@pinkmamba22@lpapsun It’s so important. We are with these students almost more than they are at home. Having strong and respectful relationships mean everything.
@lpapsun A5. The ability to see tangible growth. Being virtual last year it was difficult to see a students accurate progress but this year I am able to see and fit the needs to each student individually and I love it! I feel like I’m making a difference. #NCBTchat
@lpapsun A4. I listen. I give them a chance to express themselves while also making sure my classroom has a safe and inviting environment. I encourage them to think about who they want to be versus just what job/career they want to have. #NCBTchat
@oompahpa@lpapsun Missbensko on Spotify has so many awesome playlists for classrooms! I’d check her out because I love having a fun vibe during independent work and the kids love it too! #NCBTchat
@lpapsun A3. We love escape room/stations with labs! I wish we could explore more but do you the current situation going on in the world we have to make due. We also love kahoot/daily competitions!! #NCBTchat
@BoyerShantell@lpapsun Yes! I have a whole bulletin board behind my desk and my kids even feel honored to be a part of showing me love too! :) #NCBTchat
@lpapsun A2 I love positive affirmations. I have an affirmation station in my classroom that has self love quotes on a mirror and it helps me start my day off right-as well as the kids! Also I love my devotionals. #NCBTChat
@lpapsun A1. I love having a schedule and staying organized so I have a regular gym schedule I follow with a trainer, love cooking at home, and I value a good sleep. Making sure priorities are straight so it doesn’t interfere at work! #NCBTChat

@holmes_rhonda A5 Cont: I also try to make a big effort in explaining to students that school isn't all about turning in assignments. While that is GREAT, they are here to help learn, grow, engage, and bloom with every other student and that conversations with their classmates are good!
@holmes_rhonda A5: Every few weeks I give my students a survey based on how they enjoyed the content/classwork so I can get feedback if they really wanted to be engaged. This has helped me plan so many other lessons and sometimes I need to switch it up with videos/projects! #NCBTChat
@RachelHorowitz9@holmes_rhonda I like the choices! It also helps students who feel more comfortable off camera and shows them that you as a teacher respect that as well! #NCBTChat
@holmes_rhonda A4 Cont: I also use packets and will write little messages on them to show better understandings to my students if they need more help. #NCBTChat
@holmes_rhonda When presenting new vocab, sometimes I will use my whiteboard and write the word and explain the root word's importance, draw diagrams (i.e. cellular respiration), and/or draw images to show them, and I ask for them to do this with me too for engagement/understanding #NCBTChat
@holmes_rhonda A3: I love using Gizmos for science since we are unable to do labs/group work. It also makes it easy for my students to participate in person and online when we are hybrid. When we are in person, I try to use less online models because they do better with physical work #NCBTChat
@holmes_rhonda A2: I take time to ask my students how they are feeling and try to connect to them through socio-emotional High Order Thinking questions. They gave me a list of songs that make them happy in the first week and we listen to one if they are overwhelmed. REALLY helps! #NCBTChat
