@tammyallenread2 A3: I am still new to twitter so I don't "follow" many people other than who Mrs. A followed for me when she created my twitter account so I am excited to read everyone's suggestions. #desTLAP
@tammyallenread2 A2: This book shows you that sometimes you have to do something that isn't necessarily within your comfort zone. You may fail at first but as you adjust the lessons your students will become engaged and will have a lasting impact on them. #desTLAP
@MrsAteachTech I agree with you. I often think unfortunately we focus on the bad in situations and talk about that instead of focusing on the positive. #desTLAP
@tammyallenread2 A1: Making it a point to stop and talk with different teachers and just saying something positive to them about their teaching or them in general would help create a positive environment. #desTLAP
@tammyallenread2 A2: I don't have a "go to" song but have been experimenting this year with some. I have different concentration music I play while the students are taking a test. #desTLAP
@tammyallenread2 A1: There have been times when I have had a lesson all planned out for the students to use technology and then the technology wasn't working that day and had to come up with a different plan for the day. I have learned that in this occupation you have to be flexible. #desTLAP
@tammyallenread2 @MrsAteachTech 5th grade used to do a career day. I think we may need to start doing this again. It would be a great opportunity for our students to see how they will use the skills they are taught in school in real life.
@tammyallenread2 A6: Everyday I sell to my students that math is an essential part in life and without it they will not be successful in life. For the most part the students are "buying" into it but there are a few that I am still working on but I refuse to give up. #desTLAP
@tammyallenread2 Fractions. I wish I had access to a kitchen because I would love to give students a recipe and have them multiply or divide the recipe by a fraction and then have them cook it. It would be amazing to see how the items tasted.
@tammyallenread2 A5: I think next year I want to focus more on getting to know my students and them getting to know me on the first day. I want to show the students how much fun math can be by creating collaborative group activities. #desTLAP
@tammyallenread2 A4: Pay attention to what the students have to say by giving them your undivided attention. When students are working go around and talk with each student to see if they have any questions. Go in everyday and teach passionately. #desTLAP
@tammyallenread2 Q2: Math! I love watching the students build their confidence as they begin to solve math problems and finding the strategies that work best for them. #desTLAP
@tammyallenread2 Pirates are passionate and determined to find their treasures. In education we need teachers who are passionate about what they teach and willing to do whatever it takes to help the students achieve their goals. #desTLAP
