Hey @MrCsajko and team #mdeschat! Greg- K, #TeamFelegy. Excited at the social growth of one particular student over the last couple of weeks. Positive strides, indeed. Hope all are well.
Good evening #mdeschat! I'm Evylyn, AP at PEW. Every day I thank the opportunity to be part of a community of Global Leaders that are learning Spanish and can communicate with me. How's everyone? I'm ready to learn!
A1. Maybe some "day to day" little people emergencies like a little scratch or a lost lunchbox ;) Sometimes sharing with a parent or a community member #mdeschat
I have done standard jump rope w/ my K Ss and 5th graders who come to recess as we are wrapping up. They always find it fun that I can jump rope. #mdeschat

A2. You need to be intentional to ensure both areas receive the time/attention they need. Since my husband and 2 daughters are teachers; we decided that Saturdays are for the family or anything that we need to do together. It might as simple as watching a movie #mdeschat

A2: I used to use the summer for twice as much work as I completed during the year. Now, I shut down jussssst about everything. Social Media included. #mdeschat

Leaders must learn to function in two worlds (macro/micro) and empower leaders to lead and communicate important info. in the absence of the principal. The machine must continue to churn. #mdeschat

A3. Always check my emails when I wake up, write a checklist of "To do things" and highlight those that are priority and non-negotiables (keeps me in track), set a short goal #mdeschat
Matt from CA crashing into #mdeschat. I like to have a list of things to do that are waiting for me at the start of my day. That way I can hit the ground running!
A3: Since I was 8 years old I have written a "Top 5 Things To-Do" list of the most important things that NEED to get done. Have been doing it ever since. #mdeschat#mydadstilllovestellingthatstory
All, I have to step away as I am now at a choir rehearsal in prep for a Saturday concert with a steel pan group at my church. Enjoyed the dialogue! Have a great Friday and weekend on purpose! #mdeschat
A4: Communicating the purpose of a transition is helpful for students. Keeps us focused on why we are changing/moving and it increases efficiency. #mdeschat
We need to monitor behaviors better. If we need to give instructions and they are still touching the material...say "Hands up, Hands out, Wiggly Hands" whatever regains focus #mdeschat

A4) I find that routines help with transitions. When the Ss know the routine it makes it easier for the Ss to get through the switch quickly. #mdeschat
and praise the positive behavior no matter how small it may be..."Woah Jaden had his eyes up and ears ready the fastest ive seen today! Awesome!" #mdeschat
transitioning will always be difficult. However THIS is where we lose time. Use a go-pro, stop watch, whatever you need to do to analyze where time is lost. Then scheme. #mdeschat
A4. I made two big circles on my gym floor for the Ss to walk at the end of class to help with the transition of a new group of Ss coming in. #mdeschat
A5. Compared to when I first started as an admin, there are many tools that save time, substitute system, used to have to call people, BIG time saver #mdeschat
A5: Google Docs and Hangouts are great tools for meetings. These tools allow participation off site and create buy-in as well as accountability measures for follow through. #mdeschat
A5: I use an app called "TurboScan" so I can use my phone to take a picture of a document and make it into a pdf. I can email right from their. #mdeschat
