Closing: I think that we really embodied the "Better together" portion of our motto. We worked together to make it through a tough year, from wearing masks to extra deep cleaning to having to rearrange our entire schedules, the teachers and students have been rockstars! #wcedchat

A4: I really hope that the students take home a sense of independent creativity and can use their knowledge of art as not only a fun activity but also as a relaxation or coping technique. #wcedchat

[Rylee Munch (Stovern) @RyleeMunch]

A3: I have learned to be much more flexible in my lesson planning and how to really have the students take charge of the cleaning and organizing in order to keep my classroom somewhat organized! #wcedchat

[Rylee Munch (Stovern) @RyleeMunch]

A2: We did a lesson based on Kelsey Montague and her #whatliftsyou movement. It's really put into perspective things that you can be grateful for, even during the tough times, and we've had plenty this year! #wcedchat

A1: I plan on attending a few virtual workshops that the National Art Education Association put in place over the summer! #wcedchat

A5: Always be approachable and friendly! Offering help where needed or a listening ear. #wcedchat

[Rylee Munch (Stovern) @RyleeMunch]

A4: Always being kind and respectful to my coworkers. Whether that be something small like a good morning or having positive conversations helps keep those relationships going! #wcedchat

A3: I don’t get to have as many parent interactions as a specials teacher, but I do communicate through email, as well as when I see a student in public I make sure to address their families, introduce myself and talk to them briefly about how much I love their kiddo! #wcedchat

[Rylee Munch (Stovern) @RyleeMunch]

A2: Take lots of breaks (especially virtual) to talk with the students, get to know them and their personalities! #wcedchat

[Rylee Munch (Stovern) @RyleeMunch]

A1: Building relationships means having a mutual respect for each other! #wcedchat

A4: My favorite Chef is Guy Fieri. I love how enthusiastic about his career and other Chefs he is. I strive to be that kind of enthusiastic to my kids. Constantly building them up and providing constructive criticism when needed to help them reach their goals. #wcedchat

A3: If the first recipe for success does not work out, we "remake" or practice until we get the recipe right. My students also work towards a Reward day, which helps a lot of the time with getting the Recipe right! #wcedchat

[Rylee Munch (Stovern) @RyleeMunch]

A2: Recipe for success... Having a set of procedures in place that the students do every day. If those procedures are being followed we get to have fun and be goofy during class, which the students love! #wcedchat

A1: My favorite Holiday recipe is my Homemade Banana Bread! I used a recipe from https://t.co/VM8YoElWVX as my base, and add in my own little flare. I usually end up making 12 -15 loafs for loved ones and neighbors for Christmas! #wcedchat

A5: Buying someones lunch, bringing them a sonic drink, or simply just saying "Thank you for all that you do!" #wcedchat

[Rylee Munch (Stovern) @RyleeMunch]

A4: We have a "Thank You" wall where we can write notes to people saying why we are thankful and we hang them up in the lounge! #wcedchat

[Rylee Munch (Stovern) @RyleeMunch]

A3: By choosing my words wisely, using positive words and statements versus negative. Simple changes in word choice have a huge impact on your attitude! #wcedchat
