So true. 🙌

@MadysonWebber Love this! Where do you teach that shared this tradition? Our district used to do all school pow-wows (before covid) and walking into the gym each year, was always such a powerful experience! I sure miss watching my students dance in their regalia!

[Amy @Mrs_ASchmidt]

@MadysonWebber @gcouros Agreed! As the world continues to change, so do we.

"If you think you are "there", you are already probably falling behind." - @gcouros As leaders, educators, adults, contributing members of society.... we need to keep asking questions, keep pushing, in order to keep growing. #innovatorsmindset #ed527

@BrekkeMadison This is so spot on! When teachers get quiet... it's never a good sign.

[Livia Chan, M.Ed @LiviaChanL]

Educators can give the "gift of believing" not just to Ss but each other. When people believe in others, we can impactfully change their life's trajectory. I am eternally grateful to people who believe in me. Thank you @gcouros @jeffgargas @RaeHughart ♥️

@edyoucatorfirst @gcouros Agreed! After going through distance learning the past two years, the need for building relationships and connecting with others has shown its importance over letters and grades!

@Kinder6287 Thank you for the recommendation of “What Happed to You”, definitely at the top of my list to read next!

@Educ8thefuture1 Sometimes it's hard to take a moment to do something creative you actually enjoy, instead of having to do!

[Amy @Mrs_ASchmidt]

What is your favorite type of rest or what do you need to practice more? Emotional rest, unleashing all my thoughts/concerns on my hubby or teacher friends, is my usual go to! Creative rest...want to practice more. #ED527

This is so true! 🙌

This is a great article that ties in our units from #ed527 so far! It goes over ways to use the tools you already may be using in a more effective way! #braindumping #techtools

[Megan Parenteau @dreamteam1st]

Love this!!!#ed527

[Amy @Mrs_ASchmidt]

@Educ8thefuture1 @dreamteam1st They definitely can tell! I've really had to hone in my "teacher look" with only my eyes and body language since they can't see my entire facial expression though, anyone else?! 😂

[Amy @Mrs_ASchmidt]

@MadysonWebber These games sound awesome! Did you create all of them yourself?! I'm looking for more fun game ideas that don't involve a screen for my 4th graders!

[Amy @Mrs_ASchmidt]

@miriahdekok @kinderwithmrsv Blooket for the win! It is a bit more gamified and less teacher-directed, so the students can go on their own and watch the leaderboard change as time goes on. Kahoot is awesome to use for teamwork skills though and a way to switch things up!

Where do the days go? Monday crawls along and all of a sudden it's Thursday night?!
