Look at this amazing K teacher trying out the shared reading strategy, “Prove It” with her class!!! Making MSV conrete for these kids!! Clara Love ES @NorthwestELA TCRWP

A7 Making student pieces into the class mentors helps kids to see relatable examples, connect with peers, and celebrate each other. Read student work like it’s the most precious read aloud all year. #tcrwp #ruos #wuos

"If you've got worksheets in your workshop that's a problem." -Lucy Calkins #kellerliteracy #TCRWP

80% of academic vocab comes before the age of 6 and it doesn't come from conversation- it comes from hearing books read aloud. 1 year of intense read aloud mimics this language growth. -Mary Ehrenworth #kellerliteracy #TCRWP

Pro tips: assign kids book shopping days outside of workshop time and have them book shop with their partner. -Jonathan Aldanese #kellerliteracy #TCRWP

If your age is 20, the time is 11:34 a.m. If you’re 30, the time is 1:51 p.m. At age 40, the time is 4:08 p.m. By the time you reach 50, it’s 6:25 p.m. If you’re 60, the time is 8:42 p.m. And if you’re 70, it’s 11:00 p.m. Use your time wisely.

It's easy to trust God when He does what we want; it's the other times when we grow.

Now, more than ever, it is important to actually TEACH, not just ASSIGN. Kids write better when they are surrounded by other writers, EVEN VIRTUALLY! Demonstrate your own writing AND let them see each other writing silently—online. You CAN replicate workshop magic online. #tcrwp

Ideas for making teaching in 2020 (a little) more sustainable meredithakers.com/2020/09/27/ide…

What is the #1 way research has shown to develop phonemic awareness? Inventive spelling! Amanda Hartman my mind is blown. "Hopefully, Ss are spending a lot of time in writers workshop stretching out sounds and trying to record them." #KellerLiteracy #TCRWP

Here’s what teachers not only to need to hear right now, but also need to KNOW in their hearts: -Good Enough -I am Competent -I don’t need to do everything. -Keep moving FORWARD... Thank you Brooke Geller TCRWP

There comes a time when we need to stop planning to do something and actually do it. Whether that’s something as simple as read a book instead of watching TV or a bigger goal like growing professionally, eventually, it’s time to take action. #edchat

Conferring = I SEE you Brooke Geller @tcwrp

What’s in a compliment? SO much! Whether you’re rapidly engaging Ss in compliment conferences or another conferring structure, being mindful of how a compliment is worded is key #LiteracyTipTuesday #RSDreading #RSDwriting #RSDLearns

Mystery Tip #9: Barney Gibble jot from S3 is still our favorite! Alissa Reicherter & I talk about it & laugh! Concerned about jots this year? Put some on a jamboard, kids can post what they notice & use the jots as mentors. Don’t stop there! Get kids talking off the notes. #tcrwp
