We are so lucky to have the opportunity to go visit kindergarten buddies @MrsAustinKinder. We love reading with them and dancing with them! Today we even got to talk about what we want to be when we grow up!
“If you tell your students what to say and how to say it,you may never hear them. Only the lake echoes of what they imagine you want them to be.”-Donald Murray. Such a powerful quote brought up by Vicki Vinton in “Letting students Be the Protagonist in their own Learning” #wsra19
“If we keep our kids in the shallow end they are never going to learn to swim.” Every kid deserves to be challenged. Every kid deserves to be pushed. Equity means making those challenges attainable- Dr. Pedro Noguera
While you are cuddled in relaxing on a snow day, a group of Middle School teachers are spending the day talking about/ learning with reading education. Excited for #WSRA19
Hope everyone is keeping warm in these frigid temperatures!! I���m excited for the extra reading time! If you are working on your book club, or social justice writing and have questions, feel free to email me!
Happy Halloween!! We are busy writing descriptive nonfiction paragraphs about Haunted/Old Houses. Anyone in the market to move? Ask your student about their sensory language, rich details, or powerful adjectives.
We have been lucky enough to have West Depere District Curriculum Director Mrs. Amy LaPierre on our 180 book challenge! We are beyond thankful that she shared her time, fantastic book choices, and outstanding reading with us this year!Thank you Mrs.LaPierre!@AmyLaPierreWDP
Our 6-7 class cannot believe that we had our final meeting with our buddies @MrsAustinKinder today! We cannot believe how all have grown this year academically! We are so thankful to the administration of both schools for allowing us to meet every month! @WDPWestwood
How lucky are we that our class gets the WRITER of our read aloud here to read to us today! Mrs. Eserkaln is sharing her book Sydney Owns a School. @WDPMS6thGrade #wdppride
Excited to be starting our new and final read aloud of the year... Sydney Owns a School! By our very own, Mrs. Eserkaln. Maybe we will bet a special guest reader once in a while. #wdppride
How lucky are these 6th graders!! We had the privilege of having the SNC Crew coaches in to read from our read aloud The Boys in the Boat and tell us all about the sport of rowing. Thanks Coach Paula and Coach Steve!
In 8-9 we Dropped Everything And Read with a 7th grade class!! We were in the middle of read aloud when we realized it was time! dropping reading for reading is the Best!! #wdpDEAR2018#wdppride
Our class is so thankful and excited that Mrs. Verbeten took us through an orientation of the #doInk App and green screen technology. We cannot wait to start illustrating our Choose Your Own Adventure stories! @WDPMS6thGrade
@gcouros I love the book “Who is Melvin Bubble” for personal narratives. It’s a fun way for students to share who they are, through the perspectives of others.
