A5 - My Moby Dick of teaching the elusive PLAYLIST -where scholars choose from a variety of challenging, diverse and interesting topics this playlist will be a guide for their work. We will meet for guided reading and math as they continue to their centers. Like an agenda #LPTech

A4 I have not read that far but My mission statement this year is for my scholars and me to stay healthy, find the joy of learning and walk out of school every day knowing that it is the best place for us to be at. Not too academic or inspiring but it is what it is. #LPTech

A3 The more projects we complete the easier it is for them to choose a way to show what they have learned. It is also easier for me to give them more control and hope for their best ideas to show up. #LPTech

A2 - We are in the process of creating the 2nd part to our PBL - we are having regular meeting to see what direction do they want to take and what rolls do they want in it #LPTech

Q1I am looking forward to a recording booth. The kids are so curious about what that is it almost feels like Tom Sawyer because at the end they are building the sound booth themselves and trying it to make sure that it works

This rapper was arrested in Saudi Arabia after releasing a powerful song 'Mecca Girl.' She has received support in her country & worldwide. Others have also been arrested just for speaking their mind or demanding basic rights. They now need the same support, too.

A5 I plan to focus on choice in their learning. They have up to now showed that they are making sound decisions. I plan to give them a "playlist" see how it goes. Some may need help in finding an appropriate voice but I think it is expected to guide/nudge them a bit #rigorousPBL

[Mayte Alverdi @mayte1015]

A4 I am working on showing them how to improve their learning and not to focus on where others are. In a classroom where my scholars' levels are so diverse. BLEND has come handy because it personalizes lessons for them and gives them privacy and confidence #rigorousPBL

A3 We started goal setting for Math and Reading MOY-we did SMART goal-prepared a chart and are slowly making progress - t is a bit hard when you see some of my scholars making their goals and other not making gains that they can see - https://t.co/VmTVdrI5oo #RigorousPBL

A2 - For our PBL project I have allowed my scholars to group and work on their own projects/stories since my original plan quickly broke down-I am wondering if that was voice and choice by necessity rather than planned-I guess if it works it does not really matter!? #RigorousPBL

[Mayte Alverdi @mayte1015]

A1 - I would want to see the change in culture in my classroom where my scholars offer, receive, and use feedback from each other to improve their learning - not just from a teacher or an adult. I want them to value their peer's advice and use it. #RigorousPBL

@183South So, before the main lanes open, 100% of the traffic will be on the free lanes, right? What are we going to do in order to safely exit our neighborhood during that period? Any ideas?

[Mexican *and* American @VMM_ATX]

Dear @183South, looking at the concrete pad outside of Knollwood, it looks a bit tight for 3 lanes? Anyhow, when you switch traffic to it, there will not be an acceleration lane for our neighborhood. How are we going to exit safely into 55 mph traffic?

[jacobc.eth @jacobc_eth]

@183South the exit from Knollwood has been eroded and collapsed for weeks now, with almost half the road gone. trash is accumulating there and gave me a flat. can we please get this fixed?
