“Concepts and theories with the absence of the magic of teaching and learning means nothing.”

I loved listening to Chris Edmin’s TED talk on the magic of teaching!

[Abby Bontrager @missbontrager]

It’s so important that we teach our students a growth mindset! Make sure they understand the power of “yet”

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Disrespect is never the core issue. It’s always a symptom of something deeper. It’s easy for the adults in the school to lose sight of that… but we can’t.

[Frannie Ware @maryf_ware]

These two have encouraged and supported me in everything I’ve done this year. I am so thankful for them! @MsMollyMckenzie @mssmeltzer_

“I am amazed how you never gave up on me.”
-Letter to teacher on the last day of school
@SerenaPariser Thank you for the beautiful, real, raw stories you share in your book, Real Talk about Classroom Managment, about loving the student others might refer to as the “bad” kid.

My group and I had such a fun time breaking out of our history box during class on Friday! Thank you, @ALHistoryEdu, for sharing with us! Our tool belts are much more full because of you!!

This week in third grade, we reviewed how to tell time on an analog clock by using fully labeled “plate clocks” to help us remember the value of each individual tick mark!! #TIS #scaffolding #realia

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I can think of very little that teachers do, that is more important… than communicating to students that they matter.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I appreciate empathetic educators. Their job is more stressful… because they feel the pain and struggles that their students endure. But their job is infinitely more rewarding… because they’re the ones who truly touch the lives of their students.

[Taylor Armstrong @TAYLOR_does_IT]

Tell me about the best lessons you had in school or about the best teachers you had. The teachers will always be remembered most. How we treat students will always determine our impact. What we do gets much easier when we connect with our students first.

[JenClark @RFM_clarkjen]

Definitely something to remember tomorrow and every day!! ❤️❤️❤️

Personal touches...let them know you care

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

There's a reason we don’t have all the answers to our “why” questions. God isn’t trying to be distant or mysterious or hard to understand. He’s being merciful.

We don’t have to know the plan to trust there is a plan. We just have to fix our thoughts on Jesus.

[Frannie Ware @maryf_ware]

Everyone could use a little end of the year encouragement❤️ #firstgrade #kindwordscangoalongway #spreadkindness

[STEAM at TCES! @STEAMatTrace]

So thankful for these @SamfordEd students who have poured so much love and joy into our class @TraceElem this year. We are grateful for the ways they have invested in students and look forward to following them on their teaching journeys.

Today in first grade we reviewed the concept of individuality after reading the book Only One You by Linda Kranz. Afterward, we made our own fish to demonstrate our understanding of individuality. #crosscurricularconcepts

[Jonathan L Wilkins @chappywilkins]

Cognitive dissonance and the gift of struggle—If you’re comfortable then you’re not learning #growthmindset

[Kate Campbell @EduKATECampbell]

One of my new favorite teaching strategies...chalk talk. @3xjoy led the ESEC students on a deep-dive into a discussion on Cultures in Our Classrooms in today’s class using a Chalk Talk. What does culture in the classroom mean to you? #culture #cultureintheclassroom #chalktalk

[Frannie Ware @maryf_ware]

We had such a fun time in first grade this week making story boards for our bee-bots to drive over!! The students were able to work on their sequencing skills as well as cause and effect skills!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I appreciate teachers with tender hearts. (And so do their students.)

I don’t ever take that for granted.
