When your readaloud’s about wrestling, it’s not like you can wrestle wrestle. So kindergartners did the next best thing. #thumbwars@bookishfox@WashingtonSch63
@bluestemaward@SaadiaFaruqi@AISLEd_org Super excited. I just finished A Thousand Questions and can’t wait to booktalk it with my students. We’ll be trying to get a spot on the author visit for sure!!
A favorite fifth grader didn’t realize we’re twinning for “T for Twin Day.” But I did and he happily agreed. We’re the Promoting Reading Twins!! @WashingtonD63#63forward
Last week I read Under My Hijab to kindergarten. @henakhanbooks A student offered her expertise on when, where, and why women wear hijab. This week she gave a demonstration. She had a rapt audience. #AAPIHeritageMonth@WashingtonD63#63forward
Oh my, the cheering that erupted when the final sticker was placed. Students earned a sticker each time their books were returned. Today we placed the 3,996th, final, sticker. @byStickTogether
Note: Wildcats borrowed over 17,000 library books this year. #63forward@WashingtonD63
@sljournal Hadn't read it, but booktalked @rosenafung's Living With Viola today. Students were competing to see who'd get it first. Guess it'll be a while before I get to read it.
First Gabby’s words took us to the places her daydreams took her. Then we traveled virtually to those same places for inspiration to next write about our own “Words With Wings.”Combining great literature with incredible technology. @nikkigrimes9 @ClassVR@WashingtonD63#63success
@storiestolife I just listened to the audiobook. Loved hearing YOUR voice reading YOUR words. Books should be mirrors. Students should see themselves AND hear themselves.
3rd-5th students had so so many questions for @Zendibble about her Planet Omar books and her career as a writer. Books that are mirrors (and windows) are so important - and popular with @WashingtonD63 students. Thanks @bluestemaward for this opportunity.
The books are ready! The books are ready! During their library google meeting, students in grades 3-5 learned how to get hold-em-in-your-hands books. Skipped library class? Watch for detailed instructions via email soon. #63success@WashingtonD63@brenglenn
