A virtual learning experience about the Holocaust and pink frosted cupcakes to celebrate the end of the historical fiction unit and our favorite read aloud, Number the Stars! 💖

Runyan’s annual soccer game was a success! Thank you to Conroe High School, Conroe ISD soccer team and the Houston Dynamo FC for coming out and making it an exciting event for our kiddos! ⚽️ 💛

2nd grade students had fun while learning about financial literacy! They made and sold class products with bucks they earned from the past few weeks!

One-sided journalism at its best. A K-2 program that doesn’t include phonics instruction is a ridiculous concept, laughable to expect that it would have sustained school districts for decades and this article somehow unearthed some glaring ‘truth.’ nytimes.com/2022/05/22/us/…

We can’t look at these faces and do nothing. #PrayersForUvalde #PrayersForRobbElementary #EndGunViolence Ted Cruz Senator John Cornyn

Read a new poem from Amanda Gorman, “Hymn for the Hurting” — written after the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, this week. nyti.ms/3lPu1CS

If you’re looking for a good read definitely recommend this! Found it in an Newsela article that came out about 90+ yr old Lily and her TikTok account yes, TikTok! Never have I read an account of the Holocaust as eye-opening as this. Must read!! 🥹#lilyspromise

Instead of a Behavior Management Plan, let's begin next school year by asking every teacher to create a Relationship Building Plan. #LeadK12chat

Great post on letting go of graphic organizers because…well, writers aren’t all the same! TY Leah Koch for writing about this important topic

💯 I say this all the time!!! Kids need to view their digital reading as an extension of their book box/stack. Not something that’s “more fun” on specified day of the week!!#nomorefunfriday

Part 1 of Using Literacy Data to Inform Instruction- Teachers worked collaboratively to identify student *strengths* and needs from their literacy data! Jennifer Serravallo Fountas & Pinnell Solution Tree

4th grade writing collections and 2nd grade nonfiction reading kickoff! One of my favorite things about TCRWP units of study is how engaging they are! 💚

Great read! Big misconception! “PLC” is the way we function, not a meeting! I hear the term ”PLC” being used to refer to a meeting from people in education all. the. time. solutiontree.com/blog/what-is-a…

4th grade TCRWP Historical Fiction Unit! Setting up for success by deciding their club name & creating norms! Tomorrow choosing books, then building background knowledge for their era before the unit begins!

Students chose their HF book club book, then researched their era to grow background knowledge and take notes about the setting! Engagement off the charts! ♥️

Merry belated Christmas to us! ⭐️New Reading Strategies Book 2.0 AND ⭐️New K-2 Reading Units of Study!!! 🤩 Can’t wait to dig into these with our teachers! 💛

Celebrations:: Labsites, student centered test prep, and data driven reading logs! 💕
