We are late to the December coding party, but the kindergarten crew got in on it today! Thanks @jthorstad for helping us out! The kids had a blast! @isd544otters @hourofcode #kindergarten

@Principal_EL Thanks for sharing you positivity!

20 years ago I wrote a book about choosing to stay in teaching…in the city! Now these words mean much more! I’m choosing to stay in the gym! In the lives of my kids! Choosing to stay in this life! We need to check on friends & family so more people can Choose to Stay! #Philly

@TrevDon That has to be the snack pantry for a youth group!

First thought that comes to mind

@MrsBWallick We will have to try it out.

@mckgarten This is kindergarten.

To celebrate Hour of Code last week we programmed gingerbread to get to a gingerbread house by collecting treats and jumping over an enemy! #HourOfCode #unplugged #k2cantoo

@ChrisQuinn64 No voice today - interested day in kindergarten!!

@teacherquit Oh my!!! Why???

Our admin are doing formal observation today. Kids are dressed up for winter break in hats and it is the last week before break. Why? #reasonsteachersquit

@JennyHerkins @HeritageECS Love to see these toys out with “big kids” as well!

@teacher2teacher With a great hook - meaningful and exciting to their 5/6 year old lives.

How do you prep your learners for a brand-new topic? #TeacherTwitter

Oops - I forgot creativity!

Christmas has landed in Kindergarten along with the rest of the BIG Cs: collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. @isd544otters #kindergarten

@nickiatquest @QuestJrHS @MsPaige_w @MrsH_in8th @akindclassroom Love this!!

Annual teacher swap! I started this tradition years ago! All teachers swap roles for a day to keep things fun and engaging on one of the days leading up to Christmas break! #whyiquest #schoolculture @QuestJrHS #uted @MsPaige_w @MrsH_in8th @akindclassroom #forthestudents

@mrswyatt247 Us too.

When does everyone get out for Christmas break??? We have school through the 21st! 😳 This is the longest we have gone in December!!

@JennyHerkins @EiE_org @HeritageECS Love this so much! Hands on learning = highly engaged learners! ❤️

@teacher2teacher @susanupnorth Love this!!

A lesson that feels fresh and ... appetizing? By presenting choices as a "menu," T @susanupnorth serves up a small perspective shift. Try one of these 6 ways to adjust a familiar routine & share your choice using #TeachTogetherT2T. teacher2teacher.education/get-a-boost-of…

Had a fabulous art lesson in K with artist Sara Ronnevik. It was a great reminder that we need to paint MORE! #art @isd544otters @teacher2teacher

@AndreaMango1 @Dodge_WCSD Love it!!

I always knew I was making a difference as a regular classroom teacher, but to hear from parents how I am inspiring creativity in their child at home as their #STEAM teacher, means the world to me.❤❤❤ @Dodge_WCSD
