The fourth night of protest in downtown Indianapolis ended with IMPD officers and protesters coming together for a beautiful and peaceful moment. https://t.co/XzOVV8pM8r

@IndyMayorJoe @IMPD_Chief Where is the thanks for our IMPD officers who showed enormous restraint as they were spit at, hit with bottles and other debris, and put their lives on the line to protect our citizens, our businesses, and our city? Shame on you, @IndyMayorJoe for turning your back on them.

Today’s Starting Lineup vs Mt Vernon

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

@RyanERussell Oh, yes! It was one of my favorite LP moments! 😂

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

You are amazing! Your students are lucky to have you as a teacher!

[Mrs. Hess @MrsHessClass]

It's the little things. I have two friends that struggle daily to be the best they can be! I make it a point every day to greet them each morning with a smile/hug and walk them to their dismissal spot each night regardless of how the day went! #wearethekey

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

Wow! This tweet chat flew by! Thank you so much for joining us tonight. Such a wealth of knowledge about building relationships! #wearethekey

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

Q4: Connecting with your students on a personal level matters. When we share our own successes (and mistakes) with students they see us as human. Share who you are and the things that matter to you! #wearethekey

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

A3: Telling parents that I appreciate them and their support. It's important for parents to know that we are on the same team. #wearethekey

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

Yes! I've also found that ending my day by making one positive phone call changes my own mood! I leave the building on a positive note! :) #wearethekey

[Evie Monroe @MrsEvieMonroe]

#WEaretheKEY A3: positive phone calls home! Many parents are thrilled to have good phone calls, especially if it's after working together to turn around a negative behavior.

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

A3: It takes a village to raise a child. When we build relationships with our students’ families, education becomes a team effort.

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

We build relationships even while we are teaching...having students turn and talk, share their thoughts and opinions, and praising students for their thinking all lead to positive relationships! #wearethekey

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

A2: Collaboration leads to relationships. Great teachers design lessons that include opportunities for collaboration and conversation. How do you build this into your daily lessons? #wearethekey

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

Great point! We get so busy with our teaching day that we sometimes rush past our colleagues. Genuine relationships with our colleagues makes relationship building with students easier! #wearethekey

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

So true! And some days this is more difficult than others. Always coming back to kids and reminding them that we care about them...even when we have to correct them. #wearethekey

[Shannon Dick @scrapnteacher2]

A1: continuous reconnecting to reassure the bond is still there. Just making a connection once feels fake, kids know this #WEaretheKEY

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

A1: First things first..students love to be greeted with high fives, fist bumps, and smiles! #wearethekey

[Kathy Hench @khench1]

Love seeing familiar faces and some new ones, too! If you're here (even if you're just stalking) introduce yourself and be sure to add the #wearethekey
