It’s NEVER too soon to begin reading to your baby. ⏰
In fact, doing so while your little one is still in utero will begin familiarizing your soon-to-be newborn with the voices of the adults who will comprise their “circle of trust” after birth.
Once your baby is born, reading together daily will expose them to rich vocabulary, concepts of print, and to establish reading as both important and pleasurable… all key to their early academic success.
I got such a kick out of this little one.
It’s clear not only that her parents read to her regularly, but do so with real enthusiasm and expression.
What a great feeling it must be for them to watch her mimic their tender moments together.

@wmata The driver of 3273 decided it was more important to get in the left lane and wait at a red light than pick up a mother and daughter, myself, and another passenger this morning. Disappointed with the lack of care and professionalism shown to customers.
And the youth shall lead us.
All children have the right to learn accurate history and have access to diverse literature that allows them to see themselves, learn from and understand others’ perspectives.

The @DCSBOE called for revised SS standards that were, “culturally inclusive and anti-racist, impart important social studies content in the early grades, strengthen student knowledge of democratic principles and values, and promote civic engagement.” @OSSEDC is delivering.
On March 29, OSSE released the revised social studies standards. Some highlights include updated World History II standards and greater coverage of immigration history. Read the revised draft here ➡️ https://t.co/z4vPmzTwHm
Civic action is missing from television.

The latest early literacy data in D.C. shows that White students started the academic year about where they were pre-pandemic. But Black and Hispanic students, however, were still far behind

I was thrilled to take a sneak peak at our 4th graders published creative writing. All of the 4th grade @LBECDC Leopards wrote and published a piece. I am so proud of our Leopards and teachers. @dcpublicschools#WeAreLaSalle@DCElementaryELA 💙💙💙
