Preparing for my students to return 4 days a week and next yr. I need your help. @TpT_Official is my go-to source for high-quality, teacher-created classroom resources. A contribution to my #TpTClassFund allows me to get what I need to teach at my best. https://t.co/kmFljwpx1o

A1 I would feel isolated and probably frustrated! I would hope for patient teachers with inviting smiles. Someone who gave me picture supports and maybe a translator or someone who spoke my native language. #FCPSlearn

@ScottLewisITC Last ever? I hope just last for the school year!?

[Stacey Macoff @mrsmacoff]

A5 they are kids. I feel like we forget this. we need to expect them to make mistakes like kids. When they dont make mistakes we cheer. when they do we are there to help them navigate and cheer them on all the while #champforkids

[Stacey Macoff @mrsmacoff]

Sorry I'm late #champforkids baseball game for ths kids. But I'm stacey I teach 8th grade science in va and I'm in time for the last question. Lol.

[Stacey Macoff @mrsmacoff]

Oops a3

[Stacey Macoff @mrsmacoff]

Positive behavior reinforcement is huge. Or I will tell them ahead of time that their answer for #5 is correct and i will call on them later to share. It gives them the safety net of knowing their right before they share out. #AIMSnetwork

@ChristineBemis2 ALL students make mistakes ALL people make mistakes and letting your students know you wont write them off for one bad decision or bad day is so important

@LevineWrites My Twitter pln raises my spirits and pushes me on those days when I need it!

[Stacey Macoff @mrsmacoff]

@RaeHughart Time is so important expecting a student with low ASE to open up day 1 and have a life changing moment isn't realistic

[Stacey Macoff @mrsmacoff]

A2 I start by pointing out their strengths and try to work with them how we can translate for example their love of drawing into mastery of science. I like to let students know that learning looks different for everyone #AIMSNetwork

@MsJachymiak Teaching students the power of yet!! ❤growth mindset

[Stacey Macoff @mrsmacoff]

A1 closed mindset comments like I'm stupid, I dont get this its too hard- are a big indicator to me of low academic self esteem. #AIMSnetwork
