A4: I simply remind myself that our students really do want to spend the school day learning, and that part of that process is the fun banter and curiosity that helps to enliven any class period, even when many kids might "front" like they don't enjoy school. #CCMSChat #Culturize
Q4: Share one strategy you use to help yourself come to #CCMS with a positive attitude every day. #Culturize #CommUNITY #CCMSChat #FalconPride

A3: I strive to model patience in responding to others because it feels like snappy, harsh, responses are almost the norm. We need to remember that most people are not out to get us or offend us, and to help students see this too. #CCMSChat #Culturize
Q3: #Culturize emphasizes modeling expectations. What is one value you model at #CCMS? What is one value you WANT to model more in our #CommUNITY? #CCMSChat #FalconPride @CCMS_Eck @MrsDebraRyland @mrG_ccmsReading @MrMacCCMS @SnydesCCMS @misskennyesl @PattersonCCMS @MsOblinsky
A2: I think that part of why #ExpectingExcellence is so critical is that doing otherwise is kind of a put-down. It doesn't just "demand" greater effort from ourselves and students, but also suggests what we think they're capable of. #CCMSChat #Culturize
Q2: @casas_jimmy said that "striving for excellence each day is a lifestyle." Share your beliefs on the importance of #ExpectingExcellence! #Culturize #CCMSChat #FalconPride @CCMS_Eck @MrsDebraRyland @mrG_ccmsReading @MrMacCCMS @SnydesCCMS @misskennyesl @PattersonCCMS @MsOblinsky
Let's see those haiku pictures! Extra credit for anyone with the guts to tweet theirs to a wider audience beyond Moodle.
Answer to yesterday's riddle: he has big feet. Most people assume that the person in question is female, and therefore don't give the simplest and most plausible answer.
Why did the blonde always buy shoes in a men's size 14? Bring in your answer (with an explanation of the critical thinking behind it) to get extra credit tomorrow. Warning: correct answer does not disparage any group of people.
