@DaileySuzanne I am definitely interested in learning how to best structure time with my ‘buddy class’ this year. My third graders love it and look forward to it, but I’d be interested in learning how to really make the most of that time to foster cross grade level connections. #cbsdpd

@KutzKallelis @Kutz3rdGrade @DaileySuzanne @CBjtownsend @MIF4Educators I love this idea. Spending a few minutes with my colleagues during lunch often gives me th brain break I need to return to the afternoon a little more refreshed. Students AND teachers need this! #cbsdpd

@CarrieMuir4 @DaileySuzanne It’s apparent that your students respond positively to you and your teaching. The time you take to connect with each student throughout the year makes a big difference!

@CbKkeck @Kutz3rdGrade @DaileySuzanne Good point! Current students notice those details and a little reminder that you may have made a positive impact on a former student doesn’t hurt either! #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne Considering this quote, I realized there are some students who clearly feel like they GET to be in my classroom, and others who feel like they HAVE to be. I work hard to keep those kids who ‘GET’ it feeling it all year, and try to lift other students up every day. #cbsdpd

@Kutz3rdGrade @DaileySuzanne It’s a great idea to explicitly discuss character traits during class meetings. Thanks for this! My students enjoyed using the book 365 Days of Wonder to reflect on strengths, goals, and connections this year. #cbsdpd

@CB_JFlanagan @SidelinkerQUEST @DaileySuzanne @CBGrovelandEl Thanks for this idea. Connecting with kids during a nonacademic time of day and first thing in the morning is a great way to show you care and get to know your students. #cbsdpd

@DaileySuzanne Wade & Hope’s four E’s of engagement: All are so critical, but my focus will be on environment. I love the idea of room transformation based on content. Can’t wait to learn more about that and apply it this school year... keeping the classroom updated and relevant is important!
