I had the opportunity to speak with a teacher from Newcastle, England and learn about her teaching styles! What a neat experience learning the differences and similarities in education across the world! I even got to see pictures of her classroom!

These two have encouraged and supported me in everything I’ve done this year. I am so thankful for them! @MsMollyMckenzie @mssmeltzer_

The classroom should be a positive environment! @ASCD discusses “A positive environment is one in which students feel a sense of belonging, trust others, and feel encouraged to tackle challenges, take risks, and ask questions.” Loved the article! https://t.co/banfEryh8t

@SteeleThoughts has such an amazing view on education and what it really means to be a teacher! I look forward to his tweets every day!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I believe all students want to be successful. I believe teachers who view themselves as the most important variable in the classroom have the biggest impact. I believe teachers are stronger when they collaborate. I believe administrators should support and reinforce the process.

[Molly Mckenzie @MsMollyMckenzie]

@SteeleThoughts I agree!! Thank you for your input on education and what it means to really be a teacher! I look forward to @SteeleThoughts tweets everyday!

Today @MsKerkvliet and I taught a conjoined lesson on unit conversions!! We can’t wait to have our fourth graders do more hands on activities with measurement next week for our other lessons!!

“You matter and what you have to offer the world matters.” This is my cooperating teacher’s favorite quote, and it has stuck with me! Be an inspiration today and everyday!!

[Emily Grissom @missegrissom]

Today, we learned a little about forces in motion!!! It was so much fun to learn about these different activities that are super fun and informative!! I cannot wait to utilize these in my unit about forces in motion!!
