@MonteSyrie @codebreakeredu That one worked. Thank you!

[Jen Buttars @jenbuttars]

@LindsayKemeny @BenisonMrs Thank you! We will try it and report back :)

@BenisonMrs @LindsayKemeny suggestions for a 2nd grader who knows their letter sounds but cannot blend sounds together? Either as a PA task with or without letters or decoding cvc. Ts are using UFLI, 95%, and Heggerty.

@technologylaura I really strive not to. Although I’m also always in teacher mode: on the lookout for new info, thinking about improvement, thinking about reaching the tough kids.

@leeannjung I would read this book!!

[Jen Buttars @jenbuttars]

@MrZachG It takes a master teacher to sit in that just right pocket of discovery. And the Ss still need to have been taught some stuff. Thinking about my 5th grade volume lesson series

@DudespostingWs Cuz he was a farm kid before he was anything else. He’s been moving hay since he could walk!

[Jen Buttars @jenbuttars]

@MonteSyrie Lmk what you think. I’m using it to justify everything! Anecdotal evidence for the win!

[Jen Buttars @jenbuttars]

@TCEA @WeAreTeachers I LOVE year round school!!! I was at a four track YR school for 8 years. It would be even better as a single track!

@MattRKay 25 and 27 on Zoom.

[Jen Buttars @jenbuttars]

@lauraharvey1535 @heymrsbond Agreed.

[Jen Buttars @jenbuttars]

@AbbyTeachesDSM Yes! And this is what gets missed in so many of the "with fidelity" (and other) conversations. My social studies students pretty much all get A's. Not because I'm an easy grader - but because of the classroom conditions.

[Jen Buttars @jenbuttars]

@sage_stage It's both. There are people (past me included) that will appreciate every opportunity for extra $$. It's a slippery slope if the district is going to expect everyone to have the knowledge from the optional PD.

[Jen Buttars @jenbuttars]

@RiebeforUtah Keep on preaching!!

[Jen Buttars @jenbuttars]

@sage_stage I teach in a virtual public school and I agree 💯 with both points!

[Jen Buttars @jenbuttars]

@thenation @BLoveSoulPower @EdgeofSports 🤮

[Jen Buttars @jenbuttars]

@eduleadership Thank you for clarifying. Because of my sitch I have always used classroom work time as a chance to help students figure out their needs. Usually they figure out pretty readily if the music is a help or a distraction. But that’s just me.
