Lauren Sullivan in action with small groups at Garfield. Students are highly engaged and room is filled with literacy learning!

201,577...the number of words Alison Rama’s 7-8 period class at Wilson wrote in this year’s Nanowrimo contest for National Novel Writing month. Fun to watch these students learn that they are writers with powerful things to say. @Hamilton_SecIns Wilson Middle School

So excited for Wilson and Linden.

Two of my favorite things..running and books! Great day with the Hamilton Running Club. Garfield, Wilson, HHS students ran in freezing rain and then celebrated. Each runner received Finding Gobi. Shout out to Coach Barrow for all her planning! Finding Gobi #BigBlueOnTheMove

Dramatization, art, writing and music were just a few of the creative ways students in Mrs. Roy’s class celebrated their books. The creative juices were flowing. Hamilton Garfield #BigBlueOnTheMove

Trans=across, port=carry- Mrs. Catt "transports" students over the bridge of understanding by breaking down words and modeling how roots work in her classroom. Consistent practice helps to build strong readers. Wilson Middle School #BigBlueOnTheMove

The Great Debate: Sci-Fi or Fantasy? Students in Mrs. Shockey's class battle over episode of Stranger Things. Students argue reasons for their genre choice in class today. Wilson Middle School

Gemeinhart vs. Berger Battle: Students from Mrs. Berger's LA class created alternate endings to Scar Island. Scar Island was a top choice for students. They want part 2! Mrs. Berger's ending was a class favorite. #BigBlueOnTheMove Dan Gemeinhart Sharon Berger Linden Elementary

Diving into Conversation: Miss Maloney digs into Ghost Boys with insightful conversation with her students. Excitement is building as students are meeting in book clubs to explore themes and more. Hamilton Garfield #BigBlueOnTheMove @CoachMaloneyVB

Writing Aloud: Students in Mrs. Williams 5th grade class at Linden proudly show off their best work after the writing aloud lesson. The energy in the room was contagious. #BigBlueOnTheMove Linden Elementary
