A6: One student told me once, "When I entered your classroom on the first day of 5th grade, it felt like home." That says a lot. #scitlap

Ouch. This is why I try to cut the OCD details: e.g. Yes, your name needs to be there, but I don't care where! #scitlap

A7: The balance is first winning with relationships and then getting them to the skills. The content is a bonus. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Jul 5 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A7) the relationships help me teach the content. #scitlap

HowardKiyuna Jul 5 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A7: Some of my Ss are challenged academically. They brave so many challenges on so many fronts. We can't learn w/o relationships. #scitlap

Stella_Pollard Jul 5 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A8: Always wrap it up with reflection. What did we learn? What did we do? Why? How can we apply it? #scitlap

A8 a stunned look, it's over? But there is still so much to learn!! #scitlap
