@JennRegruth I need to do that!! Thanks for the reminder. Very new to this Twitter thing.

@reillysusan1 @plnaugle You are right. Standards are importnat, but not the MOST important!

[Kay Riek @RiekKay]

@ncarroll24 I would say that our local level gets it :)

@DaraKappel We are jumping into it this year. A little nervous to be honest.

A5 #4thchat If only the powers that be encouraged teaching the child above teaching just the standards.

A4 #4thchat Set the climate to where deep thinking is the norm. After Ss get a taste of how good it feels to really think--they thrive on it

[Kay Riek @RiekKay]

@plnaugle My lessons change during the same week! Can't imagine a whole year! Long range goals, yes. Specific plans, no.

[Kay Riek @RiekKay]

@plnaugle Me too!! It is my 19th year, but same philosophy. New students every year means new strategies.

#4thchat A2 Model, model, model!! Ss need to see that you have different ways to solve problems, too!!

#4thchat A1 Relationships are so important!!

Life comes with lemons. But we don’t have to suck on them.

A5 @JennRegruth Great point about stress reliever. I am amazed by the level of anxiety in Ss. All classrooms need a Maker space. #4thchat

@ncarroll My room is pretty small, but I think to start a table or even a couple of desks in a corner would work. #4thchat

#4thchat A3 I would love to have a space for circuits and electricity exploration.

[Kay Riek @RiekKay]

@ncarroll24 Thank you! I plan on joining in with you tonight.
