2nd graders came to perform their readers theater for us, their fluency was ah-mazing!! I can’t wait to see their next one! @D59JulietteLow @CCSD59 #d59learns

Free time after testing and what are they doing? Writing kind things about one another on the whiteboard. Our students have the best hearts. ❤️🥰 #d59learns

@mikesafina did a great job planning Readapalooza! I love our staff and students so much, especially my principal who blew us away with her rapping skills! #d59learns @D59JulietteLow #readerstheater #littlespotofemotion

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

7 years ago @ahager22 comes up to me and is like "I want to get you on Twitter! You'll be the first custodian from D59 on there!"

And the rest is history...

After about 300 hours of coursework, reading, and studying, I have finally finished my Orton Gillingham program to be a certified dyslexia practitioner. Couldn’t have done it without these ladies and amazing students! Literacy is a social justice issue!
