We are a class of third graders who would like to show you what we know, what we are learning and everything we are excited about!

"But a growing body of research shows that the health issues attributed to being fat may be exacerbated — or even caused — by the bias and discrimination too often leveled against fat people." Read @yrfatfriend: https://t.co/FUxzzsbgY3

@MissWright_3rd Mine earn things together like playing a game, recess with another grade level & lunch with teacher. Building the relationship and trust too.

@MrYounts It really is great to see how motivated they are to help each other.

[Mrs.Lester's 3rd @MrsL3rd]

making accountability partners more meaningful: @MrYounts suggested moving desks into smaller groups & these partnerships are the perfect way! As soon as 1 group meets their goal, they will pair up with another partnership to help them. #wsebulldogchat

One of our scoreboards came from @HeidiMertens3’s lesson on accountability-partners. Each partnership has a goal chart & they work together to earn rewards together. classroom climate changer! #wsebulldogchat

A2 Setting goals in my class starts with data folders which have gotten much more specific over the years. One key question I always ask is how... How did you... to help identify the cause/ effect relationship in learning #wsebulldogchat

A1 I just came across the goals we set at the beginning of the year... In reality I’m working on making sure the kiddos see the goal line, the stepson takes to reach it and making sure they have what they need to follow through #wsebulldogchat

I’m committed to not rescuing. #wsebulldogchat

@fourthinfocus I so agree!!!

A3 I read that NASA doesn’t hire anyone who does not have significant hands on experience because that is how problem solving is learned. So I try to give my Ss as much hands on as I can. #wsebulldogchat

A2 I think sometimes our way of adapting is to find the steady middle. Because I’ve seen the pendulum swing from one side to the next and back again; I think sometimes finding the true constant in the midst of change can be more productive #wsebulldogchat

Q1: Ive seen the stress on students, teachers and parents has increase over the years. #wsebulldogchat

My personal life is WAY out of my comfort zone right now and it makes me realize how BIG of a deal it is that WSE is so trauma sensitive.#WSEBulldogchat
