A3 Perfection. Some lessons were messy, some units ran long, and some ideas stayed in my head instead of the classroom. And that’s fine. The major successes for me are not measured by students' content knowledge but social growth, independence, and curiosity. #PLFchat #edusky

A2 We use “Before & After” prompts, for example What did you think about ___ at the start of the year? What do you think about it now? It’s powerful to see how their thinking shifts over time. #PLFchat #edusky

A1 I take 30 minutes a day in May to document what worked—and what definitely didn’t. I make voice notes or quick lists while it’s still fresh. Future me always thanks past me for the clarity. 🩷 #PLFchat #edusky

Bonnie ✨ Educate on Purpose @biologygoddess.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

A2 I thread review and retrieval practice into collaborative games (like '3-2-1 with a twist”), then give students choices for knowledge demonstration. Keeps the energy up without losing depth. 🦩✨ #PLFchat #edusky

A2 A fictional character I'd invite to my classroom this week is The Cheshire Cat. I've been using a lot of Roald Dahl quotes recently :) "If you don't know where you want to go, then any path will do I suppose." #PLFchat #edusky

Bonnie ✨ Educate on Purpose @biologygoddess.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

A1 My go-to activity is asking kids "What can a person do with what you just learned?" It brings up coversations about problems they have encountered or ideas they have to make learning meaningful. #PLFchat

A3 I have always used sentence frames to scaffold academic discourse with students. I want to begin to use them with more fidelity now that kids have had time to get comfortable with them. #PLFchat #edusky
