Teacher Tip: When kids have their phones out , I start singing until all the phones are put away. 10/10 no phones in 5th hour yesterday. Turns out, no one likes to hear me sing Emotions by Destiny's Child. Weird?!
Isaac Woodward, Fort Osage: In his first meet since last May, the Fort Osage senior brought home 2 PRs from Bob Thorpe Invitational in Ray-Pec. Woodward took home the victory in the javelin, launching it 210-2, the best mark in the nation up to this point this season.
MY MAN!!!
@BenisonMrs Correct! My daughter has dyslexia and it makes her crazy mad to try and attempt that. How is she supposed to know if its right, if there's not correct answer?!
@sarahxxlarah I like this one. I also have recently shied away from saying "family" and instead say "crew" because sometimes foster kids don't like to identify as "family" with their temporary placements. but every kids is different and it depends on the environment that I'm in.
Instead of saying, "where are you children from?" or "are your kids adopted?" Say, "your family is beautiful/lovely!" "looks like a lot of love going on with you guys." "your family made me smile today" "your kids are precious."
Happy Nation Adoption Day. I'm just here with a reminder that you're not entitled to know our family's story just because we don't match and you feel curious. Every child's story is their own to decide what to do with.
@MrRhodesMD @eduleadership I feel like you're implying that a student on an IEP or 504 1. doesn't understand the content 2. isn't excited to be called on when they know an answer and participate with the class. I can make sure they have an answer correct on their paper before I call on them
@MrRhodesMD @eduleadership Daily. I can point to the answer on your paper before I cold call. I can cold call you to do a "repeat after me". I find that my students who usually struggle love this, they feel accomplished and proud. I can also say, " Sally, I'm going to call on you next, are you ready?"
