It was so nice to see so many smiling faces this morning at Union School! We miss you and can’t wait to be back together again. ❤️

@FarmingtonUns @1FarmingtonHS Union is a model for putting the "connection" in learning. The regular live meet ups are so, so valuable. Thank you UN teachers for showing up from Day 1 to love our students and be there for them. You're proving we can be flexible and do hard things.

We began assisting UCHC by printing mask frames using 3D printers in our IAR lab. We generated 43 in about 3 hours. Glad to help our medical community. #OneSchoolOneCommunityOneUs #WeGotThis

Happy St. Patrick's Day Union School Family! I hope everyone is doing well & staying healthy. Today I'm going to start reading aloud each day to share with our Union School community & anyone else who would like to join us! Today I'll share a book at 2pm. Hope to see you then!

This is a great article for any families taking a road trip this holiday season. Listening to audiobooks in the car is a great way to pass the time!

This week our first graders all became Word Detectives in the Super Secret Detective Agency to celebrate their latest reading unit.

[Meghan LaMarre @EFLitTeacher]

Assessments and levels provide us with important information about how to best instruct students, and where the optimal zone is for students. HOWEVER, it is critical to provide choice and encourage students to follow their interests. Foster a LOVE of reading! #literacydoorquotes

Teachers, here's a nifty poster that shows my series in chronological order. Would love to give 5 of these away. RT to enter. I'll notify winners by DM.

What a great evening at the Union School Clue Night! We unlocked the box to find the moon from Many Moons by James Thurber. Great Job Second & Third Grade Reading Detectives! #FPSleadingtheway

@CoreyPBNinja Our third graders would love these as mentor texts as they write their own fractured fairy tales!

The Grade 4 Super Secret Writing Club shared their opinion writing with an authentic audience today...The Math Specialist Team! They worked to share why they think Mr. B is the best math teacher ever!
