Just in case anyone was wondering, we have the greatest principal EVER. @Angel_Bateman is a blessing and gives unconditionally. @JWEKaty is so lucky to have you!

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@AngieBirk T Q1: There are so many to choose from! I would like to help my kids work on their soft skills, as well as work healthy debates into our everyday lessons to work on their critical thinking skills. These skills will definitely be able to be honed online! #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@AngieBirk T Q3: This year has already challenged me to think outside of the box. No matter what happens, I will continue to push myself to provide the best opportunities to learn and grow. I can't wait to see what this year holds! #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@AngieBirk T Q2: My AHA was the reminder to lean in and take a chance. Mistakes will be made, but everyone will learn and have fun in the process. #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@Ms_SparkmanJWE Ch 9-11 A3: I can grow as a colleague through communication and working to find everyone's strengths. If we play to everyone's strengths, then our team will become more unified and cohesive. #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@Ms_SparkmanJWE Ch 9-11 A2: I am able to grow as a teacher through reading and PD, but also by reflecting on where I need to work as a professional and seeking out those who have the skills that I am lacking. Some of the best PD is in my hallway! #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@Ms_SparkmanJWE Ch 9-11 A1: My barriers this year are fear of what this year will end up looking like and making sure that I am able to provide what each kiddo needs. I have been and will be relying a ton on my team as we navigate these new waters! #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@MrsCooper2020 @JWEKaty Ch 8 Q3: I make an effort to check in with my kids and find out what makes my kids happy on a regular basis to keep them engaged. I use their names, favorite teams, hobbies in word problems. I try to keep track, so that everyone feels valued. #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@MrsCooper2020 @JWEKaty Ch 8 Q2: I try to remind myself that we all bring gifts to the table. When I find myself leaning towards comparison, I reflect on the fact that everyone is on their own path, but ultimately we are all in it for the kids! #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@MrsCooper2020 @JWEKaty Ch 8 Q1: I show authenticity in the classroom by being an open book with my kids. I share what is going on with my family and videos of my dog and daughter. I also share my hobbies and interests with them. #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@ComeauLC Ch 7 A3: You have to have the bar set high from day one and push yourself and your students to meet that bar every single day. If you begin to accept "good enough" that bar slips, and so do your students! #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@ComeauLC Ch 7 A2: I agree with the "ingredients," but I would add that you need to build the relationships first! #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@ComeauLC Ch 7 A1: I absolutely agree with the Rules of Rigor! I especially think that it is important that everyone must participate--no sitting on the sidelines! #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@MsHuerta_JWE Ch 5-6 A3: My goals for this year are to make sure my kids feel loved and supported through all this craziness. I also want to create a classroom where my students are able to laugh and find joy each and every day. #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@MrsZhangJWE @MsHuerta_JWE Girl, you are going to ROCK the math world!

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@MrsSchauer Ch 5-6 Q2: This past year our team pushed our boundaries and created Harry Potter Day. I want to push myself to do more "transformations" this year. #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@LeVrier_JWE Ch5-6 Q1: I think that I am in the creative zone. In the last year I have felt comfortable to take chances in my classroom. I am always finding ways to keep the kids engaged and having fun while learning. #jwewildcard

[Laura Shapiro @ShapiroJWE]

@lisalklein C4 A3: I strive to make my classroom my student’s second home. I work to keep things fun and exciting, so that they buy into what we are learning and never want to leave. #jwewildcard
