Q4: We are going to San Diego for a week….with a day at Disneyland! I’m pumped to relax and have quality time with my fam. 💕 I’m hoping to learn how to balance being a mom, teacher, and myself. I give a lot all day but I need to find time for me too. School related, 🤷🏻♀️😂 #Txed

A2: I failed every now and then on morning announcements! Said a wrong word, or tripper over my words. I always tell the students, “it’s okay, I can still make it a great day even though I messed up in front of everyone!” #txed

A3: I’m not sure that I used a specific resource, but I did incorporate a lot of STEAM activities and @gregtangmath during our intervention time. My students loved it and I got to see them think outside of the box! #TXed

A1: I am really proud of how much we celebrated students this year! We had Fri-yays (where Ts sent Ss to admin for academic celebrations), Akers’ All-Stars (positive character award), and celebrations pre-benchmarks and STAAR for all the hard work students have done. #TXed

A2: I want to do a better job of celebrating strong attendance. Whether it be class, grade level, or individual…finding a way to celebrate being at school. We can’t learn if we aren’t present. #TXed

@JPullanoUP2 I made that jump before…6th grade to 1st! Two totally different worlds!
English
Q2: I survived going down to 2nd grade after being in 5th/6th for the last 7 years. 😅 But really I felt good about how I incorporated stations and meeting with each student in small groups. #TXed

A2: My reading instruction was all over the place after my district adopted a new curriculum. We were all flying the plane without knowing how to manage it. Now that I have a year under my belt I know what worked and what didn’t. #TXed

A2: I just started using old board games and turning them into review games in my classroom. For example, I just turned Candy Land into a phonics review game. They kids LOVED it. #TXed

@Tommyspall I do a mixture of both! This week we have a math review escape room on google classroom and last week I made a phonics game using a Candy Land board. It all works!
English
@JPullanoUP2 Yes! Right on, Jennifer! Do you lean more digital... or non-digital when it comes to gamification in your classroom? #txed
English
A1: What kid doesn’t love a little competition?! It’s a game but there are learning and practicing new content or reviewing old. I love using games to get my kids engaged. #TXed
TXed Team@TXEDMod
Q1: Thinking both digitally and non-digitally (examples to come in Q2 and Q3), why is it important to teach our students with engaging lessons and content? How does gamifying our classrooms increase student engagement? #TXed Reply with "A1" and use the hashtag, #TXed

DeCordova, TX 🇺🇸 English
A4 - A sense of realism, authenticity, humor, time for processing, a sense of "play" within the day. I want the PD I attend to be worth the time investment. I don't want to count the PD hours. I want the PD hours to count.
Oh. And free swag #Txed
