@Jess5th This is amazing - thank you for sharing! This is exactly the deep thinking and support I need to communicate my first log-less year to my families at Open House this year.

@karianneholt I didn't after my first year or two - it became automatic to get into swear-free teaching zone. But earlier in my career I'd start to swear and change the word as I caught myself. Usually "Sh...shoot."

@beautify_life Agreed! So many exciting writers to celebrate!

[Vanessa Ouellette @NessaOuellette]

@tmowtx I completely agree! I feel like the application process gave me so much more than I was expecting. It helped me clarify goals, showed me an amazing community of writers, and provided huge support and motivation.

[Vanessa Ouellette @NessaOuellette]

@JustinRColon I'd love to know! I'd be fine with public or private, depending on what's easiest for you.

[Vanessa Ouellette @NessaOuellette]

@JustinRColon Thank you so much for this thread. This is exactly what I needed to hear today. So grateful for this community and for all of your thoughtful, hard work.

[Vanessa Ouellette @NessaOuellette]

@MissNikkiIn5th It's just one step building trust and open communication. It's not enough on it's own but it definitely helps. And it lets kids define what to share about their lives. I heard the idea from a colleague who probably got it from here: https://t.co/xhs00aELNA (2/2.)

[Vanessa Ouellette @NessaOuellette]

@MissNikkiIn5th I've had better luck with a weekly "I want you to know" assignment. In class, students have 10 minutes to privately write down anything they want me to know. It's private and it gives me great information. (1/2.)

[Vanessa Ouellette @NessaOuellette]

@jilltataraworld @tmowtx @JustinRColon It was really exciting to do this with other people and know we're part of a bigger community. Yay for PB writers! #PBChat

[Vanessa Ouellette @NessaOuellette]

@JustinRColon I learned that I'm making progress. I have lots to learn but I'm writing. Revising. Getting feedback. Taking risks. Every step matters.

[Vanessa Ouellette @NessaOuellette]

@JustinRColon Getting back to some of my works in progress. Naming my goals in the application gave me a push to dust off some older pieces and get writing.

[Vanessa Ouellette @NessaOuellette]

@mrs_cmt1489 Agreed! @joboaler has amazing resources for teaching students that math is not about memorized facts. It's creative, flexible, and visual. Her website is incredible and I especially love her mindset videos. https://t.co/vwwkuBeVvx

[Vanessa Ouellette @NessaOuellette]

Thank you @heisereads! This is a fantastic collection. Looking forward to sharing them with my students.

[Vanessa Ouellette @NessaOuellette]

@LaurieECarmody Thanks! This is a great idea. Good luck everyone! I love being part of the #PBChat community.

[Vanessa Ouellette @NessaOuellette]

Congratulations! Lots to celebrate.
