@NDLiteracy A6. #ncrcchat I let students pick their independent reading books. They have journals to write ideas/thoughts in as well. I pick IXL skills for each chapter in math. They can can pick and choose which skills they want to practice for extra credit.

@NDLiteracy Q5. #ncrcchat I loved getting my masters in Ed. After that I love taking classes, networking, getting ideas, and listening to other teachers.

@NDLiteracy A4. #ncrcchat I have created nooks and provided spaces such as: tables, benches, and desks for students to write. They can always use a clipboard and write on the floor. They mostly do their writing on their chrome book.

@NDLiteracy A3. #ncrcchat PD has to be relevant.

@kellyrenae8 @NDLiteracy Yes, I agree. I love seeing teachers/classrooms in action.

@NDLiteracy A2. #ncrcchat I like sharing and listening to new ideas. I’ve been taking a lot of classes and people are always sharing their ideas at classes. I also like Instagram FB for sharing. I should look on Twitter more often.

@NDLiteracy A1. #ncrcchat my favorite teacher was Mr. Asay and Mrs. Schlund. They were my favorite teachers because you could tell they genuinely cared.

@NDLiteracy #ncrcchat I revamp my lessons/units every chance I get. I’m always searching for the best lessons or the best way to teach it. I sticky note my lessons on what went well or what to skip next time. Like my dad says, sometimes you eat chicken, sometimes you eat the feathers. 🐓

@BrandiFjeld @NDLiteracy Oh Yes, longer days with 4 days a week! Good idea 💡 I vote for this. 🙋🏻‍♀️

@NDLiteracy Q4. #ncrcchat I would like to have my students all day everyday. They are getting pulled out for so many services.

@NDLiteracy #ncrcchat I would have Jerry Seinfeld as my substitute. My everyday classroom is a lot about “nothing” but at the same time full of opportunities. Plus, 5th grade can be comical.

@NDLiteracy Q3. #ncrc Jerry Seinfeld would be my substitute. Sometimes my classroom is an episode of “nothing” but everything at once!😂 plus, I love what I do.
