One of my favorite events of the year! Thank you to everyone that participated or helped out. Y’all rock!! #LetsGoCrazy

Today a student brought me a cheesecake with a note on the lid: “Thank you for saving me.”

Excuse me while I go cry...again. 😢

A5: So many! Just to give a specific example, Melinda Benham has taken sight-reading to a new level (necessitated by covid related issues, but has really started to improve student's musical understanding)! #wcedchat

A3: Wearing masks when you're sick, improved cleaning of high touch areas, respecting people's personal space, making missed days more student responsibility to make up. #wcedchat

[Mr. Pettit @mr_pettit]

A2: Sounds very touchy-feely, but taking time to breathe. I'm not sure I would have made it this far without some well-regulated breaths. #wcedchat

[Mr. Pettit @mr_pettit]

A1: Here's a list of songs that just seem to fit:
Masquerade, Under Pressure, End of the World as We Know It, Hung Up, Down with the Sickness, Over It. #wcedchat

So enjoyed spending part of my evening watching homeroom and show choir students present their senior projects for AP Lit! What scholars!!

[Mr. Pettit @mr_pettit]

@markileaming Amen!!

[Mr. Pettit @mr_pettit]

@cathydgeorge We’ll definitely be teaching from flying cars. 😂

A4: I'm not sure that their is anything I will leave behind. Hopefully students are more acclimated to Canvas from the get-go so that they will use it as a supplemental resource to my classroom earlier on in the year. #wcedchat

[Mr. Pettit @mr_pettit]

A2: Not a question, but a wish -- If Canvas and MathXL would talk to each other, my quality of life would skyrocket!! Ha! #wcedchat

[Mr. Pettit @mr_pettit]

A1: Though Canvas has been required, it has been helpful to get notes/videos to students. I also love Quizizz and PearDeck. #wcedchat

@MeganGlaubitz I love getting to work with her!

[Mr. Pettit @mr_pettit]

A2: Be real! Students are humans. They want to laugh and connect and feel safe. Show them your mistakes, your rough mornings, your passions, and your victories. Then they'll do the same! #wcedchat

[Mr. Pettit @mr_pettit]

A5: Be friendly and knowledgable. Be okay admitting when you don't know something. NO JUDGEMENT FOR STUPID QUESTIONS!! Ha! #wcedchat

[Mr. Pettit @mr_pettit]

A4: Respect. You're never going to like every single person you work with. You'll have the people you want to hang out with on the weekends, but you MUST respect your fellow faculty members.

Once again authenticity and cordiality goes a long way! #wcedchat

[Mr. Pettit @mr_pettit]

A1: Relationship is determined by the relative strength of reciprocative trust and communication between individuals. A strong relationship is based in mutual authenticity, respect, and care. #wcedchat
