I am confused about using this tweet deck correctly! #racingtorigor

lots of our reading is from other time periods #racingtorigor

they come up with some great definitions when they don't know the meanings! #racingtorigor

Showing nonexamples as well as examples shows their understanding #racingtorigor

I have one that I already use, but it needs tweaking #racingtorigor

was so excited today when one of the kids used "quiescent" correctly! #racingtorigor

I liked the riddle idea too. They really have to think to do that activity #racingtorigor

I have them work in pairs- good cooperative learning #racingtorigor

turn the volume off! #racingtorigor

I have gathered old phones that can get internet. Let the kids use. #racingtorigor

I liked the idea that the kids do all the work #racingtorigor

Giving the kids a topic and letting them be creative in showing what they learned #racingtorigor

this was fun...after I figured it out! #racingtorigor
