There's so much good amazing stuff inside of us, and rather than keep putting stuff in, we want kids to tell us: who are you? Celebrate how you make your mark. @peterhreynolds #thedot #saturdayreunion #tcrwp

The chatbox helps us all grow and learn. Thank you Ryan Scala for always capturing such beautiful ideas prompted by your learning. #TCRWP #SaturdayReunion "Stress stifles creativity. How do we help kids and teachers navigate all this stress so they can unlock creativity?"

Today I led a session on small groups that encourage student agency and these are the mantras of my demonstration! These mantras ground us in small groups and keep our teaching focused on the reader/writer and lead us to self-initiated and independent thinking! #tcrwp

“You are the people that you learn with” —Lucy Calkins #tcrwp ❤️ Grow your community, get into each other’s classrooms, experience dissonance, be ok with not knowing, question, wonder, borrow, outgrow yourself, and bring your uniqueness. Such a powerful session! Thank you!

Outgrow ourselves together with each of us bringing ourselves to our learning community. #tcrwp #kdepride

Thank you Whitney La Rocca for an amazing day of PD focused on writing about reading! I’m so excited for us to support students using what we learned and excited for our upcoming work next month. What a fantastic way to kick off the first week back after the break!

In my hands now! Grades 3 and 4 could be in yours now and grade 5 by the end of the month! Can’t wait to see these in classrooms. ❤️ #PatternsofRevision @writeguyjeff
