3-5 @msdwt teachers and instructional assistants had the opportunity to learn more about the Science of Reading, decodable text routines, and UFLI. Staff experienced decoding, fluency & comprehension with Hawaiian Pidgin to empathize with students. #whyWT @msdwtTandL

Today provided @msdwt K-2 teachers and instructional assistants an opportunity to learn more about the Science of Reading, decodable text routines, and UFLI. Staff experienced decoding, fluency & comprehension with Hawaiian Pidgin to empathize with Ss. #whyWT @msdwtTandL

Kindergarten students engaged in reading small groups, writing stations, word work and dancing during a brain break. “Guess my vowel” to practice cvc words combined word work and a little bit of mystery. @AllisonvilleES @msdwtTandL #whyWT

Zoom fatigue is not burnout. It’s boreout.

New study: when meetings are virtual, we’re not overwhelmed—we’re understimulated. Cardiac measures show drowsiness, not stress.

The antidotes are common sense but not common practice: fewer, shorter, more interactive online meetings.

More letter parade pictures! Q & U together forever ❤️ @WillowLakeElem @msdwtTandL #whyWT

[Jennifer Atkinson @JenZ_Atkinson]

Then there was a letter parade around the halls of @WillowLakeElem and other students cheered on the Kindergarten students’ hard work! @msdwtTandL #whyWT

[Jennifer Atkinson @JenZ_Atkinson]

Kindergarten students at @WillowLakeElem celebrated learning all the letters over the last 12 weeks with a phonemic awareness wedding of the letters Q & U. Q will always need U in words, but U can be independent. ❤️@msdwtTandL #whyWT
