@KingJames Hi! I am a teacher in my district’s alt school. I coordinate guest speakers to visit our kids. They would like you to visit our school for our next motivational speaker. Would you consider talking to our amazing kids?
Things that make sense in my @PostMalone themed classroom part 3. You get a Postie paper doll to send on a world tour each time you pass a mastery test in @edmentum Look how full the map is! Lots of student successes displayed.
Things that just make sense in my @PostMalone themed classroom part 5. My Postie prize machine. You get a quarter for every unit test passed w 80% or higher. Almost empty, wahoo! That’s why they always say congratulations…
Things that make sense in my @PostMalone themed classroom part 4. You get a concert ticket for every Unit test passed or credit earned. The board is surrounded. The kids did a GREAT job this year.
The Pew Research Center found that teens say the most important factor for them to feel motivated to write is using it as a way to connect with, and receive feedback from, teachers, family members, and friends (Lenhart et al., 2008). #writingdevelopment
By third grade, children's writing starts to display a "writing via conventional spelling" stage where their work resembles adult spelling. #writingdevelopment#elementarywriting
Early writing starts with silly and colorful marks before becoming meaningful text. Once it becomes meaningful AND fun, children want to keep writing! #earlycreativity#elementarywriting
