In a world where you can be anything, Be Kind! Kindness rocks my 4th graders painted to hide on our playground next week.

Collaborate, recruit and retain, and community schools. Paraphrased goals. US. #ISTP23

Elevating and Enhancing the Teaching Profession at #ISTP23 I’m humbled and honored to be here.

It’s #InternationalDotDay. I always love what my students come up with each year! #MTedChat

Who doesn’t love a little edible science? We are learning about the Layers of the Earth with Oreos today! #MTEdChat #scienceteacher

It’s #DotDay We had a great time creating our own dots!!

Thanks Ann! This was fun! I can't wait for next week. #MTedchat

A5: It's hard being separated from the rest of my teaching partners, so I have focused on making time for me and walking away from work- which is hard because it's all at my counter. I make sure to run or walk at least a mile a day. #MTedchat

A4: My Ss are fully remote and I teach from my kitchen counter but- we are in a routine, engaged, and students are happy and learning! #MTedchat

A3: "Mrs. Stout, your braids are really cute today."- I don't normally wear my hair in braids- "You really do care about us, don't you?"- after I told the class they didn't have to do part of the assignment because it was a disaster! #MTedchat

A2: Virtual Spirit Week!! The kids love it! Valentine's Spirit week is coming right up! #MTedchat

A1: I was able to teach 3 live classes, get all my correcting done, record 3 videos for next week, facilitate my own kids learning, run 3 miles and do a strength workout. All before I made dinner- this is a major accomplishment for me! #MTedchat

Hello #MTedchat I am SO excited to make it tonight! Kim Stout, 4th grade, Helena

Thank you @TraciPiltz and @SarahRainey406 Great chat tonight! #MTEdchat

A5: I want to do nothing but relax, however, I know that won't be the case. I have a feeling I will be working a lot. #MTEdchat

A42: I have also been using @padlet a ton! The kids love it and having the ability to watch kids participate in real-time is nice. #MTEdchat

A4: @Flipgrid Is my current go-to tool. Upcoming Birthday-make a Flipgrid Mixtape; Need to present a science experiment-Flipgrid; Need a book review-Flipgrid; Need to provide feedback to an assignment-Flipgrid. Need a pen pal-Yup-Flipgrid. The possibilities are endless. #MTEdchat

A3: The ability to overcome technology issues from behind a computer screen, patiently, no matter what device. #MTEdchat

A2: Since I am remote, I have done a spirit week twice already- for Halloween and this week for Christmas. Instead of a Holiday program we are making a Twas the Night Before Christmas @Flipgrid to share with families, and the kids are REALLY excited about it! #MTEdchat

A1: I teach 100% online so keeping Ss engaged is an every day issue. I make jokes, dress up, use strange voices. Whatever will make the "computer eyes" light up and keep coming back for more! #MTEdchat
