderful things that you are doing in your classrooms!
Introduce yourself!
Good Evening! Jean, Principal at EME, coming to you from Tweetdeck tonight:) Will be glad to catch up on the positive vibes and celebrations ! #d100chat#d100inspires
Hi everyone! Mariana Nicasio, principal of @KomenskyLions!! I am very happy to be here tonight surrounded by the warmth of our D100chat on this cold evening!! #D100Chat
A1: I like to be a light for EVERYONE by sharing positive VIBES. It can be simple as a smile, "how are you?" and sharing FOOD #komenskymatters#d100chat
A1: Everyone needs positivity and encouragement in their lives whether they are staff, students, families, and even principals!!! Just saying "great job" or "I really liked how you..." can go a really long way and bring a smile to our faces! #d100chat
A1: #d100chat. This time of year can be stressful both prof and with families. Listen to each other. Be there for each other and focus on what you can control @KomenskyLions#KomenskyMatters
A1: We can be a light for others when we take a step back and make uninterrupted time for those who want it. The greatest moments that we have with our staff, students, and family is when we can BE in the moment. #d100chat#d100inspires
A1: Being a light for others sometimes just requires an ear for listening, a shoulder to cry on, or even a small moment for laughter. Being present for all. #d100chat
A1: Being a sounding board, providing honest, constructive feedback, being empathetic, and valuing what individuals bring to the group #d100chat#d100inspires
A1: I like to be a light for EVERYONE by sharing positive VIBES. It can be simple as a smile, "how are you?" and sharing FOOD #komenskymatters#d100chat
A1: being the light for my students means helping each one find their strengths and their worth in the classroom—every one should know they are valued each and every day. #d100chat 🏆
A1 I think we can be a light for others by celebrating the accomplishments of others, both big and small. A kind word and positive/constructive feedback both go a long way, especially when they are genuine. #d100chat
A1: You can be a light for others by being positive and smiling. Listen to each other and be encouraging. Be someone that makes other people's day brighter.#d100chat#hiawathapride

A1. Kindness has been the theme at @HiawathaSchool this year. One simple word can mean so much and have a lasting impression. You can never be too kind. #hiawathapride#d100chat

A2: TY to @jg_jgarrett for giving me the opportunity to reflect today! TY for allowing me to see all we have in place and celebrating and learning from our amazing team! #d100chat#d100inspires
A2: Any job in the field of education can be draining and exhausting. There are definitely days that my own light dims a little. But it may be a smile, a thank you, a hug, or an amazing note like this that reminds me of my "why" and gives me the encouragement I need. #D100Chat
A2: This holiday season is tought for my family and I, as it's our first without my dad. I appreciate all the support from my #hmsfalcons family and the kind words/smiles from around the district. You make my light glow brighter even on the gray days. #d100chat
A2: Engaging others in conversations about our goals have helped rekindle my flame! It always helps to reach out to colleagues for a reminder of our "why". #d100inspires#d100chat
A2: @MrsSarahEnger, you have been a light for me this year. You hear my ideas and then provide some constructive criticism. THANK YOU! #komenskymatters#d100chat
A2) Sometimes the random comments from the students, a kind word from a parent, a little surprise on your table by a colleague, your students being successful makes a big difference when your light is a little dimmed! #d100chat#d100inspires#hiawathapride#orgullohiawatha
When my light dims, I really value honest conversations and thoughtful nudges that will get me back on track. If those conversations are combined with a cup of coffee or a piece of chocolate, even better. #d100chat
A2: I also like the positive shout outs we give or hear from our staff meetings. Its good to share and celebrate everyone on foggy days #komenskymatters#d100chat@mariana_nicasio
A2: @mariana_nicasio allowed me time to openly reflect on my passion and practice which has made me a more productive and confident educator. ❤️ #d100chat
A2: Hiawatha teachers have made me feel super supported this year by making me feel welcome in their classrooms and planning conversations. I am learning so much from them! #d100chat#d100inspires
A2: This year I’ve experienced different challenges. @laurie_mccann was a light to my week and knew just how to get this T feeling good. I am so lucky to have admin as my cheerleaders 📣#d100chat
A2 Students always brighten a light that's dim. I flip through scrapbooks, reread old notes from students, and visit kids in classrooms to help me re-center my purpose. #d100chat
A2: Sometimes the smallest gesture of caring can make all the difference. The support that has meant the most recently has come from reminders of my why. Thank you @BerwynSouth100#d100chat#d100inspires
A2: Thoughtfullness goes a long way. Knowing that someone thought of me brightens my day. Whether it be a note/gift/story from a student or a conversation with a Hiawatha teacher friend.🤩#d100chat
A3: These smiles from tonight brought me a big smile! Love their new shirts that they designed. Good luck to @Mrs_Coalson & team on Saturday at their first Robotics tournament of the year! #hmsfalcons#D100chat#d100inspires

A3: 6th grade ELA kiddos are working on a research project about Chicago history! They are being diligent with finding credible sources so they can teach us all about their topic. It's great to watch them discover and learn through their self directed work. #d100chat
A3: I am one proud teacher of these twenty-one individuals who problem solve, communicate, and act as a family EVERY SINGLE DAY! #komenskymatters#d100chat
A3) My students have been doing an amazing job enjoying their English Time and connecting our Non-fiction reading and writing and learning about habitats! My teacher heart is very full! #d100chat#d100inspires#hiawathapride#orgullohiawatha
A2: simply posting this question @leahod provides support. It caused me pause and reflect on all the support I receive without even realizing it ... and be ever so great full!! #d100chat
A2: my biggest support group—my students. There’s not one day that goes by where they don’t give me a reason to feel that I’m making a difference. I have 21 lights that brighten my days 💙#d100chat#HiawathaPride
