Here's another resource for anyone curious about sentence diagramming. https://t.co/ZYRzKuyBz6 #sentencediagramming #grammar #grammargirl #etownscad19

It sounds like most people don't know much about sentence diagramming. Curious what I'm proposing tomorrow morning? Visit this article:

[Alyssa VanLenten @vanlentena]

On Tuesday, I'm proposing a study on the effectiveness of sentence diagramming as a tool to teach grammar in the middle level classroom. What do YOU think about sentence diagramming? #sentencediagramming #grammar

@vanlentena That "fixed" component of IQ is why I put very little stock in it. I try to teach my kiddos that no matter what you feel you've been given or what ways you've been slighted, it's what you make of yourself that matters most - no excuses! :) #5thchat

@GregJWolcott @Peekapak @_coolclassroom @classcatalyst @GoZenTweets I hadn't ever heard of these before. Thanks so much for sharing!

A4: I think this shows exactly where our deficits are. #5thchat

[Greg Wolcott @GregJWolcott]

A2: Given the high rates of stress, anxiety and depression in today’s students (middle/ high school/college) populations which have led to record high numbers of students cutting/harming selves and contemplating/committing suicide—- IT IS CRUCIAL! #5thchat

[Alyssa VanLenten @vanlentena]

A3: I think it's super important to talk with Ss about what they are feeling. When we recognize that students' emotions are valid, they realize that they can manage them. #5thchat

[Alyssa VanLenten @vanlentena]

@GregJWolcott What a cool idea. I'm always trying to remind students that just because they are feeling a certain way about something, it's not a bad thing. It's just what it is - and then we can decide what that means for us.

[Alyssa VanLenten @vanlentena]

@MrOverstreet101 @GrayMttrs That's a great point. Thinking about people I like most in the world, they are not necessarily geniuses but instead considerate and caring.

[Alyssa VanLenten @vanlentena]

@PaulSolarz I love that!

[Alyssa VanLenten @vanlentena]

A2: I'm a ML major, so I never know how students are going to handle their emotions. It's really important to me to be understanding of what's going in my students' lives and help them learn how to manage what they're feeling so they can focus on learning. #5thchat

[Alyssa VanLenten @vanlentena]

I define EI as how aware a person is of their feelings and how capable he is at managing them. EI might involve ability to relate to others too #5thchat

[Alyssa VanLenten @vanlentena]

Hi, I'm Alyssa from Pennsylvania! I'm a junior ML ed major! And tonight I am happy :) #5thchat

[Alyssa VanLenten @vanlentena]

I had some great conversations tonight on #formativechat. Check it out #SSEDMETHODS

[Alyssa VanLenten @vanlentena]

A3: At the simplest level, use parent-teacher communication to let parents know what we are teaching. Send a weekly newsletter so parents can talk with their students about what they've learned! #formativechat
