Finished Fortunately, the Milk by @neilhimself as a read aloud with my 3rd graders. Class laughed out loud, on the edge of their seats the entire book. Everyone clapped and cheered at the end. Not the same response at the end of Stone Fox, which it followed. Not in the least.

@MsSutton12 #GRABAT18W2 ch 5 a4: Bat didn't explain what he was talking about so Janie misunderstood him. Bat could have chosen his words better. He may have no patience to find the right words. This makes Janie misunderstand him.

@MsSutton12 #GRABAT18W2 ch 5 a3: maybe they could put some towels in a basket for the kit. Or, they may build a small habitat for him in Bat's room. Perhaps the habitat could have a dog's bed.

@MsSutton12 #GRABAT18W2 ch 5 a2: Bat thinks it is cute and furry and he loves animals. He wanted to help the orphaned kit.

@MsSutton12 #GRABat18w2 ch 5 A1: It was fuzzy, it had a forehead covered with fur, a tiny pink nose,small tucked in ears, a tiny pink tongue, sleeping, its eyes were closed, tiny face, it was yawning

#GRABAT18W1 A2: He is called Bat, because those are his initials. He also flaps his hands when he gets nervous, mad, or excited. He also has sensitive ears. Finally, he loves animals.

.#GRABAT18W1 A3: Some of the foods we do not like are cantelope, tomatoes, chewy chicken, oranges, cake (no frosting!), and Indian food

#GRABAT18W1 A4: She is trying to help Bat be polite. This tells us she is responsible, acts like a teacher, little bossy, and teases her brother.

SBE adopts California's first-ever Computer Science Standards! Member Williams: "As a forward-leaning state, and home to Silicon Valley, California’s new standards will enable students to understand how their digital world works and encourage critical thinking."

@WassLib @kellyyanghk @PicCollage I love this idea! Totally borrowing...

One of the limits of relying on paper-and-pencil assessments is that correct answers can hide confusion while incorrect answers can mask understanding. In interviews, I listen and I learn.

Thanks to @MilsteinLab for Skyping with Room 10 on Thursday. 3rd grade Ss learned a bit about biological physics, and more importantly, about the work scientists do. We now have many budding scientists in class, excited to learn more. #SkypeAScientist @moragaedtech

@kylehopkinsAK @vjotimesherald @mgafni Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to chat with us! The students were so excited and learned a lot about the Iditarod (as did the teachers!) Thanks too to @mgafni for making it happen. @moragaedtech

Hey @digichica--changed up my reader's workshop this morning last minute after we spoke. Ss used @Seesaw in book clubs to show how illustrations add to a writer's story. Thanks!

"Why can't every day be Tinker Time?" Ss asked while building pinball machines, narwhals with LED eyes, and ipad holders for the disabled.
