Mrs. Justice, NBCT

Thank you to everyone @MrsRitchie2nd @mrsahlers2nd @beechwoodgrade2 @klarebeechwood who helped me celebrate becoming a National Board Certified Teacher!! #NBCTstrong #StrongerTogether #WeAreBeechwood

Look at this @beechwood_tiger teacher @mrsahlers2nd building relationships and working hard to teach students! #distancelearning #StrongerTogether #wearebeechwood

So special to have a visit from your teachers!! Thank you for such a special treat!!

Kicking off our first science unit with Mad science day!!! #adventure2020 #KidsDeserveIt

@klarebeechwood @Flipgrid @mrs_gasser That would be awesome!!!

@MrsJustice2nd @Flipgrid @mrs_gasser Jill, my Ss can teach your Ss how to use @Flipgrid! I would love to help you get it set up too! You could create a video in your back to school letter to kids to test it out. This will be my third year using it and it gets better each year! You will catch #FlipgridFever! 🤗

A3: I plan on continuing to use @Flipgrid this year. I am stoked about the new features it has to offer Ts to create a global collaborative classroom. @mrs_gasser and I have discussed how the AR QR feature will be awesome for Ss to reflect on work posted in hallway. #PEAKTIGERS

A4: Implementing OG this year will change our Literacy Center Word Work station. I’m thinking maybe that station can become a time when students choose a topic they are passionate about to research and find a way to create something to share their learning! #PEAKTIGERS

Last question for today's chat: Q4: The 'A' in PEAK is around Agency...students creating learning experiences, setting goals, managing progress, and evaluating their work. What are small steps we could take to afford students and teachers more agency this year? #PEAKTIGERS

A1: This year I heard about many successful breakout games in classrooms! It involves lots of teamwork and communication, which is great! In the text they discuss the importance of giving students the opportunity to create. I would like to include more creating! #PEAKTIGERS

@MrsEnglishBES Storyworks is amazing!! Such engaging resources!!

We are enjoying story works for literacy class! #leadlearnchat

@klarebeechwood @nadinegilkison A2: I love to incorporate Kagan strategies into my classroom to encourage all students to participate!! #Kagan #leadlearnchat

A2: I love the #hyperdoc community and I am thankful for people like @nadinegilkison who share their amazing work with other Ts! #leadlearnchat

@RaybuckCubs What a great idea!!! All the kids love the floss!!

A1: I taught my students the “Floss Rule”! The students flossed while learning how to double the -ff, -ll, -ss & -zz following a short vowel! #leadlearnchat

@DaraStiles Oh yes!!! That lesson is always such a hit!! I love observing the students during it!

I think my S’s would choose our lesson about self-control as a time when they had fun being a learner. The S’s are given mini-marshmallows in this lesson and have to demonstrate “self-control”. #leadlearnchat

@MrsEnglishBES Mystery Science is so engaging! Doug does a great job leading the lessons!!

A1:my ss would say they enjoyed making locks and trying to unlock them with magnets in the mystery science magnet lesson. They also LOVE any kahoot game. #leadlearnchat

@klarebeechwood A1: My students still talk about exploring the steps of the scientific method with the elephant toothpaste experiment! #leadlearnchat

Jill Justice, 2nd grade, excited #leadlearnchat

@zacharywashley Thank you Mr. Ashley for helping us Rock our School today! The students were so excited you helped out with our Elephant Toothpaste investigation! #RockYourSchool #WeAreBeechwood
