I love this, keeping the parents in the teacher loop is so important right now since they are doing their best to teach from home. #READ3400 #GGCSOE

[Jerry Blumengarten @cybraryman1]

Good morning. Please make sure to have class video and individual student meetings regularly as well as reaching out to parents. Keep doing the best you can. Our Video Conferencing page https://t.co/y07prrRtP6 Have a nice day. #edchat #edtechchat

I love children's perspectives. They can teach us so much about how we look at the world. #READ3400 #GGCSOE

[Alamanda Mooney @AlamandaMooney]

We need to step away from this with more compassion than we walked into it with, we all need to learn to be kinder to other people #READ3400 #GGCSOE

I love this quote #READ3400 #GGCSOE

[Anne Atwell Merkel @AnneAtwellM]

"Curiosity, compassion, and pleasure need to be at the center of school again...interest and engagement drive achievement" @NancieAtwell

We want kids to read, but we also want them to pay attention and learn from what they are reading #READ3400 #GGCSOE

[Alamanda Mooney @AlamandaMooney]

I love this and everything is represents #READ3400 #GGCSOE

[Alamanda Mooney @AlamandaMooney]

We really should be doing this #GGCSOE #READ3400

Something that I'm having to keep in mind as an education student, it's been real eye opening during this pandemic where everything is online. #READ3400 #GGCSOE

[Alamanda Mooney @AlamandaMooney]

This is something I've also seen after visiting both a Title 1 and a non Title 1 school, absolutely ridiculous. #EDUC3400

[Alamanda Mooney @AlamandaMooney]

I love this, we can learn just as much from our students as they can learn from us #READ3400 #GGCSOE

In AWAKENING THE HEART, @GeorgiaHeard1 writes, “Children [do this] for adults all the time; they help us to see the beauty in things we no longer see, that have been obscured by a film of familiarity” (92). I’m going to start looking up a little more. And looking in. For beauty.

My favorite thing as a child was being read to, and I think that it's important as a teacher to try and do read-alouds in my own classroom #EDUC3400 #GGCSOE

[Colby Sharp @colbysharp]

Reading aloud to kids never gets old. I wonder how many millions of people fell in love with reading listening to their teacher/parent/grandparent/librarian/friend/sibling/guardian read to them.

[Alamanda Mooney @AlamandaMooney]

I think that it should be used to mean that not everyone is going to do something perfectly, but that's not how it works out #READ3400 #GGCSOE

[Alamanda Mooney @AlamandaMooney]

You have to make sure that students are getting enough reading time, it helps to make sure that you are showing and not just telling them that reading is an important part of their education and to help them practice as much as possible. #READ3400 #GGCSOE

This really resonates with me and what I saw last semester in the middle school, if you don't listen to your students then you'll miss out on all the things that you could learn from them #READ3400 #GGCSOE

[Mrs. Parker @ChalkerMeghan]

Such a great read from @regieroutman ‘s Literacy Essentials: Engagement, Excellence and Equity for All Learners - “listening fully is an act of respect, admiration, and even love” 👏🏻

[Alamanda Mooney @AlamandaMooney]

Sometimes you have to put yourself in others shoes, not everyone thinks what they did is any good #READ3400

[Alamanda Mooney @AlamandaMooney]

Any improvement is good improvement, whether the child is "under" or "over" where they should be #READ3400 #GGCSOE

[Fountas & Pinnell @FountasPinnell]

When communicating progress with parents/caregivers, show (without emphasizing levels) the books the child started with, what they are reading now, and what you hope for them to be reading in the future. Then you can work together to make sure the child can move forward.
