RIP to Dr. Harry K. Wong, who dedicated his career to writing and speaking about classroom management strategies that keep students engaged and on-task. His book The First Days of School, which he co-authored with his wife Rosemary, remains an indispensable contribution to the canon of K-12 education.

@MrsAuthenticAmy I know a certain 5th grade teacher who plays #schoolhouserock videos daily for work time! The kids and the teacher sing along 🙂

@gregtangmath Just started reading this as my teenage son is an introvert!

@MrsAuthenticAmy I’ve provided a list of texts per individual study students who I think could challenge themselves with reading. I also math game and sometimes parent tips on upcoming math units. 🙂

Do what you need to do to take care of yourself. When we take care of ourselves, we’re better able to take care of others. #edchat

Scaffolds are meant to be TEMPORARY.

Otherwise, we'd still be looking at the Statue of Liberty like this...

It's no different for learning.

Scaffolds were meant to be used & then eventually taken down.

@MrsAuthenticAmy Totally agree! Why @epic4kids?

[Kelly Weimer @KellyWeimer4th]

@MrsAuthenticAmy There is a teacher I follow who does something similar. She calls it Life Skill for the week ie: writing your address. She focuses on one a week. It’s made me think a lot about my responsibilities as a teacher vs parents’.

@MrsAuthenticAmy I’ve also used paper clips. I keep them in one pocket and then each time the “action” happens that I’m tracking, I move a paper clip to the other pocket. It’s easy to do 🖇️
