‘If “more phonics” is school districts’ only takeaway, they’ll be ignoring the need for research-based approaches to building students’ knowledge, comprehension skills, and language abilities…’

I’ll just keep saying it: Social studies is literacy.

@emilykwaldrop @libertylearning @JCBOEal @KDukes1 @ashleylee531 @harding_10 @StvnsonElemPrin This program has been one of my favorite things about teaching 2nd grade! My students enjoyed the lessons and the learning.

Happy 13th Bday to my girl! You can normally find her in a softball, volleyball or basketball jersey but I pulled the mom card and FORCED her to dress up to have pictures made for her 13th birthday. These pics have not been edited yet but I am sharing anyways since it is her day!

Treat people right. Appreciate them, encourage them, support them and make them feel like they matter (because they do). Do this at home, at work, at school, at the store, etc. Do this with people you know and people you don't. Try your best every day to make someone else's day.

I am moving on up! It was a wonderful 2 days of training with @ShundraMorris. I am convinced all of our @AmstiUAH specialist are the best in the state! @AMSTI4all @anniott

Make it a habit to notice what others are doing right.

Show your appreciation.

I read somewhere that appreciation is more valuable and motivating than tangible rewards.

Everyone needs to know they’re making a difference. What you do matters!

Today at our K graduation program we were able to provide parents a glimpse into the knowledge these kids have obtained this year. Our program was based off the 12 domains in kinder CKLA. They recited poems, sang songs and acted out 1 of the stories. They did amazing!

MaKe sure every student shines at something in your class. Even if you have to think outside the box to showcase their talents. Bringing out their talents IS the actual definition of education.

“Being able to decode printed text and recognize words quickly and fluently are building block skills in early reading instruction.”

Amen!

Restaurants that have clean floors and bathrooms usually have good food and great service. Why? Because those who care more about the little things care more about everything.

The math teacher in me wants to hang this on every wall @BportMiddle! Great stuff!!!

Life is Fragile. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Make the most of today. Love life. Love people. Serve others. Care more.

What would happen if every K-3 teacher in AL were trained in SoR? Check out our latest podcast w Dr. Joseph Roy @BASDSUPT from Bethlehem, PA to hear how it works. https://t.co/gM7Dw04h7X https://t.co/PQRwbVF2hw on #Podbean
