#r9ttc#Hashtag My class hashtag would be #BigChanges because 5th grade is such a pivotal year in the lives of my students. They change schools, they are given more responsibility, and their bodies change.
#r9ttc#FavFriday My fav teacher?? Let's see...Mrs. Berry, Mrs. Greninger, Mrs. McCune, Mrs. Atnip, Mrs. Lasley, Mrs. Mathis, Miss Motley, Mrs. Carlton, Mrs. Studyvin, Mrs. Stephens...my fav mentors: Mrs. Law, Mrs. Miles, and Mrs. @frostymom4 All had an impact on how I teach now.
#r9ttc#TeambuildingTues My favorite team building activity is to give the students a problem and not allow them to talk. Afterwards, we discuss how communication is an important key to teamwork.
Cheetah Cubs Update: The playful siblings turned 10 weeks old this week. Mom, Bingwa, keeps a watchful eye on the active cubs as they hone their natural skills. Mom and cubs continue to remain behind the scenes #greateight#cheetahcubs

#ManageMonday#r9ttc One managing strategy I use is to have a Notes to Teacher Tray. Any note they need to give me goes in the tray. Then it does not get lost on my desk.
