I had a great time sharing a story with third graders at Magruder this morning. If you haven’t read Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut, check it out and I know you’ll love it! #engageycsd #readaloud #readersareleaders

Ok, reading friends, I finished my first book for our #ycsdbookbingo 📖 Other Words for Home is written in verse and I could not get enough! Thanks @MamaGilbsLib for the recommendation! Reading team, be sure to tag me as you finish your books!!! #ycsd #leadycsd

Mike Schmoker: "Students should read and/or be read to for a minimum of 60 minutes daily, across the curriculum, at every grade level. And they should write for at least 40 minutes every day. In such amounts, reading and writing would have a game-changing impact on all learning."

Had the best time meeting teachers and students at Magruder this morning. Can you believe grades K and 1 were getting into literacy stations on day 5?! Amazing! #mescubs #ycsd #engageycsd

Spending the morning at DES working with these awesome first grade teachers! “Piecing together” the characteristics of our different learners. #ycsd #ycsdlead

@Mrs_Stritt What a great idea! Tell Blair I said hi- you will have the best year with her, she’s phenomenal!

@KarenEllard @DanGemeinhart I was checking out your summer reading, I LOVE The Wild Robot. One of my all-time favorites!!💙

[Bethany Friedman @beth_turo]

Update: I’m halfway through The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise & it was one of the most beautifully written books I’ve ever read. This book has more descriptive language than most books for adults. Another reason why #kidlit is the best. #readersreading #mgbooktalk

[Bethany Friedman @beth_turo]

@MamaGilbsLib @DanGemeinhart No but I just added it to my list! With an endorsement by @JasonReynolds83 on the front, it has to be great!

[Bethany Friedman @beth_turo]

@MamaGilbsLib @DanGemeinhart I can always count on you! Any good recommendations?

[Bethany Friedman @beth_turo]

@Mrs_Stritt I hope a brand new group continues the FLMS obsession with The Selection💙 Happy reading!
