Today my 1st period students who use to moan and groan about reading for 15 min. in class informed me that 20 min. was no longer enough time, and petitioned me for 30 min. of reading tomorrow. My work here is done.
@melissively @getnicced Concrete Rose is actually written by the amazing @angiecthomas and my classroom copy of it has not seen the shelf yet this year!
This semester year in G208, we read 375 books! Lots of graphic novels? Definitely! Do they count? 100%! So proud of these kids! #RISDgreatness @RLAinRISD
Parents absolutely get to decide what books their kids read or don’t, but their jurisdiction doesn’t extend to other people’s children. Our family (and many others) wants our kids/grandkids to read accurate history and the rich stories of ALL of humanity. Leave our kids alone.
Such a great way to kick off break!! The Staff vs Students Volleyball game was so much fun!! Shoutout to @ababpete and @ACongdonedu for helping me plan it! 💙🏐@WestwoodJH_RISD
Teachers have spent the last 15 months innovating in ways we’d never imagined we could, yet today I had to watch an instructional video from 2008 for “professional development”. #DWD left me feeling undervalued and unheard. #RLAinRISD
