A3: I didn't exactly follow an arts path, but my parents would have supported me if I had! My mom is an interior designer, so the arts are always welcome in my house! #CaArtsEdChat
@VAPAJeannine Hello! Regan from Toronto, Canada here! I am very good at watching how something is made a couple of times and recreating it! #CaArtsEdChat
@hechternacht I had the chance to see a presentation put together by a parent for a teacher who was leaving in April who had been there since September and it was so touching to see how much the kids loved her and cared for her, we were both crying and I barely knew her #kinderchat
@KeeneeLou @CarrieMarshall1 @hechternacht That’s fair, at what point is it no longer about the kids’ accomplishments and just a photo-op for parents. As long as something is being celebrated I guess a formal ceremony isn’t needed! #kinderchat
@KeeneeLou @CarrieMarshall1 @hechternacht Going through school I actually had 4 different graduations! Kindergarten, g6, g8 and g12! Each one felt like a big moment leading up to a lot of changes! It feels good to celebrate accomplishments, even for little ones #kinderchat
@hechternacht I’m wondering what some of these traditions will look like this year as it’s the first time the kids are back in school with no more restrictions for gatherings! #kinderchat
@CarrieMarshall1 I’ve had to remind a couple classes that I’ve been in recently that their marks are still being put in, so things still matter! They can’t start saying “schools almost over” yet #kinderchat
@VAPAJeannine As a new supply teacher I haven’t had to make the accommodations much myself, but in a school I’ve been at teaches non-verbal students some basic sign language skills to help communicate #CaArtsEdChat
@TaraMartinEDU I can’t wait to read some of this advice! This is my first “summer off” and I have no idea how to prepare myself for the start of the new school year #tlap
A3 I will be spending my summer completing my Masters of education and working part time (student loans, yay!) so there won’t be much personal restoration or other professional growth for me unfortunately #tlap
