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

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.
