He gets the #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay for living out this quote, “Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.” He models the joy of reading and what it looks like to be a leader. He lives out the room 20 mission: Work hard. Play nice. Be kind. #arkknightpride

[Russell Knight ES @ARKknights1]

He got the #goodnewscalloftheday for being kind and always making sure that his classmates feel special. Being kind and thoughtful is his superpower. #ARKknightpride

Loved 😃 helping Mrs. Malone get her 3rd grade class logged into chromebooks 💻 and join her Google Classroom.
She had this awesome Selfie 🤳 Bingo game ready to go as her first assignment. #ditchbook #WeAreFiveStar

RT @LRobbTeacher: A2 The only homework students have in grade 5 & 6 at intermediate school I work in is free choice reading and 3 practice math problems. Nothing attached to reading but trust and joy! #g2great

@MrEugenePark Right back at you! Plus, I like that shirt. #twinsies

We talk a lot about students being engaged. It occurs to me that one of the hallmarks of a great classroom is the TEACHER being engaged. Kids love it when their teacher is active, involved, and energized. And they can tell which ones are really “into it”... and which ones aren’t.

@MrEugenePark @Seesaw Awww! Thank you!

[Dave Helgeson @HelgesonDave]

@CHPSchat A1) When I first started teaching, using an overhead projector and a mimeograph machine was innovative technology! Now I've updated to @Seesaw within a 1:1 classroom. #CHPSchat #changingtimes

@MrEugenePark To build relationships with colleagues you listen and support them in and out of school, share ideas, and most importantly, check your ego at the door!

[Dave Helgeson @HelgesonDave]

@CHPSchat A4) Using the app @Seesaw is a great way to communicate and build relationships with parents. Communication is key! I start 1 week before school starts and continue almost daily until the end of the school year!

[Dave Helgeson @HelgesonDave]

@CHPSchat A3: One strategy that worked for me was spending 2 minutes daily for 10 days talking 1:1 with the challenging student. For some it is the only positive interaction they have they have and are amazed that someone cares about them. #CHPSchat

[Dave Helgeson @HelgesonDave]

@CHPSchat A2: Sometime during the 1st marking period I mail home a positive postcard. This year it was after they rocked student led conferences. Students see their teacher appreciates their efforts - very motivating.

Thanks to all who have joined in on the #CHPSchat slow conv. During the week of Jan. 22, we begin discussing a critical piece to not only education, but life...RELATIONSHIPS. How do you build and sustain relationships with Ss, colleagues and families?

Dave Helgeson 4th grade teacher at @#ARKknights1. Have used twitter for about a year to connect with parents but am a total newbie in regards to using it as PD. A1: How do you get colleagues on board who only think of twitter for personal use? #CHPSchat
