@JennahHart1 @LeoneClark Project based learning is always exciting for the kids!

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@britt1marsh @LeoneClark I also need to work on this. Meaningful extension activities will help those kiddos.

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@LeoneClark A9 - my next step is to make sure I incorporate more student choices. I will also try to be more intentional with my Q4 students and plan better for them. #Q4PLCTalk

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@cstrain24 @LeoneClark I am guilty of that too, but aren’t we all? We really have to plan for ALL students including the Q4 students.

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@HoodVhood @LeoneClark A safe place in the classroom is key! Some students do not have that at home and have a hard time thinking it’s ok to make mistakes.

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@LeoneClark A7 - Growth mindset is something I try to work on in class. I love how her students see mistakes as a positive they can learn from. I want my students to understand that it’s ok to mess up. They are in school to learn and grow, especially from their mistakes. #Q4PLCTalk

@cjohnson_LES @LeoneClark We use brainpop too! It still surprises me how the kids like to do the quizzes. #Q4PLCTalk

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@GrashaErin @LeoneClark Google slides is a resource we’ve used especially the drag and drops. They are also easy to create. #Q4PLCTalk

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@LeoneClark A8 - we like to use flocabulary in our classroom (sustaining). The songs really wakes them up and it helps the kiddos understand the concept a little more. #Q4PLCTalk

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@As_SueSeesIt @LeoneClark This is true! Kids need specific details. They want to understand what they are doing well in and what exactly they need to work on. #Q4PLCTalk

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@bcarterdisd @LeoneClark I love how you do not accept failure! Kids need to know there could be another way to problem solve.

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@LeoneClark A6 - I try to promote growth mindset daily in my class. My students know that I never expect them to be masters the first day. We may not get it the first time, but we we work together to figure it out and grow. #Q4PLCTalk

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@Aclinch77505 @cjohnson_LES @LeoneClark I like this idea as well! I have so many student who have anxiety answering a question, let alone present a whole assignment in front of the class.

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@AthenaCapri @LeoneClark Yes I love project based learning because it’s fun for the students and teacher.

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@LeoneClark A5 - voice and choice are important for students because it helps with engagement and kids take ownership of their own learning. It’s always interesting to give students free choice on their research. Gives you another opportunity to learn and connect with them. #Q4PLCTalk

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@bcarterdisd @LeoneClark Britta, I can be the same way too! Once I question something, I am immediately online trying to find the answer. #Q4PLCTalk

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@LeoneClark A4 - I’m always looking for new, fun, and engaging activities. Our students get different and different each year. What motivated them last year or was “cool,” may not be the same this year. #Q4PLCTalk

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@Marak221 Yupp, definitely true! Trying to get as many ideas from the book to help.

[Brittany Pittman @bpittman08]

@ck_brooks @LeoneClark I agree with this. I feel like my groups change day by day sometimes. Some of my kids can be masters in one standard and need extra support in a different standard.

@LeoneClark A3 - “…there is no one-size-fits-all approach because there are no average students.” (P. 52) #Q4PLCTalk
