[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

First day of school was a success! Jefferson staff was ready and excited to start the day! In Spanish & Heritage, students made name tags to get to know each other & practiced being asked questions instead of given answers when they asked me questions #sd129learns

[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

@TerriShepard20 Thanks for coming!

[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

Lots of good questioning ideas from @Jolene_Smith2 in her #summerpd129 session. I really liked the idea of responding to an answer of "I don't know" with "When have you seen something like this before?" to keep the dialogue going. Making posters for my room from her ideas.

[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

I could only attend #summerpd129 for one day this year, but it was great. What's for dinner session with @karmstrongwahs and Katie Phillips was so fun and everyone LOVED the food we made! It'd be fun to get with other staff to meal prep together! #westisbest #wahsfoods

My 1st exp with #NTPRS @ntprs2019 was so affirming. Every DAY was amazing. I got to be a student. Feel the magic of learning. To understand so quickly. I'm shy but met like minded people like @senorjordan who want to love, learn, enjoy all Ss. I left overcome w emotion. Wǒ kū😢❤️

[MiddleSchoolMaestra @valinemoreno]

Her energy, sense of humor, and experience inspired me! Can’t wait to implement some of these activities! @SarahBreckley #ntprs2019

Greeting students gets kids 27% more involved in academic engagement. From a D+ to an A, wrap your mind around THAT. @BryceHedstrom #password @ntprs2019 @TPRSbooks #ntprs2019

[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

@senorawashburn @ntprs2019 @TPRSbooks Thanks for sharing! There were too many sessions I wanted to go to at the same time.

[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

"Your students don't know the teacher you wish you were. They know the teacher you are." I think this will be my new mantra. @senorjordan was so fun and hilarious talking about and teaching how to use novels! #NTPRS2019

[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

At the end of class....Students don't leave until this procedure is over.
T: "Clase, gracias por aprender."
S: "Gracias por enseñarnos."
T: "Es un placer."

Using secret passwords may seem exclusionary, but they are a way to include, acknowledge, & notice students, increase engagement, and more. All before class starts AND in the target language! Great session at #NTPRS2019 by @BryceHedstrom

[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

So excited to be able to attend #ntprs2019 this week! Day 1 in the #beginnertrack learning mandarin through comprehensible input was incredible! #ci #biliterateblackhawks

[Kaylie Breaux @kaylie_breaux]

Learning mandarin today!!! WOOT! #ntprs2019

[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

@techingin @ChallengeLearn @mcikesh @lbeatus129 Thanks! That sounds fun! I've never taken a session, just heard about it.

[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

My takeaways from today's @ChallengeLearn session. I'm excited for the next 3+ years! #makeadifference129

[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

A2: I think the best use of tech happens when it is student driven. Otherwise, getting to know students & tailoring to them, giving them the choice sometimes between paper/tech, & evaluating what the true learning is that you want to happen. Sometimes, paper is best! #SD129chat

[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

I've used social media to find ideas, learn new things, and make connections for my classroom. Recently, my class puppet has created an Instagram account to share about her adventures with students. They love it! #SD129Chat

[Dawnn Petersen @MrsPetersenJMS]

My #Spanish1 students are having so much fun with this! #TiaBeckyJMS and #JobeJMS are "twins" from Puerto Rico. This weekend it's Jobe's turn to travel. #biliterateblackhawks
