@RiceCISD @GinnyBowles with Ginny bringing some laughs!

I was pleasantly surprised that the state of Texas used scenes from Man on Fire to teach me how to be a better teacher! #teachlikeCreasy

@Megan_Caldwell7 I am SOOOO PUMPED! I was telling some friends who work at the Methodist school about it and they want to come check it out!

[Mr. Gasper @Mr_Ga5per]

@jonbeadle I'm trying to get better. Growth tweetset!

Q8: I think inspiring creativity through play and imagination is so important for our kiddos. I want to constantly try to find the fun in whatever content we're learning, and I want the same for my Ss. #Ricecrashcourse

[Mr. Gasper @Mr_Ga5per]

@bsheranko I love this and totally agree. They need to be allowed to let their unique selves out in our classrooms!

[Mr. Gasper @Mr_Ga5per]

@codyjbearden @MusicalMarla I totally agree! I am inspired every year by her work with her Raccoons!

[Mr. Gasper @Mr_Ga5per]

Q7: @jguerrasoto1 I admire your love and respect for your students. You speak into their lives and they listen! You know how to get through! I really appreciated your voice in my classroom this last year! #ricecrashcourse

@Jeff20047082 "Say what you mean. Mean what you say. Think about the words that you're using." Moody Blues!

Q6: One way we can be intentional is by getting to know our students and then tailoring our teaching to fit in their outside interests and their personalities. Makes any feedback more personal! #Ricecrashcourse

@skor0127 Eating together! Shared food = instant community!

[Mr. Gasper @Mr_Ga5per]

Q5: I think a powerful way to build a spirit of encouragement and support in our classroom is to use partnerships in reading and writing, and teach the students how to be a powerful partnership. #Ricecrashcourse

[Mr. Gasper @Mr_Ga5per]

@mrsracheljames I know from all of the positive things 4th graders have to say about you that you're accomplishing this for sure!

[Mr. Gasper @Mr_Ga5per]

Q4: I would like to be remembered as inspiring, creative, kind, and fun. #Ricecrashcourse

[Mr. Gasper @Mr_Ga5per]

Q3: A way I like to promote positive thinking is through smiles. It's hard to be :( when you smile! This is why I sometimes make 4th graders smile at me before logging a complaint at recess. Even a fake smile can disarm, distract, and brighten a situation! #Ricecrashcourse

[Mr. Gasper @Mr_Ga5per]

@TanyaNull So true! And I love that you're always positive! Makes meetings fun!

[Mr. Gasper @Mr_Ga5per]

@feagilin I loved this too. Probably a little too much, if you asked my teachers.

[Mr. Gasper @Mr_Ga5per]

Q2: I really enjoyed make believe at recess with friends (McGuyver, TMNT, Batman, Beverly Hills Cop, Ghostbusters, etc.). I try to incorporate make believe all the time with special celebrations or FBI agents. Makes my day fun, too! #Ricecrashcourse

@GonzalezBBRice My cousin did the same thing! She loved to kick me and my brothers out of her "kingdom."
