Montcrest Team #1 develops a great, eco idea to protect plants during times of drought and storms. #FDSInnovates #FuturePrize20, @cisontario @fdesignschool @montcrest

@GreeningRoom @jennbairos You know more than you think you do. You are an incredible woman. #cohort21

@jennbairos A3: Eek, trying to evolve in front of Ss & new admin all while feeling like #Imanimposter #cohort21 #tbh

Q3 - Time to get serious :) We are always encouraging our students to take risks. Have you modelled this lately? #cohort21

@ScienceShimmers This made me laugh. I sing one per year in my math class - a silly song about adding integers. I cannot sing, so the kids think it's hilarious. #cohort21

A3: I invited the music teacher into my class to help us learn some songs despite wanting to say all the time "I'm not good at singing", I just sang my heart out and gave the kids no excuse to not sing. #cohort21 #mykidcrieswhenIsing #risktakerwithsound

A3: One is that I started a learning strategies course for grade 7 and 8. As there is no set curriculum, I have define it myself. #cohort21

@sciencewithMsLu @ScienceShimmers Thanks for this. It sounds like something we could use for learning strategies class and for our student leadership program. #cohort21

@ScienceShimmers his book focuses on camp situations and youth in leadership roles but they have really small things I think are super important like, smiling when talking, or being an active listener! Happy to bring the book at our next F2F #cohort21

@ScienceShimmers do you ever have sing offs? I might do grade 10 karaoke more than I should #cohort21

a2. I appreciate the support from Emma Stewart who showed me how to use Tweetdeck!! My stepdaughter was impressed that I knew what it was. #cohort21

I get so much support from my incredible colleagues @jennbairos and emma stewart. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone else. Looking forward to talking about math! #cohort21

@jennbairos You are kind.

@DawnMCohen I'm sure their rockstar teacher had something to do with it :) #cohort21

A1. Hello Everyone!! Thank you Jenn!! I am Dawn from Montcrest. A highlight of my day was teaching math this morning with my grade 8s. After much hard work, they are doing well with the understanding of fractions and exponents. #cohort21

@L_Bettencourt7 Yes. The days are anything but quiet. This time to reflect is a gift. #Cohort 21

A1: Hi! My name is Lisa, I’m a technology coach. Comm. and design tech teacher. I coach soccer and hockey. One highlight would be this moment of gratitude for TwitterTeaChats #cohort21 Quiet reflection is wonderful and I’m happy to share it with all of you

@trayc4teach My amazing colleague Jenn Bairos. I can see how this experience has inspired her. I felt that after so many years teaching, this was important for me to do. #Cohort21

Q4 - What has inspired you to grow as an educator? (aka why did you sign up for Cohort21?) #cohort21

@trayc4teach A3: professional It feels wonderful to have this time to have a complete thought, to meet other people who do what I do, and talk about things that are feel important to me. #Cohort21

Q3: Choose one word to summarize your day so far and why? #cohort21

@trayc4teach @danielwillingham He is a cognitive scientist with excellent insight for educators. #cohort21

Q2:What educator should you follow and why? #cohort21
