Check on your coworkers, friends, & family. 🧡

Q3: I do think a check-in buddy is necessary! We all need someone to talk to and that can relate! I am truly grateful for my teammates and my 3-5th team !! #EDSelfCare #TreatYourSelf

A4: I truly think it is a bare minimum because they still pile reports and trackers on our plates. So truly no. #EDSelfCare #TreatYourSelf

Final Thoughts: Having a community of teachers in your corner and finding something you enjoy helps. And taking time for yourself! Take time to read! Do yoga! Binge-watch Tv or Movies!Sleep!Or indulge in your favorite treats! Whatever makes you happy! #EDSelfCare #TreatYourSelf

We truly appreciate you all for coming and sharing your ideas! Have a good night! #EDSelfCare #TreatYourSelf

Hi, my name is Candrea . I teach 3rd grade. And I love holiday movies and the decorations . #PostCovidTeacherTalk

A1: I still use I-ready and Zearn! I started to use NearPod the kids enjoyed it and it’s some cool review games you can create. NearPod is like Google Slides but student can interact with the slides. I also found 99math as well. #PostCovidTeacherTalk

A2: I think my students writing has gotten better. We try to practice writing within the lines and several students are getting better! So, I’m super proud of that! #PostCovidTeacherTalk

A3: At the beginning of the year, I would practice routines and procedures daily ! And my kids would read the expectations after our SEL question . Now students reflect back to the expectations of the class . #PostCovidTeacherTalk

Closing : Using interactive tools is cool and can be very engaging. But engagement starts with being you, a human and open to change. Change happens daily in our classrooms. We (educators) are the first avenue to engagement. It starts with us first. #PostCovidTeacherTalk

Start the new year with acts of KINDNESS 💙 #edchat #teachertwitter #edutwitter

For those of you moving into virtual/online teaching again this January.

Yup.

Take care of yourself....

Just made a mistake. Just apologized to a kid. Normalize apologizing to kids.

KIDS DO NOT NEED STANDARDIZED TESTING.

If you are a Superintendent or School Board member, and teachers in your district are buying their own classroom supplies, or having to crowd-fund them, then you have, in some very fundamental way, failed.

I will try Quizizz this quarter . I like the idea of my students being able to label things for a science activity . #ET662GC
