Just finished labeling and organizing my 2nd grade classroom library today 😍 It is so amazing to think of kids getting to hold physical books after a year of online reading. Feeling blessed! #LitBankStreet

@GabrielleHaeri1 Also teaching 2nd grade 🙂 You could try doing a read-aloud during transition periods where time is typically allotted for kids to get back in their seats and focus before the next subject!

Any recommendations for people to follow on Twitter?! Any amazing authors or activists? Looking to expand my newsfeed 🙌 #LitBankStreet

It has been great working on the Classroom Instructional Plan for our final project and tying together everything we've done this semester 📚 #balancedliteracy #LitBankStreet

[Clare Geithner @ClareG0124]

The complicated psyches and relationships in #AnxiousPeople are so gripping to read... highly recommend this novel by #FredrikBackman #LitBankStreet

[Clare Geithner @ClareG0124]

Chapter 2: Teach Without Fear of Christopher Emdin's "For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood" was such a poignant and inspiring read. It's always so important to know our students as individual people with different backgrounds, passions, hopes and dreams 🌟 #LitBankStreet

Mmm have you ever read a book and thought to yourself “I need 300 pages of my life back!” 🙃 #thesocialgraces

Can't believe training for the school starts this coming Monday! After a remote first year of teaching, I cannot wait to actually get into a classroom 👩‍🏫📚 #LitBankStreet

[Clare Geithner @ClareG0124]

Anyone have any writing exercises they do with their students that they can share? Looking for creative ideas 🤔

[Clare Geithner @ClareG0124]

Just read Chapter 4 of Sara Ahmed's #BeingtheChange and totally agree with the importance of listening to kids' "news" - engaging them in conversations about their wonderings of the world even if they stray from our original plan for the day #LitBankStreet 👍👩‍🏫

Feeling grateful that @suzrolander took the time to curate reading lists for each of her students! Deciding whether to start with #AGoodMan by Ani Katz or #Caste by Isabel Wilkerson 🤔 #LitBankStreet

[Clare Geithner @ClareG0124]

So interesting to see different learning patterns emerge from my sessions with my student for #EDUC563 📚✍️ #LitBankStreet

[Clare Geithner @ClareG0124]

@GabrielleHaeri1 Yes! Add it to your list next 😊

[Clare Geithner @ClareG0124]

@GabrielleHaeri1 Yes! Also wanting to try orthographic mapping. I usually stick to taking apart by spelling, so I'm excited to try something new.

[Clare Geithner @ClareG0124]

After teaching Kindergarten (remotely!) for my first year in the classroom, I'll be teaching 2nd grade this upcoming school year! Any tips welcome 😃

[Clare Geithner @ClareG0124]

#TheVanishingHalf in a word: un-put-down-able. Thank you @britrbennett for giving me a reason to avoid all other responsibilities for 48 hours 😊 #LitBankStreet

[Clare Geithner @ClareG0124]

Just read an interesting article from the Council for Exceptional Children on #ReadAlouds and how they can be used as a tool to help struggling readers understand complex, informational texts... looking forward to implementing some of these ideas in my classroom! #LitBankStreet

Thinking back on one of my favorite books, #Americanah by @ChimamandaReal, and wondering how I have yet to read any of her other masterpieces. I know what I'll be doing now that summer break has started...

[Clare Geithner @ClareG0124]

@GabrielleHaeri1 @Jess_Keating This book looks fantastic! So important to show kids examples of strong, fearless ladies. Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
