A3: My big go to in class is GoNoodle. They have tons of SEL activities to do brain breaks or morning "get you started". I also like to read to my class "The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes", it is a great book to show the students that it is okay to make mistakes. #InnovatingPlay.

A2: We do morning meetings every day and how to greet each student. We model how to make eye contact and to make sure they use the students names with the greeting of their choice. #InnovatingPlay.

A1: I have learned that even though we are adults, we still need the emotional support just like our students. With all the different changes this year, we still need structure and balance between learning, fun, and personal time. #InnovatingPlay.

Amanda McCartney Va. Beach, 3rd grade teacher. I am felling great this morning. Drinking coffee while scrolling through Twitter. #InnovatingPlay.

A6: Why was the bride sad at her wedding?. She wasn't marrying the "best-man".#whatisschool.

A5: Yes, sometimes in our PD class at the end or before we start we will do a game to win a prize. Even during faculty meetings, we will do breaks and have a fun activity or they will have us get up and move around. #whatisschool.

A4: I use GoNoodle, Quizizz, and youtube brain breaks. I also have games that I play in my classroom like rock, paper, scissors and scavenger hunt. My students also like digital breakout boxes, and at the end if they escape we have a funny video for them to watch. #whatisschool.

A3: During morning meetings and closing circle the students are allowed to share different things each day. What they liked or had fun doing during the day. We also did scavenger hunts during these times where they went and found certain items in their house. #whatisschool.

A2: We do many brain breaks spread out across the classroom. Brain breaks can include dancing, yoga, would you rather activities etc. We go outside for mini break and recess so the students can run around. #whatisschool.

A1: Currently F2F with 18 students. Have students at table with a shield between them. Guided reading is taught in the hallway so the kids can spread out from each other. #whatisschool.

A3: I really like the conferences I have with goal setting. It allows the student to reflect on what they did well and what they need to do better next time. Also, have open communication within your classroom. I love our morning meeting and closing circle talks. #VBSELchat.

A2: Self-management. Ss are using Achieve to set goals and follow a daily task with Achieve to make them successful. I also have a chart for the Ss to follow so they can manage their time and see when their assignments need to be turned in. #VBSELchat.
