@OssiningPDChief @OssiningSchools @AMD_ROCKS This was planned after the share out. Thank you to @elysej4rj for letting me borrow Helen!

Would you rather kiss a snake or eat a chili pepper? I said I would rather kiss a snake and my students dared me to do it. Challenge accepted 😘🐍 ⁦@OssiningSchools⁩ ⁦@AMD_ROCKS⁩

This week we are waking up our brain by asking questions! It’s important to approach a text with curiosity to help you stay focused and engaged while reading. 🙇‍♀️📖🙇 @MrsClarkReads @AMD_ROCKS @OssiningSup #opride

Merregan did a super job reading and visualizing in class today. She stops and jots to make sure she understands what she is reading. Way to go!! 👏🏻 #opride @AMD_ROCKS @OssiningSchools

[Lesley Pimentel @MrsPimentelAMD]

Our readers practiced visualizing, or making a movie in their mind, to stay focused. They shared what they imagined using a mode that worked for them- drawings, words, or Google images. Check out some of their awesome work below 👏🏻 @MrsClarkReads @AMD_ROCKS @OssiningSchools

[Lesley Pimentel @MrsPimentelAMD]

We had students in the building today 🙌🏻 Our readers listened to “I Promise,” written by LeBron Names and created their own list of promises. Check out some of the amazing promises our students made! #AMDRocks @MrsClarkReads @AMD_ROCKS @OssiningSup

[Lesley Pimentel @MrsPimentelAMD]

Reading students had the opportunity to listen to Jacqueline Woodson read aloud her book, “The Day You Begin.” Then, they reflected on what makes them unique. We love learning more about our special students! @MrsClarkReads @OssiningSup #AMDRocks

[Lesley Pimentel @MrsPimentelAMD]

Today’s lesson is all about challenges and what we do to overcome them! “A Chair For My Mother” is the perfect read aloud for modeling this important life skill. We are finding our students to be resilient! #AMDRocks @MrsClarkReads @OssiningSchools

[Lesley Pimentel @MrsPimentelAMD]

Very excited to plan lessons with these new read alouds with @MrsClarkReads! #AMDRocks

It’s Friday and I’m feeling like a 5! It has been so wonderful to meet my students this week. 🤗 #AMDRocks

[Lesley Pimentel @MrsPimentelAMD]

My first day of virtual learning was a success! It was so nice to see the smiling faces of my readers. I can’t wait to meet the rest! #AMDRocks

[Kate Mathews @OUFSD_Arts]

After moving from Hondoras just 3 years ago, Caterine’s English is strong! She’s working on building her reading skills by looking closely at words and sorting them by long or short vowel sounds. I can’t wait to see the progress she will make this year! 📚📝 @OssiningSchools

[Lesley Pimentel @MrsPimentelAMD]

@MsMoran_AMD @OssiningSchools @AMD_ROCKS It was @MrsClarkReads idea!

[Lesley Pimentel @MrsPimentelAMD]

Students are already finishing their first independent reading books for the year! By creating mini books for their “Ideal Bookshelf” they are inspiring other students to read what they have loved! @OssiningSchools @AMD_ROCKS

[Lesley Pimentel @MrsPimentelAMD]

@OssiningPDChief Great minds think alike- I also got donuts from best spot in town today for meeting 🍩🍩

[Lesley Pimentel @MrsPimentelAMD]

Beautiful tapestry (with an even more beautiful message) straight from Guatemala! Thanks @MsAndersonAMD for the wonderful addition to our classroom!! 🦋
