How many books are too many to read at the same time? Asking for a friend. #readerproblems😬

Abydos trainee and masterful teacher, Rae Costanzo, implementing self-selected reading early in the year! #fortunatestudents #hsliteracy #classroomlibraries Spring Branch ISD Abydos Learning Int. Northbrook High School Joyce Evans Shari Jones

The house of literacy has a thousand doors. Our job is to help students find one that will let them in.

The worst temperature has to be 55 degrees because 55 and sunny feels like 70, but 55 and cloudy feels like 30.

YALL, FREE BOOKS!

Cannot speak highly enough of Ms. Yolanda. So kind, hardworking, and thorough. Well deserved recognition.

A thread: In Christopher Emdin's book *Ratchetdemic,* he talks about the contrast between institutional knowledge and intuition. As I was reading, I kept wondering what that looked like in my day to day work with students.

IT'S GAME DAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!! 😎⚾ Northbrook Baseball plays Spring Woods at 7PM Northbrook High School. Senior night ceremony will start at 6:30PM. Come out and show some love to our varsity baseball team! #RivalWeek #SeniorNight #LetsGoRaiders

A3. Teri & I learned that many schools host some sort of reading competition between kids or grade levels as the only "community" reading activity. This creates a culture of reading "winners" and "losers" and advantages kids with more resources. Not a community-builder. #G2Great

A5. How do readers really respond to what we read? Most don't spontaneously make a diorama or powerpoint preso. Offer lots of opportunities to talk and write about books without assignments. #g2great

Y’all, when I tell you the Mayde Creek High School Class of 2022 has my heart, THEY HAVE MY HEART!! 🖤🖤 I regret not making these for ALL my graduating seniors the last 19 years, but better late than never, right?! 1/4

Thanks to the idea I pulled from my AP Literature Facebook group (idea came from Sarah B Wessling and again with Susan G Barber), I made each student a bookmark from a dictionary page with a personalized note and an individualized word to describe them (94 DIFFERENT words!). 😭😭

Congratulations Northbrook High School Class of 2022!!!! You did it!!!! #sbisdproud Spring Branch ISD

My thoughts on "laying down the rules" for students. (I teach all seniors for context). On day one jump straight in the work. Deal with procedures as they naturally come up. Thanks for attending my TED Talk.

So much fun! Go Raiders.

So proud of my amiga and colleague Rae Costanzo. She was recognized last night at Northbrook High School homecoming game for the impact she makes on students. Thank you for everything you do. #defyingtheodds Spring Branch ISD
