Merry belated Christmas to us! ⭐️New Reading Strategies Book 2.0 AND ⭐️New K-2 Reading Units of Study!!! 🤩 Can’t wait to dig into these with our teachers! 💛

[Amina Bradford @abradfordrunyan]

Students chose their HF book club book, then researched their era to grow background knowledge and take notes about the setting! Engagement off the charts! ♥️

4th grade @TCRWP Historical Fiction Unit! Setting up for success by deciding their club name & creating norms! Tomorrow choosing books, then building background knowledge for their era before the unit begins!

Great read! Big misconception! “PLC” is the way we function, not a meeting!
I hear the term ”PLC” being used to refer to a meeting from people in education all. the. time. https://t.co/GYAHAIzbXj

@GinnyBowles We were just talking about this last week while the planning read aloud! 😂

[Amina Bradford @abradfordrunyan]

4th grade writing collections and 2nd grade nonfiction reading kickoff! One of my favorite things about @TCRWP units of study is how engaging they are! 💚

Part 1 of Using Literacy Data to Inform Instruction- Teachers worked collaboratively to identify student *strengths* and needs from their literacy data! @JSerravallo @FountasPinnell @SolutionTree

Great post on letting go of graphic organizers because…well, writers aren’t all the same! TY @LeahKoch_ for writing about this important topic

[Amina Bradford @abradfordrunyan]

💯 I say this all the time!!! Kids need to view their digital reading as an extension of their book box/stack. Not something that’s “more fun” on specified day of the week!!#nomorefunfriday

[Ginny Bowles @GinnyBowles]

Love how @classroomchat emphasizes that technology is not a reward to only be allowed on certain days (i.e. Fun Fridays 🙄) but rather a digital tool vital to student learning. If Ss are rdg a digital book, they need to be allowed to finish!! @CISD_Connects

[Amina Bradford @abradfordrunyan]

@classroomchat @CISD_Connects @WilkersonCISD @ConroeISD Amazing session!!! ♥️

Instead of a Behavior Management Plan, let's begin next school year by asking every teacher to create a Relationship Building Plan.

If you’re looking for a good read definitely recommend this! Found it in an @newsela article that came out about 90+ yr old Lily and her TikTok account yes, TikTok! Never have I read an account of the Holocaust as eye-opening as this. Must read!! 🥹#lilyspromise

Read a new poem from @TheAmandaGorman, “Hymn for the Hurting” — written after the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, this week. https://t.co/wsWD17of9r

We can’t look at these faces and do nothing. #PrayersForUvalde #PrayersForRobbElementary #EndGunViolence @tedcruz @JohnCornyn

One-sided journalism at its best. A K-2 program that doesn’t include phonics instruction is a ridiculous concept, laughable to expect that it would have sustained school districts for decades and this article somehow unearthed some glaring ‘truth.’ https://t.co/haw49yFeRl

2nd grade students had fun while learning about financial literacy! They made and sold class products with bucks they earned from the past few weeks!
