With the new science standards in affect, you should check out NSTA. They have many science activities that will help you out in your classroom. Also check out their Daily Do's. @RealSweetGrace#SMSUscienceED
A1: School is boring. To change that, you need to be exciting. Be something that they have never seen before. Be the class that gets talked about the most. #smsutlap
A2: A common road block for me is the assessment piece. Trying to find the right one and then differentiate it for my students can be a challenge. I could start and have started creating my own assessment pieces with a few online applications. That has been helping me. #smsutlap
A1: I will be all over the place. Many of my lessons, although connected, will use many different learning styles and outdoor activities. I will constantly be looking for new and wacky things to add to the mix! #smsutlap
A3: By being real with my students and showing them that we are learning together, I will not have as much of the students challenging my authority. When students do act up, I will be firm and hopefully at that time they will respect me. #smsutlap
A1: I will take time during each morning meeting to ask students about their days. I will also not use a teacher's voice. I will be real with my students π―% #smsutlap
A4: All of the students questions and concerns matter. If class has to be stopped for talking, then it happens. If things get excessive, ask them to tell you after class. Making sure their voices are heard is the biggest thing for them. Wasn't it for you back then?#smsutlap
