Great day to choral read outside. @PrairieCityElem

View relationship building with the toughest kids as an investment. We put money away now w the goal being worth much more in the future. We add $ during the ups & downs & trust the process of compound growth & interest. Same exact thought process w kids. #edchat #kidsdeserveit

@MrsJaniceDavis That’s very true. In 2nd grade we have started focusing on those little accomplisments and celebrating them! It definitely keeps a positive culture. #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

A4: For me I have focused on incorporating writing throughout the day instead of an assigned “writing” time. #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

@MsBBurns Oh I never thought. Do you tell your students I won’t answer questions after a certain time? That’s got to make it hard. #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

A3: I generally choose to not look at my e-mail after 4:00 and focus on my family. I also like to go into school early which is when I can get to missed e-mails. #pcmreadwritelead

@achiabotta A3: Sleep makes me laugh! I’m in bed at 8:30 every night! ha ha because I NEED MY SLEEP! ha #ilovemybed #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

@stacy_fridley I agree, and good relationships=good school culture! #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

A2: Hire leaders and teachers who are relationship oriented and show potential for excellence. #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

@MrsJaniceDavis That has been very beneficial this year. Prior to the instructional coach position it was hard to get into other classrooms to observe. #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

A1: Pineapple cart. Allows us to look at what’s going on in other classes that we may want to observe. Also having Berg available to come in our classroom so we are able to see other classes. #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

@stacy_fridley I like that part as well. How do we make that shift? So much of what we do is reflected on how we teach and how “our” students do. #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

A3: Allow our students to lead PBIS assemblies. They are proud of the work they do. #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

@stacy_fridley I think a lot of that goes back to our school culture as well and communication. #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

A2: When you see a problem, come up with ideas on how to solve the problem. #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

@stephanierberg @hawkeye_teach24 @mueller1stgrade That’s a great idea :) School year tends to get busy but we all look for good books to read in the summer! #pcmreadwritelead

[Kari Van Wyk @mrs_vanwyk]

A1: active participate in PLC’s, on going learning mentality, mentoring, determination. #pcmreadwritelead
