Relatable?

“Too many children experience reading in the classroom as little more than extracting and recording information from the text, rather than a freeing intellectual exploration.” Kylene Beers & Bob Probst Read their full Bring Me a Book Toolkit here: bringmeabook.org/wp-content/upl…

Quiet, perfectly placed classroom BEFORE vs. busy, creatively not perfect classroom NOW! Five days into a new school year. It's great to be back in action! #ProudToBeAKnight

#IDOETLBootcamp collaborative learning with teacher leaders to better serve our students, families, and communities. Great day with Dr. Rebecca Estes @innotativeamy and UCHICAGO Impact

Mr. Paulsen has given me so many opportunities for conversation with students and sparked many young readers' interest in his amazing stories. Thank you for your gift. Rest in peace.

Great debates start with simple questions. Evidence presented supported that Oreos ARE cookies, pizza SHOULD be eaten with hands, and an ice cream sandwich IS ice cream. 6th graders have spoken.

I'm so glad that I chose to take this path today...

#FunFriday owl art to accompany our reading of Hoot by -. To add to the fun, paint bottles sounded like Garrett 🤣

Ss creating graphic novel version of Rosa Parks: My Story. Can't wait to see the final products during Thursday's Gallery Walk! (PS - you can't hear this, but our room is SILENT as they create)

Ss creating #graphicnovel old school and with tech. Love the detail and thought put into these!

You know what's great? When, after 2 weeks of spring break, you and your kids fall back into a rhythm like no time has passed. I really do have a FANTASTIC group of 6th graders! ❤️🤓

Yes, we can share quantitative data on the ROI of bringing together teacher leaders from across the entire state for a year of #IDOETLBootcamp, but this speaks qualitative volumes about how they will remain connected and build each other up beyond our year together.

Today was our final official day to connect and cultivate new ways of thinking with caring educational leaders. Looking forward to continuing contact in our group! #IDOETLBootcamp

I'm giving away 30 signed copies of This Is a School for a classroom teacher or teacher-librarian to give away to students on the first day of school. RT before 7/20 at 11:00 p.m. CDT to enter the drawing. candlewick.com/cat.asp?mode=b…

Making the move from 6th to 2nd! Can't wait to work with the littles, but could use a little help building my calming area & NF library 🙏 amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

One more sleep...
