An ice cream date at Orange Leaf! Indian Hills Elementary

This works in my classroom everyday! I have a lot of kids who go off and choosing words or comments to keep them positive works wonders, like a preemptive strike!#teachmindful #IHMarchMadness x.com/ChouinardJahan…

A4) I go off topic about anything I know they love or maybe even like. I try to get them thinking about something else completely to help them calm down and have a conversation.#teachmindful #IHMarchMadness x.com/ChouinardJahan…

A5) Our Second Step lessons give them ideas on conflict resolution, and they are small chunks of lessons we do periodically. They have simple reminders: stop, breathe, realize how you're feeling, voice your problem, etc. Review often!#teachmindful #IHMarchMadness x.com/ChouinardJahan…

A2)Many things! Sometimes trying to get the most table points, DOJO points, a skittle, trying to make a creation their own, being first, finishing to do something else, etc. #MasteryChat #IHMarchMadness x.com/tyarnold18/sta…

Q3)Bad attitudes, controlling attitudes from others, demands, lack of reward, feeling hard work was for nothing.#MasteryChat #IHMarchMadness x.com/tyarnold18/sta…

A4)Doing something for yourself, not because someone else suggested it, tried to make you do it or guilt you into it. You do it purely to make yourself happy.#masterychat #IHMarchMadness x.com/tyarnold18/sta…

A5)At my grade level, verbalizing my thinking about why I am doing what I am doing to model that motivation. Pointing out examples in children's books, it can be subtle.#masterychat #IHMarchMadness x.com/tyarnold18/sta…

A6)I would have to say internal. You can always count on yourself, not so much the outside world/employers/etc. There might not always be a carrot at the end of the stick.#MasteryChat #IHMarchMadness x.com/tyarnold18/sta…

A1)Motivation is what keeps you going, gets you up and moving, and makes you stick your neck out. #masterychat #IHMarchMadness x.com/tyarnold18/sta…

A7)Remind them that we are all in the same boat, we can do this together and laugh at the end of the day!#masterychat #IHMarchMadness x.com/tyarnold18/sta…

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. Winnie the Pooh #masterychat #IHMarchMadness x.com/tyarnold18/sta…

A1)Mindi from Kansas-Yes! Ss must know how to learn, memorizing only gets them so far. #lrnchat #IHMarchMadness x.com/lrnchat/status…

A2)I learn most by doing. If I only listen it doesn't seem to see into my brain, I have to do it. Talking with others sparks ideas and the gumption to try!#masterychat #IHMarchMadness x.com/lrnchat/status…

A5)Model, be there, offer ideas, share what we're doing.#lrnchat #IHMarchMadness x.com/lrnchat/status…

A6)Try lots of new things, be open to new ideas, listen to and learn from friends. Don't give up!#lrnchat #IHMarchMadness x.com/lrnchat/status…

A7)I will keep an open mind to new ideas, learn from colleagues, and keep opening my students to new things.#lrnchat #IHMarchMadness x.com/lrnchat/status…
