A8. The first few days are rough for both you and the students. Just be genuine with the students -- they will know if you are faking it. #t2tchat #edusky #educhat

A7. Have things to do that bring you joy outside of school! For me, it's playing tennis and theater. #t2tchat #edusky #educhat

A6. I always love playing 2 Truths And A Lie, or Would You Rather? Both get students to think critically ad learn new info about their new classmates. #t2tchat #edusky #educhat

A5. Other ELA teachers in my school have used AI for students to help them brainstorm ideas and edit, but not for writing the assignments themselves. If anyone else has done this, let me know your thoughts! #t2tchat #edusky #educhat

A4. I make sure I send an email to parents at the beginning of the year, saying how excited I am to have their child in my class. Parents typically appreciate it. #t2tchat #edusky #educhat

A3. I look up what languages my students speak, so that way I include the word "hello" in everybody's language. #t2tchat #edusky #educhat

Smile! We may have been teaching the same subject and grade for years, but it's likely the S's first time taking your class and subject! #t2tchat #edusky #educhat

Q1. There’s so much happening during the first weeks of school. What’s one thing you want to be sure to remember to do? #T2Tchat #Edusky

Just joined! I’m a YA author that’s querying one novel (speculative fic) and writing another (contemporary/coming of age). I’m also a screen and stage actress.

Let’s connect! Always looking for writing friends. ✨

Learning about curriculum compacting with #EdCampNj and it’s very interesting! I’ll definitely use this in my honors class soon! @allisonheather1.bsky.social
