I introduced a class of 1st graders to #choralcounting this week. When I came back a few days later, they were so excited to show me the choral count they had done without me that they asked to hang the poster outside the door so I would see it right away. ❤️

Every teacher was a student once. Students of color are not likely to return to school to become teachers of color if they did not have a positive experience in school the first time around. The recruitment pipeline starts in math class not at the career fair. #octmchat

I've been waiting all my life for this book of poems for kids about writing! Congratulations, my beautiful friend, @amylvpoemfarm ! Adorable trailer! "Writing is discovery/not knowing can be wise."

Today I shared the Talk Read Talk Write strategy with grade level teams Voigt AIA a structure to promote discourse and increase processing time. I paired it with Math Mystery, vocabulary review, and Numberless Word Problems. #ElemMathChat #MTBoS #iteachmath #numberlesswp

Amazing news!! Gina Picha, Ed.D. is going to share her powerful ideas about math instruction with us all! So excited to read her book. I’m ready to preorder my copy now! Congratulations, Gina!

I have heard people say that daily exercise has helped them to feel healthy and balanced. I have realized that no matter what else we accomplish or don’t accomplish, doing a number talk with my kids changes our moods for the better. Daily exercise for our brains. 💜 Sherry Parrish

Thank you for sharing, Brianna! I hope you are enjoying our course. I know you will do amazing things to support your kinder readers and writers this fall! 📚📝 Ashlie Harr @CorinnaRRISD #summeRRcamp Round Rock ISD #lifelonglearner

During the month when we're surrounded by new people, building strong relationships must be our primary goal. The community we build is foundational for our resilience.

I got to hold my book in my hands for the first time today! Can’t wait to see you all today at 2:30. CC 153 BC. #conferringinmath Stenhouse Publishers

“Any discussion of the science of reading that does not include a discussion of racism is not really a discussion.” I'm on IG, Threads, and Bluesky -@sonjacherrypaul #NCTE22

Paraphrasing Gholdy Muhammad: we are so focused on drilling skills, but when those skills are absent of intellectualism — absent of learning about the world around you — the skills are meaningless. #NCTE22

Some of my favorite people all in one place ❤️

Phonics instruction is essential. That isn’t all. Educators can’t afford this “war;” we have important work to do for our children. Let’s make sure we know the whole story. And, then let’s get to work. OPINION: A call for rejecting the newest reading wars hechingerreport.org/opinion-a-call…
