Coweta County Reads!

A Literacy Café is where we read, share, and become literate!

@susangbarber Good teachers stay late and get there early.

@susangbarber Have you watched him skipping number 5 because it is too hard? I LOVE this man.

@susangbarber I’m starting with community. We set up a GroupMe to just chat and be community. In a few days we will do learning. Keep@is posted on what you figure out.

@TalksWTeachers Kelli from GA here. I love @sbickmore55’s YA Wednesday’s.

So surreal.

[Sarah Soper @Soperclassroom]

They could not have chosen a more perfect person! @JasonReynolds83 has changed the face of young adult literature and I am so grateful to him! 💗

[Susan Barber @susangbarber]

Practice gratitude in your school this week, and while your circumstances may not change, your outlook will, and I image school culture will also if enough of us do this. Have a great week influencing the next generation! #MondayMotivation

@Soperclassroom @susangbarber I remind my kids that they have been writing since Kindergarten and have been learning Calculus for ten minutes. My class is about refining skills they already have. 😍

A writer is always writing - even when staring into space.

A teacher is always teaching - even when sipping coffee.

[Susan Barber @susangbarber]

THIS!!!!! And I'll tweak it to say "If we view our students as people." It's about them as individual persons- not test scores, what we want to teach, or school reputation. They are not a means to our ends - they are the end.

[Kelli Sowerbrower @PKBrow]

Wow! I am totally in love with this class! Thanks for the awesome year!

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

Shout out to all of the teachers knee-deep in end of semester grading who are one more glass of wine away from speeding through the rest of the stack and just giving everyone an A- and a smiley face.

[Jason Reynolds News @JasonReynolds83]

Finally.

[Jason Reynolds News @JasonReynolds83]

LONG WAY DOWN and FOR EVERYONE out today, in paperback.

@misallaneous1, just-thank you for this book. This young lady who reads voraciously and appreciates your characters so much.

[Carol Jago @CarolJago]

Reading excerpts may prep students for tests, but such practice won't make them readers.

Students deserve whole works, real books.

[Coweta County Reads! @LiteracyCafe]

Only yes if it looks and sounds too formulaic. I just need ss to realize that the formula is boring. Some of them can’t let go of it. #aplitchat

[Brian Sztabnik @TalksWTeachers]

Q6. Is the five-paragraph essay a bad thing?
#aplitchat

[Nikki Lehman @CHS_writer]

A4: More sophistication & original insight, less summary & diction issues - you know, the ones where as we read, we begin by nodding, but by the end we're practically fist pumping- so excited to see how they've grown/are growing! #aplitchat
