Kids need access to robust libraries curated by educators filled with books that foster their identities in dynamic and culturally representative ways-they will read more, understand more, and be more likely to continue reading when given the opportunity to choose. Apply NOW!

Here’s a challenge: let’s light up their faces with this much excitement by giving them choices of great books that speak to them & handing them books we think they’ll ❤️ because we’ve spent time getting to know them beyond the level at which they read (my nephew is cute, huh?)

Great day spent with great educators for the purpose of making literacy learning more authentic and engaging for our kiddos. Kudos 👏🏻

Hey educators, coaches, & admin- consider joining this free webinar hosted by Lucy Calkins & Amanda Hartman sharing & brainstorming ideas of how to journey through this unprecedented time: 1. zoom.us/webinar/regist… 2. zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Not yet a school day, but we are starting our distance learning with letter-sound practice with name bracelets with letter beads & a card to a friend who moved away!

Day 1-sunday-Stella read to us during circle time, set up centers sorting beads by colors, wrote a card & made a name bracelet to send to a friend, walked & picked flowers-then painted them, read to barbies, made pesto w/ dad, subtracted w/ hotdogs, & played connect 4 w/ her sis

Just bc we are physically distanced from school & one another doesn’t mean we can’t continue to learn, create, & grow ideas. With the 🌎 the way it is, we have lots to think & talk about. Go get ‘em FCPS MS ELA kiddos. We can’t wait to see all you create. Tweet us OSS-Middle School Literacy
