Had a great time at Relay for Life Friday night! Thank you for everyone who was on Teach Cancer a Lesson! We were able to raise over $1,000 to help find a cure!💜

Thank you to everyone who participated in tonight's #ECTEACHES chat! Enjoyed hearing about student involvement with everyone! We invite you to check out our @EDDeptEtown programs, including one of our newest programs @MPeacebuilding!

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

Thank you @KCapLiteracy for leading this chat! I loved hearing everyone’s ideas and being able to help facilitate discussions! #ECTEACHES

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

This is so important!

A2: My students engage with the content in various ways. I love to use technology, when applicable, and have students complete tasks through various apps such as @Flipgrid, @padlet, and @ChatterPixIt! #ECTEACHES

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

A6: As a new teacher myself, I would love any advice from anyone. I think keeping an open mind and staying positive is always a good tip to keep in mind. #ECTEACHES

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

@Miss__Richard That’s a great idea!

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

A3: I find it challenging to keep all of the students together. The kids all learn at different paces and some need more time to think about what they want to say or discuss. #ECTEACHES

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

@KendraStrickler That sounds great! And free is always a plus!

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

Does anyone have good activites for the beginning of the year to help students learn more about each other and become more comfortable? #ECTEACHES

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

A5: Getting to know your students and create a classroom of respect and rapport helps the students feel safe. This will help the class feel more comfortable when participating. #ECTEACHES

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

@Miss__Richard @nearpod @PearDeck I agree that many students will appreciate they can be anonymous.

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

A4 part: My school uses “hero tickets” the students can earn when they are engaged and participating as well as for good behavior which seems to help motivate my class. #ECTEACHES

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

A4: I always find talking with other teachers about different resources helps me think of new ideas. #ECTEACHES

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

@miss_youngr1 I agree! Especially when you have to keep to a strict time schedule!

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

@shannonhmize In my elementary classroom, my co-op and I have given play-dough to our students to fidget with while we are having a teacher-directed lesson.

[Miss Weeks @Miss_Weeks19]

@MissWilkinson06 I agree! I think it’s important to find that balance between different types of learning activities for all learners.
