@tootgail Hard for a mama to watch, I’m sure!❤️

[NKC Schools @NKCSchools]

Staff at @MaplewoodElemen surprised principal @NickpettitNKC with exciting news – he is the Missouri Administrator of the Year, presented by @myMSCA! He was chosen for his amazing support of the school’s counseling program & focus on advocating for students. Congrats, Mr. Pettit!

[Beth McDaniel @beth102c]

Yes! This! 100% this. Check those book boxes for appropriate, independent level and decodable texts!

[Ms. Benison- @BenisonMrs]

Sometimes the part of problem is as simple as the fact we (the system, or the teachers or the programs) have not afforded the students the number of practices opportunities that they need.

[Beth McDaniel @beth102c]

All sports moms feel this, right?!

[Maverick Phillips @Brett_Phillips8]

Here’s the story behind the clip as well as the full six-minute video of Patrick Mahomes hugging each one of his teammates in the locker room after the Super Bowl. https://t.co/EwoxANlAjp

[Arash Markazi @ArashMarkazi]

Patrick Mahomes spent a good six minutes going around the Kansas City Chiefs locker room as soon as he walked in after the Super Bowl was over and congratulated every single one of his teammates and coaches before finally sitting down at his locker.

3rd graders and I were working on sounds to say for -ed. Trying it out on the word “turned”a kiddo said “turnt”. I said I wasn’t cool enough to use that word. Students didn’t know what I meant but @NickpettitNKC thought it was funny! #formalobservation 🤦🏻‍♀️ #guidedreadingisfun

[Beth McDaniel @beth102c]

@TeachMrsJudd I think our district does a great job with the “what”. Our curriculum is comprehensive, I believe. The “how” is the hard part. More teachers as interventionists? smaller classes? more small group instruction? Better, data-driven, outcomes-based interventions?

[Beth McDaniel @beth102c]

So much great info on how research supports the need for comprehensive literacy instruction in the early grades. Phonics first or phonics only? | Shanahan on Literacy ⁦@AndiEatinger⁩ ⁦@jkssutton_jks⁩ ⁦@NickpettitNKC⁩ ⁦@LongMkl8⁩ https://t.co/f0CD8Y6BLk

[Beth McDaniel @beth102c]

@Bowrena @AndiEatinger @jkssutton_jks @NickpettitNKC @LongMkl8 Dang. Now I wish I would have signed up for it!!

[Beth McDaniel @beth102c]

@Bowrena @AndiEatinger @jkssutton_jks @NickpettitNKC @LongMkl8 And most importantly, well- trained, knowledgeable teachers who are in tune with their readers’ strengths and weaknesses. Tough gig for clsrm teachers. That’s why I love colab’ing with them and intervening to support readers ❤️

[Beth McDaniel @beth102c]

@Bowrena @AndiEatinger @jkssutton_jks @NickpettitNKC @LongMkl8 The social media “reading wars” did a big disservice to reading ed. For most primary teachers, it’s not a binary choice, all or no phonics. That’s ridiculous. Strong curriculum with systematic phonics + all other important literacy components. Balance. 1/

[Beth McDaniel @beth102c]

@Bowrena @AndiEatinger @jkssutton_jks @NickpettitNKC @LongMkl8 I didn’t read about his thoughts on LETRS. I must have missed it. Systematic phonics is vitally important in primary grades. But teaching meaning-making along side phonics makes the most sense to me. Also, teach the reader, not reading. Miss you, friend!❤️

[Beth McDaniel @beth102c]

Deputy Iggy is an awesome addition to the @MaplewoodElemen Family. And we are all falling in love with Csibi (Chebee). Such a good boy!

[Clay County, Missouri Sheriff @SheriffClayCo]

Yes! That’s Deputy “Iggy” Ignatenko and his K9 Csibi.

[Beth McDaniel @beth102c]
