@PrincipalRael I worked with Prinicipal Rael as a new teacher in the district at Mojave in 2016. He did amazing things for that school and was always a leader who had empathy, respect, and high expectations for all students. I became a better teacher because of his leadership.

@MaysieMedwid @KMarnati @ncte Me too?!

[Kayla Coleman @MrsKColemanELA]

@SherryWillifor2 @MrsBeguin Yes! That would be great. Thank you :)

[Kayla Coleman @MrsKColemanELA]

@ShereenCook @ProjectLITComm @WABassALC @TNAltEd Definitely not! I wish. I’m just adding to my class library. Those are the individual titles I’ve added for independent reading. I’m trying to add more now though because several kids are enjoying them.

@SherryWillifor2 @MrsBeguin Do you happen to have any materials/resources you’d like to share on this novel? I’m starting it for the first time next week with my 10 graders, so I’m starting from scratch and could use some suggestions.

[Kayla Coleman @MrsKColemanELA]

@mrsscottenglish @MrsBeguin @ncte Kite Runner by the same author is also great! My kids love it.

[Kayla Coleman @MrsKColemanELA]

@Lizgon230 @MrsBeguin @ncte This is the one I was going to suggest!! My reluctant readers has LOVED The Glass Castle. It’s great for discussing things like poverty, abuse, unconventional education, etc. Plus, there are still great literary elements in it such as symbolism.

[Kayla Coleman @MrsKColemanELA]

@mrshurt5 @ncte Thank you for sharing! And surprisingly, my high school kids love Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Hi @ncte village! This year a goal I set was fostering independent reading for my 10-11 students. I’m applying for a grant that offers $200-$500 and would like to add diverse YA books to my class library. (The majority of my students are Latinx). Throw all your favorites my way!

[Kayla Coleman @MrsKColemanELA]

@mrshurt5 @ncte This is awesome! Thank you!

[Kayla Coleman @MrsKColemanELA]

Hey @ncte village! I want to include book groups with my 10th grade students this year. Looking for two different categories to spend my grant $ on. 1st - Novels that focus on social justice issues. 2nd - Verse novels. Throw all your ideas my way please! :)

@PhonicsMom @llama_survivor @JoAnneGross1 @dyslexiasomd @dyslexiamnc @alcp @MrGmpls @ncte Thank you!!

[Kayla Coleman @MrsKColemanELA]

I'm trying to include more independent reading into my curriculum this year. Classes are 50 minutes in length. Is it worth it for kids to spend the first 10 minutes of each day reading? If so, how do you hold them accountable? Do you still include a class novel as well? @ncte

[Kayla Coleman @MrsKColemanELA]

@mrshurt5 @vmayclassroom @ncte This is great! Thank you!
