@MrsErikaKirk I am thinking and praying for you and your beautiful children this month. Charlie was such an amazing human being. I miss his public presence, his voice that reminded Americans how good and precious our country is. I hope you feel his arms around you in these September days.

@TONYxTWO I agree, it hurts

Get over it already. If you want freedom of speech, then get skin in the game. Otherwise, get your news from mainstream media. If you want something worthwhile, it costs something. That is the "privilege" of living in a free speech country. We are not supporting communism nor socialism.

@AnnieIFA1776 @TheFP Annie, paying a meager amount protects our freedom. We are a free country and need to support free speech. Otherwise, be content with modern mainstream media. Get skin in the game.

@FriedScones @TheFP We do not aspire to a socialist or communist state. It takes skin in the game to participate

@MalCan4401 @TheFP You have no idea.

[Katherine Smith @dunkd3_]

@ELonMuskNewssX Yes!

How many holes? How did you count?

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

Have a student you're struggling with & you're out of ideas?

Try the 'two-by-ten' strategy:

For two minutes each day, 10 days in a row, have a personal conversation with the #student about anything the student is interested in, but NO school or behavior.

A4. Working memory is important for reading comprehension because a reader needs to be able to recall the sequence of events, key details, main idea, and character traits, and setting to really be able to understand the story/article/etc. #ComprehendThis

A5. I think it depends on whether the assessment is formative or summative#Comprehendthis

[Katherine Smith @dunkd3_]

I agree Betsy! Helping kids with graphic organizers is a great way to support working memory!

@StevieMac238 @MarianneGrossm4 @ElbaRoques A3. As teachers, it is important to realize some students do not have strong working memories. Rather than practicing more flash cards, a teacher can help these students by planning meaningful learning, helping kids link their learning.

@StevieMac238 @MarianneGrossm4 @ElbaRoques A1: Working memory is short term memory

[Katherine Smith @dunkd3_]

@StevieMac238 @MarianneGrossm4 @ElbaRoques A2. In addition to story elements, students need to remember syntax in literature.#ComprehendThis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

A1. It’s the ability to remember information while doing an activity. #comprehendthis

[Katherine Smith @dunkd3_]

A1. Working memory is energy or "memory" it takes to remember recall information. When I think of working memory, I think of effort. #comprehendthis

[Katherine Smith @dunkd3_]

Socio economic status may affect ELL students comprehension. The public schools and the available resources like dual language programs, access to a translator, and or social worker. #comprehendthis

[Katherine Smith @dunkd3_]

A4. Daily opportunities exist to celebrate diversity in the classroom. Being mindful of language is a good place to start, group reads about people from different places and time, incorporating content by educators like Howard Zinn in lesson plan ideas.#Comprehendthis
