My goal is to be better at this first thing in the morning. I do well during passing periods but when the day starts...not so much. #edu638

This is good, proactive classroom management: A 2018 study found that strategies like greeting kids at the door improved academic engagement and good behavior. A piece I edited for @edutopia. #WelcomingWorks

[Ms. Kottwitz @MsKottwitz]

Loved this! All students get what they need out of the lesson whether it be an added challenge or extra teacher support. #edu638

@carter1kinder Yes! Each one is so special and unique...I love getting to know them all! #edu638

[Ms. Kottwitz @MsKottwitz]

Yes! I sometimes feel like I only hear from a few students, this would help me to hear from them all! #edu638

Important for both teachers and students to remember! #edu638

Finally! There have been so many times when I run out of characters for a question. #edu638

@carter1kinder My school started focusing on SEL last year! We are still learning how to best teach it and incorporate it into our classrooms, but it is so important! #edu638

[Ms. Kottwitz @MsKottwitz]

I love having math puzzles in my classroom! Gets students thinking about math in a fun way. #edu638

[Ms. Kottwitz @MsKottwitz]

Great get-to-know you activity to get students more comfortable with each other. #edu638

Already thinking about next school year? If so, here is a fun offline icebreaker activity! Scavenger Hunt: Get Kids Talking on the 1st Day of School https://t.co/7vseClOBVj (resource included) #edchat #UKedchat #EdchatEU #AfricaED #education

[Ms. Kottwitz @MsKottwitz]

Interesting point. Finding resources outside the textbook is so important for student engagement and understanding. #edu638

[Alice Keeler @alicekeeler]

Superintendent emailed me. Here is his signature line.

Expecting a kid to learn only from a textbook is like asking them to look at a travel brochure and calling it a vacation.

[Ms. Kottwitz @MsKottwitz]

Thinking about ways I can implement this into my math classroom! It makes grading less of a burden for me and makes feedback more meaningful and effective for students. #edu638

Love the idea of playlists. Gives students more choice in their learning! #edu638

@KellyHelgoth Yes! Building that confidence early in math is so important! #edu638

[Ms. Kottwitz @MsKottwitz]

@missbuhr How neat! Icebreakers can get old so spicing them up with technology is a great idea! #edu638

[Ms. Kottwitz @MsKottwitz]

@mrsandersonSPS Good point! #edu638

[Ms. Kottwitz @MsKottwitz]

Talked about this issue in my Critical Issues class a few weeks ago. Interesting perspectives to think about. #edu638

[Education Week @educationweek]

Should school funding be separated from property taxes? One think tank thinks so: https://t.co/Da6DxP4Uw9

[Ms. Kottwitz @MsKottwitz]

Great to keep in mind. Don't make students do things that have no purpose. #edu638

Teaching students to not fear failure but learn from it instead is so important. #edu638

Might have to look into this book by @Catlin_Tucker . It was recently recommended to me by one of our district's technology experts. #edu638 https://t.co/L52nSkfbXi
