@KFelicello @TeacherAndAdmin @burgessdave @burgess_shelley What about teaching 7th grade?😂

A new study finds that children struggle to hold pencils due to the increasing use of iPads and other touch screens, saying that many kids coming into the school system no longer have the hand strength and agility to learn to write correctly. [https://t.co/KHjGoVpTcx]

@NRCoachGizzi I sometimes feel that there is a misconception that physical activity is the solution to obesity. While I do realize physical activity is very important to every bodies health, I think some people are frustrated when they join a gym to lose weight and don't see the results.

@NRCoachGizzi This does not happen in other places.

Q5 Being someone that lives over the river, 50 minutes away, and has commuted for 22 years so far, my friends often ask "why don't you find a district closer to home"?
I couldn't imagine working anyplace else. Thank you North Rockland. #NRCSDchat

I’m now getting to that point in my career where I’m running into plenty of students who have gone on to be successful in their fields of choice. As Albert Einstein once stated, “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.” #NRCSDchat

Q4 Different. #NRCSDchat

Q3 Honestly, this year is turning out to be extraordinarily challenging. I am working very hard to focus on the positive, keep smiling and be a teacher that builds up, not tears down.

A2 At this point in my career I am secure enough in my personality to say that my love for working with children is mostly selfish. Every day at work I get to laugh, feel like an expert, exchange ideas with like-minded colleagues, and (usually) be in control. #NRCSDchat

A1 Unlike many of my colleagues, I am not from NR, therefore I am able to compare NR to my home district. The level of community and spirit and pride that I see every day in NR should make other districts feel embarrassed. You Rock! #NRCSDchat

This Twitter Challenge is really making me feel like a burnt out dinosaur.

After 7 or so years, we have finally caught our classroom Tarantula Rosey molting. She's a good ol' spider.
