@Adopt_classroom You advocate for your students and their needs and then you do the best you can with what you have! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom Remind to communicate with parents! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom I greet them everyday with a smile just for them. I let them know how happy in my classroom and that I can’t wait to see them tomorrow! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom Let them know mistakes are part of the process! I model my thinking when I make a mistake! “Oh wow, I made a mistake. That doesn’t look right. I need to try again. Maybe I should ask for help!” This is just an example! But I do it all the time! #LoveLearningChat

@Adopt_classroom My PreK students haven’t been many places in public. They don’t go to libraries, church, the mall, have play dates…They have to learn how to be around peers! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom I learned to keep all activities, lessons, and projects for my students developmentally appropriate! I do not compare myself with other teachers and my students with other classes. We are unique! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom I tell my students’ parents to read to their kids, have conversations, point out letters/colors/numbers when they drive. Play games, go on walks, just spend time together not in technology! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom Items that promote SEL! My PreK students have lives in a pandemic for almost half of their lives! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom Get to know the needs of my current students! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom Let them know I care, be available, partner with parents! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom Get to know that they love and use it! You have to know your audience! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom Getting to know how your students learn and then creating individual activities to support them! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom It means I don’t stop learning myself! I just competed my Master’s degree and I am constantly seeking out PD opportunities that will benefit my students. I also follow other quality educators on social media and use a lot of their ideas! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom My PreK students need items to support their SEL, motor skills, and sensory needs. Books, therapy putty, dolls, puppets, games, ect. #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom This is a great question! I have no idea! Wear fun costumes??? #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom #LoveLearningChat Nope! I teach PreK and only talk about current events if a student brings it up!

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom By getting support from organizations like @Adopt_classroom or by purchasing it out of my own pocket! #LoveLearningChat

[Amanda McCullah @MccullahAmanda]

@Adopt_classroom Fortunately I work in a district that gets Early Childhood! I am going to@focus more on SEL for my PreK students! #LoveLearningChat
