@MelissaHibbitts @fosterbkay It has been a pleasure. You are a great teacher!

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@fosterbkay Really don't know. My favorite part of Rcemt has been meeting other teachers and learning from them. I hope to still see y'all at workshops!

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@fosterbkay Yes but it is bed time for busy star stressed teachers.

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@fosterbkay Working with a new student fresh from Mexico. He is a great student & mathematician.

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@fosterbkay Listen with an open mind..be willing to try new ideas. Don't find fault with others ideas.

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@fosterbkay Be so good at it that everyone wants on the band wagon. Really, when we see that something work others start asking what you are doing.

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@SachioPetit @fosterbkay I agree. Change us hard but so very necessary.

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@fosterbkay We need to keep our style of teaching up to date with the students. I can't be afraid of change. I need to stay up beat & always be a teacher who encourages my students.

@TanyaQuisenber2 @fosterbkay Ms. Berry brought donuts today. That is always nice.

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@KatieMcOmber @fosterbkay I do lots of celebration in my classroom, anything from prizes to high fives.

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@fosterbkay Really interested in what other schools do. We have done pie in the eye to a teacher, will have parties for students. Would love other ideas

@fosterbkay @AlexKajitani Hi, it is raining in Memphis, with thunder!!!!

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@fosterbkay I need more open ended questions, more visual, more math talk by my students

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@kylevannoy yes! More thought on my part when planning

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@fosterbkay wow to much to fit in a tweet. I've changed from all worksheets to lots of activities

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@fosterbkay guess TTM, I'm open for suggestions

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@fosterbkay some will shut down. That's why our job is so so important

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@lrhassler @SelfTeri @fosterbkay some do shut down, takes patience to get them to explore & think

[Mary Lowry @MaryLowry10]

@fosterbkay this is what I use to think, my mind is changed. Let them experiment & play with ideas before teaching.
