What’s in a compliment? SO much! Whether you’re rapidly engaging Ss in compliment conferences or another conferring structure, being mindful of how a compliment is worded is key #LiteracyTipTuesday #RSDreading #RSDwriting #RSDLearns

Mystery Tip #9: Barney Gibble jot from S3 is still our favorite! @missalissanyc & I talk about it & laugh! Concerned about jots this year? Put some on a jamboard, kids can post what they notice & use the jots as mentors. Don’t stop there! Get kids talking off the notes. #tcrwp

There comes a time when we need to stop planning to do something and actually do it. Whether that’s something as simple as read a book instead of watching TV or a bigger goal like growing professionally, eventually, it’s time to take action. #edchat

Here’s what teachers not only to need to hear right now, but also need to KNOW in their hearts:
-Good Enough
-I am Competent
-I don’t need to do everything.
-Keep moving FORWARD...

Thank you @brooke_geller

What is the #1 way research has shown to develop phonemic awareness?

Inventive spelling!

@amandalah my mind is blown.

"Hopefully, Ss are spending a lot of time in writers workshop stretching out sounds and trying to record them."

Jesus never promised to eliminate all of the chaos from our lives; He said He'd bring meaning to it.

@tenilleshade @TiffanyNeal81 @LoriStrom17 @dmaki15 @LiteracyCoachKS @MissAlexBlythe Congrats! So happy for you!

Now, more than ever, it is important to actually TEACH, not just ASSIGN. Kids write better when they are surrounded by other writers, EVEN VIRTUALLY! Demonstrate your own writing AND let them see each other writing silently—online. You CAN replicate workshop magic online. #tcrwp

@srgarrison01 @CLESLilTexans @ClaraShoutouts @lisarcrosslin Still one of my favorite books, friend...❤️

It's easy to trust God when He does what we want; it's the other times when we grow.
