Loved having @MrPStrunk visit our #firstgrade class today! Everyone enjoyed his enthusiastic read aloud of "What Should Danny Do?" He was even invited by students to stay for recess!
And on that note... #waledchat officially enters retirement. Thank you so much for being here tonight to send #waledchat off. This has been a special community, I hope you have seen that over the years. Thank you all so much for your time over the years. I wish you all the best!
A1: I’ve grown in my ability to reflect on both the good and bad. Failing at one moment or one lesson does not mean you’re a bad teacher. It presents an opportunity to replan and try again. #waledchat

A1: I am home with our son this year instead of teaching at school, but I love watching him learn so quickly! He knows so many knew words and loves to read books. #waledchat
Laura Beth from Winchester, VA. I taught 1st grade for the past 7 years but am staying home to be with our son this year! Favorite thing to bring to a staff potluck is soup or cookies! #waledchat

We had a history lesson for National Teddy Bear day! In his Little President book, Zeke learned that a shop owner named teddy bears after Theodore Roosevelt. 🧸 @MrPStrunk

A2: I loved virtual teaching! It allowed me to think creatively as well as have the opportunity to teach without as much pressure to manage behaviors within the classroom. #waledchat
