Welcome to tonight's #scitlap chat! Don't be scared, but tonight's theme is MONSTERS! Who are you and what are you being for Halloween?

Please use Q1/A1 format and don't forget to use the hashtag #scitlap. Welcome!

I teach 7th grade science in MA. I'm thinking of being a skeleton for Halloween. #scitlap

Hey #scitlap! Just jumping in! Hannah, 5th grade Math & Science from Raleigh, NC. I love my 5th grade "monsters"!

@ohwowmrspowell Hi Hannah! You, me, and @burgessdave so far! Thanks for coming. #scitlap

burgessdave Oct 5 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@burgessdave Thanks! Good to see you here too #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Oct 5 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: In 5th grade, our Ss switch classes. Instead of calling it a cubby we refer to them as "lockers." Pre-teaching responsibility! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 5 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 I believe every S has to find their system. We can only give strategies. For me, dumping out the backpack is the first step. #scitlap

A1 I use a binder as well a a checklist, so the students can be accountable. Lots of modeling #scitlap

ohwowmrspowell Oct 5 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: It's all about enthusiasm and personal relationships. Give specific feedback & praise, but also challenges for growth. #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 5 @ 9:12 PM EDT

a2 #scitlap I'm hoping a stronger shift to #pbl and labs, some #makered influences ignite ss to want to excel not check boxes

ohwowmrspowell Oct 5 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: Seems like when Ss get those personal connections, they are empowered to #AimHigher and strive for more "home runs" #scitlap

ElemSciTchr Oct 5 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: We use pictures a lot - clean locker/backpack/desk and snap a picture. Print and post where Ss can see it. Good for elem. too. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Oct 5 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@Jdalgety22 Yes, I model this all of the time. I feel like if I need some time to organize they do too. We are a team #scitlap

BroCstart Oct 5 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@ohwowmrspowell so true! I'm trying hard this year to keep relationships strong! w/o that, everything else flops. #scitlap

A3: Also the shock value - teaching on table tops, wearing mouse ears during mini-lessons...big fan of the "hooks" @burgessdave! #scitlap

@PerkyScience Brillaint idea! Could tie in a lot of ecology, bio, and earth sci! How did the planets compete? #scitlap
