Important! I would love to invite those big questions and open dialogue in a healthy way. 💭

From an #EL’s perspective, I tell you, it’s a beautiful feeling when you learn to pronounce a new word in a new language...and it’s even better when the sounds connect with your brain and you understand the word. 🤯

Getting ready for a new week with this in mind:

[Cornelius Minor @MisterMinor]

Reminder. ♥️

[Elise Schack @MissSchack]

Last week I was sure that I needed table caddies for my groups to work effectively. But this week we are going to be switching into table pairs.

My take away? Continue to be flexible and make choices for how my students learn. Even if the cute caddies are now irrelevant. #edchat

Things to say at Curriculum Night:
*I love your kids!
*We are a team.
*I'd like to try ___, but I'd love your feedback as we go.
*I think ____ makes kids love reading and school.
*I want your kids to feel happy while they are here!

What would you add to this list?

Celebration moment of the day: thinking that reading isn’t something we like to do until we find a good fit book! #langislit #edchat

Our classroom made a sunshine to show the rules of the class that we co-constructed. The rays are each of our signatures, signing in agreement. Without everyone together, our sun wouldn’t be as bright!!

Shameless first year teacher plug! I made an amazon list for my first classroom!

I am grateful for all the support from my PLN as I enter the teaching field. I have grown so much through Twitter and can’t wait to keep growing! #edchat #clearthelist

I am going to check in with my kiddos feelings and emotions every day this year! How am I going to start?

I am SO excited to start out the school year today with my third graders today! I can’t wait to learn alongside them this year 🤗
The best first day is in the books!

[Elise Schack @MissSchack]

This is so important!

[Teaching is an art... @TMikaTeaching]

As someone who appreciates structure, I am all for teaching kids routines and procedures on the first day of school. However, I'm all for teaching them authentically.

[Elise Schack @MissSchack]

My Twitter teacher mentors, I need some advise as I am looking into grad schools. What program do you recommend for TESOL (hopefully online)?

We went SO many places this summer! We celebrated by reflecting on how we went “Out Out Away From Here”, but happily returned back where we started. #ENL #edchat

[Elise Schack @MissSchack]

Proud of my students! We read a wordless book, Mirror by Jeannie Baker and worked as authors to create sentences to match the illustrations.

[Michael Bonner @MichaelBonner_]

Yes, words do matter.

As educators, I hope you understand there are students who see this monstrosity happening right now in society.

Through our pedagogy we can either reinforce this current system or raise up a group up leaders who will make the world better.
