We are proud to have 10 students participating in the Roane Choral Society children’s choir concert today. Thank you Mrs. Land for sharing this opportunity and sparking a love for music with our students everyday.

“I spent a long time just teaching kids to sit still on the carpet for one book. That’s something I didn’t need to do before.” https://t.co/XhnfUs1DaD

@markseidenberg I would also be interested in voiceover as well as well as how these ideas should translate into practice- particularly for English Language Learners.

@kjchambers This test is nothing like the real TCAP. The pdf with passages and writing prompts on that site is closer- but still not the same.

[Dr. Amanda Tinker @artinker]

@VoteGloriaJ If you are interested, make sure you download the PDF that has the passages/writing prompts. It is more similar. Only it’s about 4 times as long. The grammar quiz is nothing like TCAP- besides some of the questions not having correct answer choices to choose.

@javroar Looks like the older one on the other side actually blows them out- 🤷‍♀️

@AbbyTeachesDSM @ELeducation My little one’s teacher gave her a bird “workbook” and several bird books as her summer gift. She is obsessed- even after Modules 3 and 4- loves to “study” birds!

Our goal is to provide a space that takes learning outside and becomes a gathering place for teachers, students, and the Lenoir City community. Today our 2nd graders worked ALL day building pollinator gardens and @TheMuse came to teach our students about bats. It was a great DAY!

@kate_g_m I enjoyed working with you in our ELPA cohort and thank you for all you did at TDOE. Best wishes in your next steps!

Congratulations ladies!! 🧡🖤

Teaching foundational skills requires teacher modeling. How do we help our teachers find the “sweet spot of modeling?” See the @ReadingShanahan quote below 👇🏽.

@pernilleripp When I taught 6th Grade my favorite poem to teach was The Road Not Taken- we read it during our novel study of Tuck Everlasting- also my favorite novel to teach. Figurative language, imagery, metaphor- It was such a wonderful pairing in many ways! Miss it sometimes!
