The kids love it when they see their teachers there. I hear it all the time.#LPEdChat xitter.cf/HGMS_GutierrezP/status…
Replying to @EricWernli
A2: I try to go to their events like shows, concerts and sports. We spend a few minutes sharing highlights. They know I don’t have to go but I am choosing to be there to support them. #LPedchat

This reminds me of the toy box at the dentist office when I was a kid. Sadly, I could endure the drill knowing I was getting something. #LPEdChat xitter.cf/SenoritaHGMS/status/96…
#LPEdChat a small token to celebrate that S’s achievement goes a long way! Fortunate to have @NISDGarcia Gladiator Games $$$ awarded for 2 years now for S incentives!

That would be awesome to get actual old polaroid cameras...of course I'm too young to remember the original, but....#lpedchat xitter.cf/faro_neisd/status/9683…

It's a cardboard cut out with celebration decor that students stand in and take a selfie. Then we print out the photo and hang it in the tunnel. #lpedchat xitter.cf/EricWernli/status/9683…

A4: What about a traveling photo frame/Polaroid so we can post in hamster tunnel? #lpedchat

And no time away from instruction. Can't get much better! #LPEdChat xitter.cf/SenoritaHGMS/status/96…
#LPEdChat A3: As a whole “celebrating” happens naturally throughout instruction by acknowledging how Ss are catching on whether T to S or peer to peer. I often hear them tell each other “Muy bien!”

That takes zero time away from instruction!!! xitter.cf/lackeyangie/status/968…
A3: Celebrations are vital to student achievement and can be tied to instruction. At the end of a student project we celebrate by reflecting on our work: gallery walks, shoes off to watch presentations or eating popcorn while giving feedback to peers #LPedchat

A3: I never felt I did this enough when I taught #LPedChat
A2: simplicity can be just as genuine #LPedchat
