A7: it’s ok to make mistakes, teaching is mentally exhausting but so worth it, use the knowledge/advice of those around you, don’t get sucked in with the negative Nancy’s, try new things, you were hired for a reason and you belong where you are so believe in yourself #mschat

Q6: I had a graphic design friend make me some canvas designs with my favorite quotes on them for my desk area! It’s personal abs special to me. Gotta love Michael’s and craft stores too. #mschat

@ScholesE15 @MrChlebowski We also love the “tootie ta” dance. It’s ridiculous, but hilarious!

[Emily Raper @EmilyKRaper]

A5: silly dance breaks, stretches, would you rather questions, turn/talk get to know you questions for S’s, I always set a timer to make sure we stay on track! #mschat

[Emily Raper @EmilyKRaper]

@MrChlebowski Ugh! No rotations stinks-but you can definitely use online tools!! As long as they’re working together, that’s a good thing!!

[Emily Raper @EmilyKRaper]

A4: S’s can collaborate on shared docs and online assignments, think pair share either on paper or turn/talk, can they rotate to stations around the room? #mschat

[Emily Raper @EmilyKRaper]

A3: I am always honest and tell them yes or no and then explain why we are doing the activity (purpose) #mschat

Joining #mschat late, but I made it! Emily Raper from Tennessee!

[Emily Raper @EmilyKRaper]

A5: also have to reread and keep it in the forefront of my mind! There’s so much going on for teachers, it’s easy to let things slip to the back burner! #mschat

[Emily Raper @EmilyKRaper]

@matthewjmoulton Thank you!

[Emily Raper @EmilyKRaper]

A5: inspires me to share the paper with my colleagues to ensure best practices for all kids at my school, not just the ones I teach! #mschat

[Emily Raper @EmilyKRaper]

A4: @ScholesE15 is incredible with student voice! I wish I had her as a teacher when I was in MS #mschat

[Emily Raper @EmilyKRaper]

@Beyond_the_Desk Kids love a good challenge—especially one that’s attainable!

[Emily Raper @EmilyKRaper]

@cmt215il Most choose typical “test” format because it’s what they’re used to. I don’t do it every time either...but when I can!

[Emily Raper @EmilyKRaper]

A3: Allow kids to submit in different formats (verbal, written, mult. Choice, drawing, etc.) #mschat

[Emily Raper @EmilyKRaper]

Joining late! Emily from Cleveland, TN. 7th ELA!! #mschat

Two hour delay for all @clevecityschool and our central office this morning. Buses will run on the delayed timeframe. Mixed precipitation is falling as are temps. Better safe than sorry!

Y’all, I need you to know something. The role I have today—author & featured presenter, started w/ a speed learning session at @AMLE 4 years ago. @DruTomlin_AMLE talked to me after, & that led to more opportunities w/ AMLE. I’m so grateful. Dream big. And see each other.
