When you work with great teachers you get to show off! Today we tore into @KGainerteacher, @cortega2468, and @KellyGilstrap01’s Twitter accounts to get inspired around incorporating rigor, relevance, and technology. #leadered #achieveit #edchat

@AchieveItEd A3. Getting to know your Ss is so important and is key! Also, building a classroom community where everyone is treated like a family! Starting everyday with morning meeting and letting Ss have a voice are ways I accomplish this. #Achieveit

[Kelly Gilstrap @KellyGilstrap01]

@AchieveItEd A2. I serve the majority of the ELL Ss in my grade level. I love having such a diverse classroom! I think it’s so important to make ALL Ss feel welcomed, loved, and included. Taking the time to listen and learn about my Ss and their backgrounds lets them know I care. #Achieveit

[Kelly Gilstrap @KellyGilstrap01]

@AchieveItEd A.1 Equity is giving students what they need in order to be successful. Equality is treating every student the same. #Achieveit

Great read by @MasonVenola as she highlights our #QuadDIdeaLab as a wonderful opportunity to witness Quad D Learning in action and spark ideas for creating Quad D Tasks for students! #blendedlearning #leadered

Bringing a play kitchen into my #kindergarten classroom is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! The amount of creative writing, social skills, and cooperative play that happens here each week makes my teacher heart so happy! @MRESCougars @CcsdCares @CherokeeSchools

[Kelly Gilstrap @KellyGilstrap01]

We had so much fun #coding our #beebot to retell the story of the Gingerbread Man! #STEM #boldschool #LEAPeffect @dailystem @CherokeeSchools @MRESCougars thanks @Jurnack1 for letting us borrow them!

Celebrate every tiny victory.

It may be a child who doesn’t read, but recognized one letter.

It may be a kid who doesn’t like school, but smiled this morning.

It may be a student who got 7 wrong, but got 3 right.

Celebrate & CELEBRATE BIG.🎉
