@sweinberg20 no body said this profession was easy!

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

@AJL480 that is true.. I myself haven't read for pleasure in a while

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

@AJL480 I love just relaxing on the gulf!

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

@Shane11Casey I feel like if they don't have a strong foundation with vocabulary right away, they struggle more #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

@sweinberg20 this is so true! I feel like this encourages classroom engagement as well #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

@reitmeierkristi what grade do you teach? I have seen that it is common to only have morning meetings in the younger grades #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

@sweinberg20 this is what I tweeted as well! It's easy to just want to get through content, but reading for pleasure is essential #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

@AJL480 this is important! And it's important to remember that different textbooks are read differently #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

@reitmeierkristi I agree! I feel like I could make PE work, but I would struggle with music and art as well #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

@MrsWardien if only every teacher had this mentality!! #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

@Shane11Casey I feel like this helps to build relationships, as well as it encourages more success in the classroom #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

@rebaotoole that should be a lot of fun! I haven't been there in forever! Are you doing anything specific there? #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

@brooke_thorsell I think this is one of the most important parts in having a successful classroom! #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

A9: I am going to Texas on Wednesday for a few weeks before I have to be back for new teacher training!! #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

A8: I think all teachers need to know how to read about their subject, and they need to teach those strategies to their students #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

A7: It would be difficult for me to encourage discussion in an elective like art since I don't know a lot about art in general #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

A6: Children should read for the same purposes as adults- sometimes it's easy to forget they should read for pleasure often too #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

A5: By making myself vulnerable and admitting my mistakes, students feel more comfortable and are okay when they don't do it right #UNDTL524

[Alexa Nelson @alexanelson23]

A4: My favorite place to vacation is either texas or Florida! #UNDTL524
