Start the school year with poetry! For the next month, I’m tweeting out poems to celebrate the beginning of school. Read poems to Ss from Day 1! Ss can keep poems they love in a poetry folder, and might be inspired to write their own. Here is a favorite #TCRWP#rebeccakai.

Use this (free!) tool to help you make connections between reading and writing goals, skills, and strategies. ✅ Clarity ✅ Efficiency ✅ Building on strengths. https://t.co/owRURB7ptF
