If you teach and are at the South Dakota State Fair - stop by the @sddoe booth in the education building! They’re giving a free packet with a book, stickers, and Reading Quest! @SDStateFair #StateFair #Education #Reading

@MayorMikeRIP @tefl_on @JamesAFurey @kathyballardwvc Sending good vibes your way! You got this, Buddy!

[Erica Boomsma @ericaboomsma]

@MayorMikeRIP @tefl_on @JamesAFurey @kathyballardwvc Go do your reading! You got this, Buddy!

[Erica Boomsma @ericaboomsma]

@MayorMikeRIP @tefl_on @JamesAFurey @kathyballardwvc Still believing in you!

[Erica Boomsma @ericaboomsma]

@MayorMikeRIP @tefl_on @JamesAFurey @kathyballardwvc You can do it, man! Go do some reading!

[Erica Boomsma @ericaboomsma]

@MayorMikeRIP @tefl_on @JamesAFurey @kathyballardwvc Being raised in South Dakota has taught me to look for the best in others when they don’t show the best of themselves. Do some reading! You can do it, Buddy!

[Erica Boomsma @ericaboomsma]

@MayorMikeRIP @tefl_on @JamesAFurey @kathyballardwvc Those are a lot of big feelings for just being told to do your research. You can do this!! Get after it, Buddy!

[Erica Boomsma @ericaboomsma]

@MayorMikeRIP @tefl_on @JamesAFurey @kathyballardwvc Cute! Still triggered, I see! All you have to do is go research. You can do it, Buddy!

[Erica Boomsma @ericaboomsma]

@MayorMikeRIP @tefl_on @JamesAFurey @kathyballardwvc Go do your research. Spewing insults, now even against children, doesn’t mask your ignorance.

[Erica Boomsma @ericaboomsma]

@MayorMikeRIP @tefl_on @JamesAFurey @kathyballardwvc More insults….You are very triggered! 😂 It’s okay, honey. Triggered by being told to do research. You can do it!!

[Erica Boomsma @ericaboomsma]

@MayorMikeRIP @tefl_on @JamesAFurey @kathyballardwvc Insults do not equate intelligence. Disdain does not equal intelligence. It only shows how you were brought up. My responses show how I was raised, too. Research articles. That’s all you need to do.

[Erica Boomsma @ericaboomsma]

@MayorMikeRIP @tefl_on @JamesAFurey @kathyballardwvc Cute response! Exactly what I expected. Psuedo-intellectual word salad dressed with disdain. Research the actual research on ability grouping - not your own opinions.

[Erica Boomsma @ericaboomsma]

@MayorMikeRIP @tefl_on @JamesAFurey @kathyballardwvc Ability grouping has not been shown to improve scores. Fundamentalist education, like your plan, doesn’t equate to neural development.

Yucky! by @kevinsmithsd is so great! He read it to my class over Zoom, so if you’re feeling like your classroom is too far away, he will make it work!

And, it is awesome!

[Kevin Smith @kevinsmithsd]

I read Yucky! to 3rd graders in Tea, SD today. https://t.co/X80LyouHOl

Do you know a SD student who would benefit from some extra help with school?

Our Dakota Dreams Online Tutoring program is designed for kids in grades K-12. It is FREE for SD kids, and led by tutors pursuing education degrees at South Dakota Universities.

Easy #teachertip - zip tie these little “4 Inch Garden Slotted Mesh Net Cups” to desks from Amazon. They hold water bottles off the floor (no kicking over) and off the desk (away from technology) put close enough students don’t have to get up to get them. Worked for me last year!

The DOE is selecting the best of the best!

Five outstanding SD educators met with the current Teacher of the Year in Pierre as the selection committee for the 2024 TotY got to know each candidate.

@bcjfitzgerald Oh my gosh! It was great!!
