🎗️There should be no high-frequency word (aka "sight word," although that's a misnomer) instruction in preschool. Much better to spend that time on phonemic awareness & alphabet instruction.
🎗️When high-frequency word instruction does occur, it's imp. to engage children in . . .

Thrilled to see an article highlighting the increase in woman holding senior leadership roles in education and the importance of representation on the cover of @WinnipegNews . So very proud to work for @ldboles @PembinaTrails, and appreciate the insight of @CamHauseman very much.

I am so ❤️ broken! We lost one of my graduating students Logan, tragically to a senseless crime. This amazing and talented young man had become CWB certified in May and graduated in June. We had a very close relationship and I will miss him dearly!RIP my student my friend. 😢😢😢

“For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you.” ~@ANNELAMOTT

If every child matters, we must acknowledge & support the children that did make it home.

Today, those kids are seniors and adults who struggle w/homelessness, harmful substance use, suicide.

Amazing how homework defenders get away with saying “Maybe there's no achievement benefit, but HW teaches self-discipline, responsibility, time mgmt...” In 15+ yrs I've been unable to find a single study that supports this folk wisdom about HW's supposed nonacademic advantages
