@EAlbrecht77 A7: #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @ktbhiggins The most important part of becoming a Wild Card is the engagement that happens as a result with your students. Learning takes on a whole new meaning when students are engaged!
@ktbhiggins A6: #20wildcardgpde@ktbhiggins @EAlbrecht77 I found my students loved science experiments during distance learning last spring. I hope to do more of these in our live sessions or even recorded for them to watch.
@EAlbrecht77 A5: #20wildcardgpde@ktbhiggins We love building each other up and celebrating successes! In our classroom we have chants, classroom celebrations, special claps, presentations, and a wall where students can post any work they are proud of! Love when they light up from each other!
@EAlbrecht77 A5: #20wildcardgpde @ealbrect77 @kthiggins When my students reach an individual goal they have set, our entire class stops what they are doing and we do our class cheer. It doesn't take a lot of time, but the students beam from ear to ear every time!
@ktbhiggins A4 #20wildcardgpde The relationships I make with students are what motivate me every day to be the best I can be for them. All kids deserve the best in order to help them to become their best :) @ktbhiggins @EAlbrecht77
A1: innovation & creativity is key! if we’re remote, throw on some fun costumes/create an entertaining theme each week. encourage them to join in! same goes for hybrid. don’t let you students feel the stress, keep inspiring! try new ideas & make the most of it! #20wildcardgpde
@EAlbrecht77 A1: Dare to be different. Even of we are in a distance learning model, we need to continue to look for fun and interesting ways to engage our students. Whatever you do, do it with passion! #20wildcardgpde
@WinkelsKinders @EAlbrecht77 @ktbhiggins@K_T_Bee Yes you do Ms. Winkels! Working next to you I know how much time you put into your students, and while I think you are an amazing teacher, I'd hate to see you burn out! You would be just as amazing even if you'd step back a little and you'd be there longer for your students :)
@kaylasegura7@ktbhiggins Ugh!!! That's a hard one to overcome! Keep being you and try not to compare yourself with them, even though it can be difficult at times. Best of luck to you! You got this :)
@ktbhiggins#20wildcardgpde Hands down - TIME!!!! I have no problem coming up with ideas and implementing them, however, it's hard to do that AND have a personal life ;) My boys are only young for so long, my priority is them right now, followed closely by my career.
@kaylasegura7 @EAlbrecht77 You definitely have me interested in this! What a great idea! I really missed the classroom community feel when we were distance learning, so this has me very intrigued :)
