Part 3 - "Looking across the continuum, we can see patterns of progress over time. Learners progress in their individual ways, but they ultimately reach the same goal - a complex & flexible literacy processing system." -Irene C. Fountas & Gay Su Pinnell #WCUSD200

[Ryan Hart @RyanHart2013]

Part 2 - "A learner might make tremendous gains in one area while seeming to almost ‘stand still’ or ‘plateau’ in another. It’s our job to provide these learning opportunities & guide their attention so that learning in one area informs & supports learning in others." #WCUSD200

[Ryan Hart @RyanHart2013]

Part 1 - “The progress of learners across the continuum, or even within each of them, is not an even, step-by-step process. Students learn as they have opportunities & give their attention in different ways. #WCUSD200

The good ol "I.P.I.C.K." method & "5 Finger rule" for choosing "good fit" books. Some things never go out of style! Interest in the book or topic will determine how motivated they are to read it. Visit our great @wpl_library for help finding books together as a family! #wcusd200

Stop telling kids they are smart when they get something! What does that say if they don't get it? #growthmindset

Do you remember when your "Job" changed every week? Jobs like "Homework Checker", "Line Captain", "Table Monitor", & more! Taking your turn on school/classroom duties helps our students learn that communities are teams of people working together for the common good. #Responsible

I had my "Assistant Principal" reward this morning! 4 students saved up their "Cat Keys" to help me for awhile. They made decisions about school decor, planned assemblies, problem solved for other students, & even checked in with "Roar" our mascot in his secret office! #WCUSD200

Mrs. Barnhill & Mr. Hart attended the recording of Bears All Access radio show on 670 The Score last week at Halas Hall! We were invited thanks to Mrs. Barnhill's great @FUTP60 program! The show featured Adrian Amos, the Chicago Bears starting strong safety! #WCUSD200

It's that time of year for our Principal Fireside read aloud! We've been calling it "Hart by the Hearth" lately! We have a TV & real fire going for the kids to enjoy the real-life crackling, warmth, & smell of a wood-burning fire during their read aloud with Mr. Hart! #WCUSD200
