https://t.co/ltsW6oOSJd Is greater relationship effectiveness and successful collaborative working really as easy as ABC?

[Ashley Shaw @MsShaw252]

@JessicaSlobodz3 @EAlbrecht77 @ktbhiggins Absolutely! Love that! I am definitely guilty of comparing myself to other teachers! Not any more!

[Ashley Shaw @MsShaw252]

@WinkelsKinders @ktbhiggins @EAlbrecht77 I have a whole window of resources that I have opened today that I want to save! Be careful, it is addicting! 😆

[Ashley Shaw @MsShaw252]

@AllySmumn @EAlbrecht77 @ktbhiggins This is so so true! We have the greatest and most rewarding career! ❤️

A7: Not letting the joker win! Also, embracing the "jitters" that come with trying new things and challenging myself to overcome the obstacles in order to be the Wild Card for my students each day! #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee

[Ashley Shaw @MsShaw252]

@EAlbrecht77 A7: #20wildcardgpde @ktbhiggins The most important thing is to find what works for you and be personal in your teaching and classroom! Step out of your comfort zone, spark engagement, and make learning impactful! Be the Wild Card!

[Ashley Shaw @MsShaw252]

@AntonsonNicole @EAlbrecht77 @ktbhiggins Thank you! :) They each have clips so students themselves can clip what they would like to share up on the board!

[Ashley Shaw @MsShaw252]

@MeganTrantow @ktbhiggins @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee Yes! I am excited about trying a hyper-doc too this upcoming year! Hoping it makes everything easier for parents with being in one place!

[Ashley Shaw @MsShaw252]

LOVE this!

[Taylor Johnson @astat32]

@EAlbrecht77 A5: When students finish tests and have free time I like to set out thank you cards. I encourage students to write a thank you note or a positive note to a teacher or student to help get in the habit of recognizing others. #20wildcardgpde

[Ashley Shaw @MsShaw252]

Yes Ellen! We call our class a classroom family as well! We truly are and I love the relationships and comfort that is built within our classroom because of it! ❤️

[Ellen Wu @TheKdgTeach]

@EAlbrecht77 A5: In my classroom, we call our class our "class family". As a family, we love making mistakes together, trying new things together, and learning together. We make the promise to encourage, affirm, and support each other daily. #20wildcardgpde

[Christina McNulty @ChristinaMcNul9]

A4: My "why" reminds me how important it is to create a consistent, loving and engaging environment for students who may not have the same luxury at home. #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 @K_T_Bee

[Ashley Shaw @MsShaw252]

@ktbhiggins A4: #20wildcardgpde @EAlbrecht77 I teach because I want to be impactful in my students lives and build meaningful relationships with them. I want them to grow a love for learning and want to be at school! I love our classroom community we build each year! ❤️

[Haley Morse @haleymorse22]

@EAlbrecht77 @ealbrecht77 @K_T_Bee A3: Energy has been the most challenging since I find it hard to consistently bring an upbeat and positive energy every day. I can overcome this by making time for myself so that I can be there for my students. #20wildcardgpde

[Ashley Shaw @MsShaw252]

Great reminder! Leave all troubles at the door each day! Our students are sponges of our energy and attitude!

[Mr. Babbitt @MrBabbitt1]

A3: My biggest challenge is energy. Let’s face it...teaching can be exhausting at times. We all feel it. But if we want our students to be energetic and excited about learning, we need to bring it every. single. day. Teach each day like it’s the best day! #20wildcardgpde

[Ashley Shaw @MsShaw252]

@EAlbrecht77 #20wildcardgpde @ktbhiggins A3: Expectations have been challenging for me and is what I worry most about with doing classroom transformations! Consistency is key, hold class accountable even on the hard days, don't lower the bar ever or it will be harder to get back!

[Ashley Shaw @MsShaw252]

@KristiSchwartz1 @ktbhiggins Yes! Our 1st grade team is very close and like to do a lot of planning together! I know some of them will not be up for transformations and doing things a little differently... but you never know until you try! 😝
