@claudiascotti10 @DrHydrogenHC @MsOcchiogrosso @HES_Principal @HopewellES All of your prep work was worth it! You students' creative juices were flowing! Well done!

[Dan Umstead @DanUmstead]

@KymHarjes An outstanding introduction to the genre... the creative juices were flowing as your young authors set to work! Can't wait to see the published pieces!

Ts utilize the power of authentic feedback in meaningful ways to support Ss’ leaning. But when it comes personalized for each of your Ss by an administrator - priceless! Thanks @DanUmstead for supporting our Ss and for being a part of their academic journey! #beartavernpride

@lizmachado68 ...and feel free to use my post-its as examples of improper letter formation in your next handwriting lesson.😁

@lizmachado68 FWIW...in context, "dolphinly" was the perfect way to describe movement. Reading the work was a highlight of my day! Well done Liz and Dolores!

@lizmachado68 @DoloresVanName @MayanAhmed6 Is it wrong to say that I enjoyed these fractures more than the originals? Superstar teachers and superstar kids!

[Liz Machado @lizmachado68]

Celebrating our hard work and growth as writers! Sharing our published Fractured Fairy Tales with our classroom family. @DanUmstead @DoloresVanName @MayanAhmed6 #beartavernpride

[Liz Machado @lizmachado68]

Thank you Mr Umstead for sharing your fractured fairy tale ‘Humpty’s Hide and Seek Adventure’, and for inspiring us as we launch our new writing unit of study ! #beartavernpride @DanUmstead @DoloresVanName @MayanAhmed6 🥚📚

[Dan Umstead @DanUmstead]

@lizmachado68 @DoloresVanName @MayanAhmed6 I'm sure mine will pale in comparison to the writing of your authors. It was a pleasure to spend time with such engaging 3rd graders and their amazing teachers!
