Looking for the launch site and any other details available #STRATOSTAR0634.

Love how I can msg my Ss in Live Classroom! :) #IXLLive.

I did it!! Master’s degree in Educational Leadership!!

Textbook arrival + snow day = time for learning! 😊#EdLeadership #JMU

Chocolate at school tomorrow? Yes, please! #dayafterHalloween #TeacherStash.

Adding integers @Desmos. Ss talking, thinking and creating. Table covered in beautiful math. Love it!!

A7: Moving from a place of FEAR to a place of HOPE requires intentionally embracing a culture of positivity and a growth mindset. Give an abundance of encouragement and love. Replay positive feedback over and over. Turn "failure" into learning. Be grateful. Always. #MasteryChat.

A5: Stress indicators: crying, meltdowns, irritability, isolation, disengagement. Ss and Ts need patience and energy now more than ever. How? Give grace, practice self care, drink coffee. Repeat. :) #MasteryChat.

A4: Great question! Worry and stress show up daily, but it helps to know that we are all in this together. I find calm in friendship and collaboration with colleagues during the day and being with my family in the evenings.#MasteryChat.

A3: Safety cues are open lines of communication. Knowing that every precaution is in place; protocol followed. All are cared for and loved. Parents are more involved and students benefit from increased interaction.#MasteryChat.

A1: My Ss began the year virtually but will return to hybrid soon. They need to feel safe physically and emotionally so they can engage relationally and academically. I think both teachers and students have a new appreciation for our learning environment. #MasteryChat.

Hello #MasteryChat, I’m a math teacher from Virginia looking forward to hearing from everyone tonight. It’s been awhile and I’m glad to be back. :).

Learning is key! Being intentional with every word in feedback. but realizing that words come from thoughts. So it’s my thinking that needs shifting and the right words will follow. I want my students to ask, “What did I learn?” not “What is my grade?”.

When you get a parent email after hours, 😯 because their child wants to send you pics of their new go-kart!! Reply? Absolutely!! Love it!! 😁😁#connecting #relationships #impact @NorthForkMS.

Thank you to all the hard-working teachers out there! You are putting in hours and hours, addressing technical issues and errors, creating content in new ways, loving and connecting with your students! Tomorrow is Friday!! Celebrate survival!!.

Teachers, if you have an AMAZING team, give a Shout Out to your principal! My team was put together this year with careful thought by @NoonanAnnmarie. Collaboration is PURE JOY! :) @NorthForkMS @ShenCoVASchools.

So excited to see this!! Just today my co-teacher and I were discussing the need for Ss to really conceptualize the operations. Thank you,@robertkaplinsky for sharing these. Love @openmiddle!.

First Annual Educator’s Day of Running @TeacherFit_ @NorthForkMS @ShenCoVASchools 6-8 a.m.— I ran/walked to North Fork Middle School, my fab place of practice🥰, and back home on my own two feet!! My husband joined me. 6.5 miles! Woohoo!!

Bitmoji classroom adds fun for Ss online. I rewarded myself with the chance to play with this after I completed some time-intensive online assignments today. Done. And done. :) #TimeToPlay #TeachersPlayToo

SO and huge thanks to NFMS Admin Team for the delicious Teacher Appreciation drive-through lunch that also supported local businesses! I ❤️ my school family!! @NorthForkMS
