A5: more intentional grade level collaboration days each week this year #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Aug 3 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Going from 1 grade level to another, it amazes me how different each grade level works. I think we need more collab across school #3rdchat

A5: Tough Q. Collaboration with people of a different mindset is certainly not easy Would have to be very intentional with purpose. #3rdchat

itrachtenbarg Aug 3 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@LannySaretsky Ss can type a story in docs or input data in sheets and then use @Seesaw to narrate it or explain their findings #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Aug 3 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@MrRussoRH That encouragement and opportunities go a long way. :) #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Aug 3 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Sometimes relationships you have can actually make some feel as an outsider. I think we need to be mindful of that. #3rdchat
