Picturing a possible “Godfather scenario”: Biden steps down as POTUS and becomes Harris’ VP/consigliere, instead (Michael Corleone: “Who better than my father…”).

@PeteButtigieg Pete -tonight, I wondered what that debate would have been like with your intellect and gift of clear, concise speech. Please stay in politics. You are important.

@cskubik I mean...I had heart palpitations. The.Whole.Time.

We are so excited to jump into our #informational writing unit! We are becoming weather forecasters and will publish a weather forecast. Today in #immersion we watched 2 weather forecasts and talked about what we #noticeandwonder

@mrskimbuck Brilliant!!! ❤️ the noticing of “dad jokes” 🤣🤣🤣

Returning to pockets of reading and writing instruction: launching units, conferring, and guided reading, helps us refine our work in ways that ignite an interest in and love of books and writing. Thanks to @donelson_erin for helping us grow.

@mrskimbuck Way to celebrate the process as you go through this unit! Your students are really understanding how writing is constructed! Keep rocking it!

[Erin Donelson @donelson_erin]

Yes! Way to show your writers how to study writing before they do it themselves. Incredibly supportive, insightful, and fun! I can’t wait to see what your writers try out in this unit @mrskimbuck #writingimmersion

@mrskimbuck I’m geeking out SO hard on your strong immersion work!!! Amazing!

[Erin Donelson @donelson_erin]

@mrskimbuck Kim! This is AMAZING!!!

[Erin Donelson @donelson_erin]

Thank you for creating a thoughtful and practical tool! Can’t wait for it to get here!

[Erin Donelson @donelson_erin]

Have you all preordered this yet? Teaching texts, reading notebook ideas AND having our independent reading questions answered? It’s ALL in one place! I can’t wait for this to be in my hands!

[Gravity Goldberg @drgravityg]

We’ve been developing our tools as reading teachers. We use them in classroom demonstrations & teachers respond by saying, “Where did you get those tools? I need them!”
We are thrilled to announce that we made you a set too.

When a school embraces research & makes bold moves in instruction, it has to provide support for its new teachers. Today Ms. Kells and Mr. Yin benefited from that mindset. Thanks @donelson_erin for providing all of us with a rich day of learning. We grow because of you.

@principalcda Strong leadership + collective efficacy + commitment to teacher study = doing what is right for children. CDA has an equation that works for student achievement. I am honored to be part of your study and equally honored to learn from your teachers too!
