Everyday during snack, I have students volunteer to #read to the class. This has been great motivation in my classroom. The students are so supportive of each other and always clap at the end to show their support! #reading #literature #Elementary #kidsdeserveit @AuburnCityEdu

@mrs_smoke @MBrownEdTech It would be phenomenal!

[Mrs. Thompson @thompsonmesks]

A5. I'veenjoyed this class, & the connections I've made. Thanks @mrs_smoke & @MBrownEdTech for pushing me out of my comfort zone, & getting me connected with the Twitter world! Andover Ts would benefit from using Twitter by sharing in real time with each other. #385edchat

[Mrs. Thompson @thompsonmesks]

@mrs_smoke Thank you! I feel like one of my kids-I’d already forgotten about it! 😄

[Mrs. Thompson @thompsonmesks]

A4. The opportunity to provide surprise and delight for my students is what makes me excited about teaching! A surprise and delight opportunity I am providing for them is participating in the Awesome Squiggles Global Project as well as the St. Patrick's Day Project. #385edchat

@MrsReynoldsPreK How fun! Dramatic play is so important. We’ve started having a morning of play once a month in first grade and they LOVE it!

[Mrs. Thompson @thompsonmesks]

@HighfillJoan We did that too! It’s so fun for the kids! I can’t believe how many kids haven’t cracked an egg before!

[Mrs. Thompson @thompsonmesks]

@Woods1stgrade @ChatterPixIt YES! Food seems to be a delight for all ages LOL!

[Mrs. Thompson @thompsonmesks]

@hickskinders I love the point you make about the school community building morale in a way Twitter cannot. This is very true, and open classrooms would certainly help create a positive environment!
