@meredithakers I love this idea! What grade is this geared toward?

A5: there is LOADS of research behind the effectiveness of the jigsaw strategy. I blogged about a way to #shakeuplearning by using this strategy to have STUDENTS create learning playlists for each other: meredithakers.com/2018/03/12/stu…. #txed

@BarbaraGruener Thank you for sharing! I like this!

A4: If you see students engaged, growing and talking about it. If they are excited...they will be motivated to do more! #READ5305 #txed

A3: Give them more free play! (Especially elementary) It's amazing how students will learn to problem solve when they have to work together during play. #READ5305 #txed

A2: How to deal with failure; How to problem solve; How to colloborate and respect others with different opinions; How to be kind! #READ5305 #txed

A1: STAAR test! #READ5305 #txed

Hi! Kelli and IST for reading and math for grades 1 - 4 #READ5305 #txed

A4: My first grad class I immediately questioned why I had signed up for it! My husband told me that I could quit (he knew this was not an option in my mind) I am so thankful I "stuck with the hard stuff"...I am better for doing it! #READ5305 #kidsdeserveit

@ahagenclass @MissField5 What is your favorite technology that you use in your class? #READ5305 #kidsderveit

A2: @MissField5 really opened my eyes to technology and doing what's best for the students. She fired up my passion for teaching that had dimmed over the years. #kidsdeserveit

A2: A student I taught years ago. He had many "things" going against him, BUT he came every morning with a huge smile and was always ready to learn. The picture of his smile in my mind presses me to be my best everyday! #READ5305 #kidsdeserveit

A1: I didn't think that I would ever teach again after my first year! (21 years ago!) I didn't allow my "bad" experience to stop accomplishing my dream of being a teacher! I am SO thankful I did not give up! #READ5305 #kidsdeserveit

My name is Kelli! I'm an IST for reading and math grades 1-4 from Texas! #READ5305 #kidsdeserveit

A8: Awesome chat! Thank you! #READ5305 #dojochat

A7: Walk every morning, finish strong with my two grad classes! #READ5303 #dojochat

A6: Extend my time meeting with students...our time goes by so quickly! #READ5305 #dojochat

A5: Our classroom (I share it with 2 other ISTs) was in a portable last year...moving inside for next year! WooHoo! So, not much this summer since it's in transition! #dojochat #READ5305

A4: Read, READ, READ!!!!!! Whatever, whenever, however!!! #dojochat #READ5305

A3: I would own a bed and breakfast! I love to cook and host! #READ5305 #dojochat

@jackievanname @ClassDojo I second this! #dojochat #READ5305

@ClassDojo Q2: I always wanted to be teach or be a counselor. Teaching in the district I teach in I get to be be both. I have always loved seeing children grow academically and morally. Knowing that I can share some positive light in children’s lives is what keeps me going. #dojochat

Q2 A moment of reflection on WHY you signed up for this crazy, hectic, heartwarming, heartbreaking, exhausting job 😉 #dojochat

@Hannah_leonard1 I agree! #dojochat #READ5305

A2: I am a teacher beacuse teaching is the most rewarding job there is! It is definitely hard work but watching your students grow as learners and seeing the lightbulb go off is the most rewarding thing in my opinion. #dojochat #READ5305
