@KendallBall14 @UvondaMitchell I think this is great! It brings literacy into the informal parts of the day, just like adults may scroll news stories while drinking our coffee in the mornings the children can do the same thing!

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

@whit_911813 @UvondaMitchell I love this! What a great community connection and those kids are probably completely enamored with the readers because they are interested in what they do for a living. It shows that literacy is something not just for teachers and not just in the classroom.

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

The Media Specialists at our middle school have a "book tasting" at the beginning of the year, complete with dining tables & they wear chef hats. I would like to implement something similar at the elementary. I think the kids would love it! #CF20CultureofLiteracy @UvondaMitchell

My sister's and my favorite childhood book! We used to read it with voices 🤪 @UvondaMitchell I mentioned this in my Literacy History assignment!

@DwaramPrabhu @UvondaMitchell This year we began using MAP and I really like what it has to offer. I am able to use it for my IEP meetings, creating goals for my students, and we have the program "Pathblazer" that's linked directly to the skills on which the students need to improve.

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

@ericajacksonhil @UvondaMitchell What level do you teach Erica? I like the idea of Write Score. I was surprised how much writing is required on the Milestones for elementary students. I feel we need more work in that area!

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

We began using MAP Assessment this year. We did one in the fall, winter & were supposed to be doing one this week! It's tied directly into interventions for each student thru Pathblazer & teachers can see exactly where each is lacking. @UvondaMitchell #CF20QualityAssessments

@ericajacksonhil @whitney_kimbrel @UvondaMitchell I think this unexpected break from school might be a blessing in disguise, as it is allowing teachers and parents to think outside the box and find ways to connect and educate outside of the classroom. It's the wave of the future I think!

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

@whit_911813 @UvondaMitchell I'll take a look at BookFlix! Thanks!

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

I like the read aloud feature on sites like Britannica. My students like to use GetEpic which has texts with the read aloud feature and videos to go along with the books they read. Also, they can browse by topics that interest them! #CF20DigitalResources @UvondaMitchell

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

@countryque @UvondaMitchell This is a win-win! You get data (that's great that you can print them and use as assessments) and the students are completing assignments that feel more like a game, therefore they are probably more willing to participate!

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

@ericajacksonhil @CharityyNW @UvondaMitchell I like how you have them ask a classmate. Some of my students default to asking me before they even try, or I have one student who gives the struggling student the answer before he can try to figure it out. I like it when they can help each other because that helps both students!

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

@whitney_kimbrel @UvondaMitchell That's so precious! Sometimes I wish we could simplify the English language & spell all words w/ just letter sounds. I wonder if it would cut down on what we consider "learning disabled" in reading if we didn't have all these rules, & then so many words that break those rules!

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

@whit_911813 @UvondaMitchell As I started teaching this year we adopted new curriculum that has read alouds & we learned that we should introduce & define unknown words ahead of time. I never realized this but it makes sense. I like how you take it further & help make personal connections to them afterward!

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

@CharityyNW @UvondaMitchell I agree with this 100%! In my LLI group the boys really pick up on new words when we are reading books that interest them or are about things they can speak about. We read a book the other day about clearing trees & since that's common around here they really absorbed the words.

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

I have a Leveled Literacy Intervention group everyday and one student breaks apart unknown words letter by letter a lot of times. I help him chunk the words into smaller parts that he might recognize or find familiar letter patterns which helps him. #CF20Phonics @UvondaMitchell

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

Some of my students have learning disabilities in reading so it's hard for them. I was interested to learn that 50-75% of all school books are made up of Dolch sight words. If I can help teach these that's half the battle! Gonna try BINGO! #CF20VocabularyIdeas @UvondaMitchell

@EllerbyCharles Charles, I think you did a great job with your rubric. It was interesting to see how you adapted it for the arts and I think it works well for your content area!

[Jenny Rohrer @feefer128]

@blankenship_mrs @UvondaMitchell I like your rubric Anna! It's straight to the point but covers all important aspects of a writing assignment (for young ones and older ones, too!).
