Just in case anyone was wondering, we have the greatest principal EVER. @Angel_Bateman is a blessing and gives unconditionally. @JWEKaty is so lucky to have you!

@AngieBirk T Q1: There are so many to choose from! I would like to help my kids work on their soft skills, as well as work healthy debates into our everyday lessons to work on their critical thinking skills. These skills will definitely be able to be honed online! #jwewildcard

Hey JWE! Let's bring our book study to a close this week by focusing on Part 3: Toolbox. A place I know most of us will turn to in years to come. Here is Question 1 -well it has two parts but we can handle that! #jwewildcard

@AngieBirk T Q3: This year has already challenged me to think outside of the box. No matter what happens, I will continue to push myself to provide the best opportunities to learn and grow. I can't wait to see what this year holds! #jwewildcard

Toolbox:Q3. This will wrap it up folks. I can't wait to read your replies to this one. Thank you all for participating. #jwewildcard

@AngieBirk T Q2: My AHA was the reminder to lean in and take a chance. Mistakes will be made, but everyone will learn and have fun in the process. #jwewildcard

Toolbox:Q2. Happy Wednesday JWE Wildcards! Let us know your AHA! #jwewildcard

@Ms_SparkmanJWE Ch 9-11 A3: I can grow as a colleague through communication and working to find everyone's strengths. If we play to everyone's strengths, then our team will become more unified and cohesive. #jwewildcard

Last question of the week Wranglers! #jwewildcard

@Ms_SparkmanJWE Ch 9-11 A2: I am able to grow as a teacher through reading and PD, but also by reflecting on where I need to work as a professional and seeking out those who have the skills that I am lacking. Some of the best PD is in my hallway! #jwewildcard

I loved reading all of your posts yesterday! Chapters 9-11 Q2... #jwewildcard

@Ms_SparkmanJWE Ch 9-11 A1: My barriers this year are fear of what this year will end up looking like and making sure that I am able to provide what each kiddo needs. I have been and will be relying a ton on my team as we navigate these new waters! #jwewildcard

Happy Tuesday! Chapters 9-11 Q1 #jwewildcard

@MrsCooper2020 @JWEKaty Ch 8 Q3: I make an effort to check in with my kids and find out what makes my kids happy on a regular basis to keep them engaged. I use their names, favorite teams, hobbies in word problems. I try to keep track, so that everyone feels valued. #jwewildcard

Howdy Wrangler Family! Wrapping up our discussion of Chapter 8 today with question 3. #jwewildcard @jwekaty

@MrsCooper2020 @JWEKaty Ch 8 Q2: I try to remind myself that we all bring gifts to the table. When I find myself leaning towards comparison, I reflect on the fact that everyone is on their own path, but ultimately we are all in it for the kids! #jwewildcard

Happy Wednesday! Chapter 8 question 2... #jwewildcard @JWEKaty

@MrsCooper2020 @JWEKaty Ch 8 Q1: I show authenticity in the classroom by being an open book with my kids. I share what is going on with my family and videos of my dog and daughter. I also share my hobbies and interests with them. #jwewildcard

Goooood morning Wranglers! (and I'm hoping the voice that read that in your head sounded like the 5th graders on the announcements!😂) Chapter 8 question 1! #jwewildcard @JWEKaty

@ComeauLC Ch 7 A3: You have to have the bar set high from day one and push yourself and your students to meet that bar every single day. If you begin to accept "good enough" that bar slips, and so do your students! #jwewildcard

@ComeauLC Ch 7 A2: I agree with the "ingredients," but I would add that you need to build the relationships first! #jwewildcard

@ComeauLC Ch 7 A1: I absolutely agree with the Rules of Rigor! I especially think that it is important that everyone must participate--no sitting on the sidelines! #jwewildcard

A golden rule mantra for education. ❤️ #JoyfulLeaders

@lisalklein @MrsSchauer We are SO LUCKY to have you! ❤️

@MrsSchauer Chp5-6A2 I’m moving from 1st to 4th so the whole year is going to be one big different learning experience for me and my students! 😎#jwewildcard

Ch 5-6 Q2: Now that we know what zones we are in, it’s time to take a risk. What are some ways you can offer your students a different learning experience? #jwewildcard

@MsHuerta_JWE Ch 5-6 A3: My goals for this year are to make sure my kids feel loved and supported through all this craziness. I also want to create a classroom where my students are able to laugh and find joy each and every day. #jwewildcard

@MrsZhangJWE @MsHuerta_JWE Girl, you are going to ROCK the math world!

@MsHuerta_JWE A3: This year I am moving to a new subject and I’m not going to lie I am a little nervous. My goal is to keep my confidence. To know that I can do this and I will do great things!

@MrsSchauer Ch 5-6 Q2: This past year our team pushed our boundaries and created Harry Potter Day. I want to push myself to do more "transformations" this year. #jwewildcard

@LeVrier_JWE Ch5-6 Q1: I think that I am in the creative zone. In the last year I have felt comfortable to take chances in my classroom. I am always finding ways to keep the kids engaged and having fun while learning. #jwewildcard

Ok guys! Ch. 5-6 question 1! Page 56 talks about zones. What zone are you in, and why are you there? #jwewildcard

@lisalklein C4 A3: I strive to make my classroom my student’s second home. I work to keep things fun and exciting, so that they buy into what we are learning and never want to leave. #jwewildcard

Chapter 4 Q3: Now that we know your why and how you keep your why alive, let's reflect!! Question 3 is below! #jwewildcard
