My brilliant and creative coworker, @Mrs_CohenNBJH decorates the windows of our 6th grade hallway. She fills this space with powerful daily affirmations for students and teachers. What are some words of affirmation that have made a difference for you? #28Empowers #RLR593

[Cassi Wojewnik @Woje_Learn]

So proud of my friend, Stephanie! She made the hard decision and moved from her role in admin to be back in the classroom. Give her a follow, and hear all she shares about life, health, and being an educator. #RLR593

[Stephanie Smith @eduhealthy]

Finally getting back to blogging and sharing weekly some of what I’ve learned and reflected on moving from administration back to the classroom. This week is all about approaching each other with empathy.

No matter how many copies I add to my library, Small Spaces by Katherine Arden is one I cannot keep in stock! What are some of the titles that fly off your shelves? #RLR593

[Douglas Fisher @DFISHERSDSU]

Let's share some #teachertips! What books do your students love in your classroom library?

So proud to be a part of this district that offers such memorable experiences for those 6th grade students. Thank you to everyone that helped make OE such a success! #RLR593

Always looking for ways to improve as a teacher! Even a little change can make an impact on a student. #culturallyresponsiveteaching #RLR593

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

How do you include culturally responsive pedagogy in your practice?

These ideas from educator @ValentinaESL won't take a ton of time – but they do go a long way in making sure all Ss feel seen & heard!

One of my goals each school year is to help foster a love for reading in my students and create life-long readers. #makereadingfun #RLR593

[EdSurge @EdSurge]

Steve Gardiner is an established expert on Sustained Silent Reading (SSR). Encouraging his students’ love of reading was an effort to extend his curious nature to them—an effort that, after 4 decades in the classroom, paid off. (2019) #education #reading https://t.co/WRBf0R3IM2

[Cassi Wojewnik @Woje_Learn]

The power of formative assessments! Always looking for ways to make them more engaging and purposeful #RLR593 #stickfiguredrawing

Student's don't need superior artistic talent to draw as they learn. Teachers can model ways for students to demonstrate their learning, and use the results to assess content knowledge.

One of the greatest joys of being a teacher #RLR593

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

A reminder via T @JaimeChase17: Even on the days when you can't feel it, you're making a difference.

Embracing cultural authenticity to improve school enviornoments #RLR593

Author @dangemeinhart came to visit NBJH today and shared such a positive message with students. #writeon #thehonesttruth #authorvisit @ Northbrook Junior High School https://t.co/roiWyVw0ux

Thank you Mrs. Susmel for taking the time to come to NBJH and talk to 6th graders all about chocolate. We learned so much from your presentation!#fairtrade #TheChocolateCollection #Savagebros.co https://t.co/o8rp1lKicj

[Cassi Wojewnik @Woje_Learn]

One of our classroom jobs is to be The Wrapper. At the end of each class, it is this student’s responsibility to summarize what we learned that day. Today in 3/4 LA, The Wrapper wrapped up class with a creative rap… https://t.co/y2AtCwR30Z

Q2: In the coming year, I plan to use Seesaw more frequently as a platform to help students practice their digital communication skills. Having students comment on the work of their peers and build on ideas is also a positive way to use technology in the classroom. #innovate28

[Ronit Shapiro @RonitShapiro]

Q2: What types of experiences can you facilitate in your classroom so students can practice their digital communication skills? @CommonSenseEd #innovate28

[Cassi Wojewnik @Woje_Learn]

@RonitShapiro @CommonSenseEd A1: With the use of technology in the classroom, the devices are always right at our fingertips. How do you not do a quick email check or a text reply? I can model balance by saving the personal use of the devices for times when students are not in the room.

Students collaborate to brainstorm solutions to global issues for our Problem-Based Learning Experience. #6thgraderssparkchange #saveourenvironment #equaityforall #endglobalpoverty #educateeveryone @ Northbrook… https://t.co/6vKvYNMZRc

[Cassi Wojewnik @Woje_Learn]

We incorporate movement on these long testing days. Students create letters out of objects around the room to spell a word that describes our main character’s personality.… https://t.co/WgH1hBx24j

NBJH students had the privilege of meeting author @gordonkorman today! #futureauthors https://t.co/9E29nPLeZp

Students continue to develop their argumentative writing pieces in stations such as building to depth with LEGOS and hopscotching with transitions. https://t.co/JoM3ZBsuBz
