I’ll look to continue creating video for students to use as resources to go back to. #bfc530

What is one strategy you started using during remote teaching that you will keep when school finally returns to "normal"?

Does anyone know if the following are Ed 2D law compliant? @khanacademy @PearDeck @GetKahoot @ProdigyGame @DreamscapeEDU

Is this too obvious to point out? As challenging as online teaching has been this year, we've done it on a foundation of in-person relationships we spent seven months building in real classrooms. Next year we may not be working off that foundation.

Great teachers make it look easy…. but they actually work really hard at it. Excellence never comes without commitment and sacrifice.

This article is a great read considering our current state of teaching.

@Kathie042500 I’m going to setup @Flipgrid to offer students a chance to ask any questions or share activities they are doing while at home.

Students start to see that: 1.) not everyone responds to every situation the same way. 2.) There is a lot of “gray” area in life. 3.) Easy way to correct behaviors without calling out/singling out students. Really opened up some good discussion.

[Mr.McGrath @ShenMcGrath]

Looking for a Character Ed discussion with your class? Try Rude, Not, or Depends. Have the class come up with scenarios that occur in their everday lives (no names). Collect and read out. Have students decide whether it was rude, not rude, or depends on the situation.

[Mr.McGrath @ShenMcGrath]

Tried Question 1 today from Notice and Note by @KyleneBeers and @BobProbst. The responses were fantastic! Definitely will continue this with the students! @strakat12 #teachhingatshen

Students trying out the new mini desks we received from the Dolphin Dash. These #skanodolphins approve. #teachingatshen

Yesterday, #skanodolphins in grades 3-5 had Dolphin Day. Students were awarded for showing good bucket filling behavior during lunch, discussed upcoming important dates, and introduced the new character word for February- volunteerism.

[Skano Elementary @SkanoElementary]

This morning, the #skanodolphin Chorus and Orff Ensemble performed in front of the whole school. Please join us tonight at 8:15 in the cafeteria for the full performance.

Listening to @KingJames Train Your Mind lessons on @calm with my students and some questions popped up for King James:
1.) What age did you start meditating?
2.) How often do you meditate a day?
