I have to log off now, but I'm so excited to read through all of your tweets soon! Have a great rest of the night and week ahead, everyone! 😃 #2ndchat

@MrAwesomeMullen A2. I know one of my students is a huge Cubs fan, and even though I'm a Sox fan, I'm cool with that, lol! #2ndchat

@kosienm @MrAwesomeMullen Thank you Michelle! I love my students so much, they have been the light of my life these past few weeks.

@AHrechko @MrAwesomeMullen So excited to hear about your journey in 5th grade!

@FirstAtBat @MrAwesomeMullen HI Terry!

@AHrechko @MrAwesomeMullen Hey girl hey! Happy to see you here! #2ndChat

@MrAwesomeMullen My favorite sport is baseball and I'm a lifelong White Sox fan! I also used to do karate and ice skating. #2ndchat

@kosienm Hi #2ndchat! Interested to talk about this topic tonight! I can only stay for about 20 minutes, but I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can during that time.

#2ndchat is getting started! Hope you will be joining us to talk Sports in the Classroom.

We're back! Join us at we talk sports in the classroom tonight at #2ndchat! @AHrechko @allaidlaw @FirstAtBat @LKrantzberg @MrAwesomeMullen @AmyHunter920 @amoore421 @mrsgraves13 @MrsKickert @Cleigh_D @MissDrake204 @ClimbandGrow

Okay, I have to log off now. Thank you all for another amazing chat! Love you all! #2ndchat

A7: What do our SPED students need as we create a new sense of "normal"/return to in-person class? #2ndchat

@adelinerplath Oh my gosh, yes! #2ndchat

@mrsgraves13 @UNICEFKidPower @mariadismondy That's so awesome!

@AHrechko @UNICEFKidPower @mariadismondy Oh, it is! It's a dad that does step by step art that you and your ss can follow along with. I always start w/pencil, and then go back w/sharpie. You can find them either on YouTube, or artforkidshub.com. I also found that my ss like when I give them my drawing at the end!

A3: Really trying to do morning meetings (but not just in the morning!) We also do brain breaks using @UNICEFKidPower and we do Art Hub. Also trying to infuse SEL with the books we read and project we do. (Books by @mariadismondy are great for this) #2ndchat

@sswadvocate7 @kosienm This looks interesting, I'm looking forward to learning more about this! Thank you for sending me this!

@AHrechko @kosienm A2. Casel Core Competencies- I'm a school social worker and base my support on developing these skills. casel.org/fundamentals-o… #2ndchat

Q2 coming up. #2ndchat

@kosienm Thank you, that's so sweet! I love your enthusiasm, too! 💗

@AHrechko Hi Allison! Always great to have your enthusiasm in the chat.

It's time for #2ndchat! Tonight we're talking SEL...so message a friend (or 2), invite them along, ...and let's grow together. Be sure to add #2ndchat to your reply!

@kosienm This is a very important topic to bring up. Many do and many do not. Educating them about SEL will help them to identify this. #2ndchat

A6. Focus on the top for a minute....are parents aware? Do they know if their child is struggling socially/emotionally? #2ndChat

@kosienm A7. We still need to ask how we can truly help best support each individual student during this particular time, and throughout the future. This requires lots of open-mindedness and patience. #2ndchat

Q7 is to keep searching. What else? #2ndchat

@MrAwesomeMullen Absolutely! We need communication between school personnel, students, and families so we can all begin to lean on each other for support. #2ndchat

A6: Communication is key-they need us to support them and remember most have not had their ss in school for over a year #2ndchat

A5: Tough Q! I think it is super important for T's to feel supported & heard by their district. T's should not be made to feel bad for advocating for their ss. Someone mentioned testing/data. It would be nice to do less testing, or at least give T's devices to test on. #2ndchat

A6: Families need consistency from our schools so that they can get back to a "normal" routine again! #2ndchat
