Thankful for teachers like @MsWilsonGrade3 for going above and beyond to make literacy come alive! @GroveElementary

[Katherine Wilson @MsWilsonGrade3]

Thank you so much to @nchurnin and @womenshistory for reading Dear Mr. Dickens to us and answering all of our questions! I have a class full of book lovers and writers that were so engaged and learned a lot! What a great day @GroveElementary #engagedeagles

Reminder: RTI is not a service. Kids don’t “test into RTI” & then “get RTI” from an “RTI teacher.” If we are using the term this way, we missed the boat. RTI is an overarching approach to instruction & the most important “RTI tchr” is the gen ed tchr delivering core instruction.

Being the Techy witch today @GroveElementary. We read The Scarecrow and then made our own scarecrows on @KamiApp!

When teachers take curriculum to new levels, students learn to LOVE reading and writing! So proud of how our teachers are tackling a new curriculum with @SavvasLearning #readingtakesusplaces @GroveElementary

[Katherine Wilson @MsWilsonGrade3]

Today my Ss went outside taking notes on areas of the playground they would like to update. Later they will be writing letters to our principal persuading him to make some changes! We are LOVING this @SavvasLearning PBL unit @GroveElementary #3rdistheword #makelearningmeaningful
