Stayed up past my #teacher bedtime to work on some small group mini-lessons for my writers. Kids will be giving input & signing up for sessions! #TheWritingStrategies book always coming in clutch for easy & effective teaching! 🖤💚📖 See you tomorrow, Danielle Creamer

Goal setting on #InfinityMI & then getting to work on some strategies! Today, we had a help session on organizing our narrative drafts by putting our story in order. The Writing Strategies Book is a game changer to help boost writing confidence! 📝🔥 #MasonMomentum #MIStrong

Just ordered some books for Mock CSK awards … Can’t wait for kids to get a peek at some of these titles! 🖤🏀💦 #mockcsk #mockcorettascottking #mockawards #kidlit #kidlitart

Had a great Starbooks to celebrate all things nonfiction on Friday! Keeping our reading habits & #MasonMomentum - #MIStrong 📖💪🏼🖤 Can’t wait to launch our Tackling Text Complexity Workshop unit this week!

Tried different variations of mentor sentences over the years but this book choice plus the simple routine was 🔥 Loved getting to share a favorite read aloud with my fifths & watching them grow as writers! 🖤💚 #MIStrong #Kidlit #kidlitart

Starting to brainstorm ideas for our “Podcasting Projects” during FLEX. So many great ideas from Sports GOATs to the Titanic to Haunted Histories! Wow! 💻🎧 Thanks Mason 3-6 PTO for the grant to get this project started! #MasonMomentum #MIStrong #InfinityMI cagnie france

This would be a wonderful companion to our fantasy reading unit! 💙🤞🏼 Such a fun & engaging way to grow writers!

That smile you make when your district is giving you choice, voice & ownership in professional learning! 🙌🏼 Can’t wait to keep up the #MasonMomentum & dig into conferring to meet our readers’ needs. Let the Learning Leagues commence! 💪🏼💚 Maiya Espinosa cagnie france Danielle Creamer

Super excited for this sequel! ❤️

Helping our big kids with executive functioning skills is so important. Showing real pictures of supplies and desk organization is vital because kids can't "picture it in their own mind." #CometCon23

Teacher-verse its been a hot minute. But excited for a lovely book tasting tomorrow. Previewing fantasy books clubs. Already have a five star review! 😍 #mglit

The library set up is always a top priority. 🖤 If we have books - we’re ready to learn! Can’t wait to meet new #InfinityMI students on August 12th!

Had a great first week of school 🖤 Now to recharge this weekend. First days are exhausting 😮‍💨🍏… #BackToSchool2024 #iteachfifth

The start to this school year has been such a blessing. 🖤 These kids have big hearts and big dreams! Can’t wait to see what the year brings! I’m also so ready to start book clubs later this month - a little sneak peek at our launch menu. 🔥📖 #MIStrong

Launching book clubs is always a favorite #masonmoment on #InfinityMI 🖤… But man are the book baristas tired after a long day working at Starbooks & filling student orders! 😮‍💨😉👌🏼

V is for … 🇺🇸🗳️ Gearing up for Election Day & Veterans Day on #InfinityMI 💙❤️ We can’t wait to honor our veteran family & friends at our school celebration! These #MIStrong students have been putting in the work! Can’t believe November is right around the corner.
