@MichelleNock1 @MrsBHolden @fawnpnguyen I'll have to check this one out as a mom of a middle school boy that is in Geometry.

@HGreene_R202 @MrsBHolden @CanvaEdu @HGreene_R202- I'll have to check this out. I'm slowly getting better with Canva since I started working with it last year.

@KaitlynKokal @MrsBHolden @KaitlynKokal this is a great idea to practice citing credible info and to question what they see. As a mom of teen boys... this is a lesson that I appreciate!

@PEwithCoachJC @MrsBHolden @PEwith CoachJC this is an awesome idea. My boys are cross country runners and soccer players. I am constantly sending them links to running programs that help increase speed and also high protein diets to help with muscle gain. This is a great idea for a lesson.

@MrsBHolden I find that teaching Science and Social Studies standards in Kindergarten are the hardest because of lack of appropriate tools and support. Social Media can be used to find ideas for student engagement while following set standards in developmentally appropriate ways for KG

@HGreene_R202 @MrsBHolden @HGreene_R202 I have a private facebook group just for my class. I take videos of them learning so parents can see strategies in action and use the same academic vocabulary and support/structure at home.

@MichelleNock1 @MrsBHolden @MichelleNock1 as someone that just finished National Board Certification... this is a huge part of the National Board process. I wish I had done it years earlier and I highly encourge you to look into the process. The rewards both $$$ and professionally are worth it.

@KaitlynKokal @MrsBHolden @KaitlynKokal I also love finding new resources for engagement. I loathe doing the same thing year after year.

@HGreene_R202 @MrsBHolden @HGreene_R202 I appreciated your social media post on recognizing your son's diagnosis with diabetes. It was so helpful as a mom to know what signs to look for including the importance of listening to your mom gut. You have a voice and a platform that should be heard.

@tucker_carri @MrsBHolden @tucker_cari--- don't forget mom of soccer superstars!

@MrsBHolden I am a 21 year veteran Kindergarten teacher, Wife to a fellow educator, and mom of 3 boys. I am excited to learn new things but feel very confused with twitter chats and twitter as a whole. #ConnectIn5

Tomorrow is a big day in Kindergarten! We are going to use our STEAM skills to trap a leprechaun and use a map to find the leprechaun's gold! #Connectin5
