@mrbgilson That's a very niche word. I read it in fantasy books, so I was familiar, but I would say that's a stretch.

@BenisonMrs Do you by chance have a link or the DOI of that article? I would like to look at it.

[Kelsey Anderson @kelseyscott44]

@mrbgilson Have you tried a grilled cheese yet?!

[Kelsey Anderson @kelseyscott44]

@drrobinbright @ULethbridgeEdu @Stavely_LRSD @LRSD_68 @PembrokePublish Is there a specific literacy assessment you like? I like hearing what other schools, professionals, and literacy teachers prefer!

[Kelsey Anderson @kelseyscott44]

@mrbgilson Excuse me, sir? I am going on Friday.

[Kelsey Anderson @kelseyscott44]

@mrbgilson So hard in a job where you are asked me to be self-sacricificing. I needed this reminder.

[Kelsey Anderson @kelseyscott44]

@HartmanTeri I read your thesis this fall and found it very touching. Well done!

[Kelsey Anderson @kelseyscott44]

We just finished a book club and one group read The Grace Year by Kim Liggett. Some students created mood boards and I have been SO impressed. This is just one of the amazing examples that they are working on. They nailed the mood and aesthetic of it!

@HartmanTeri Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Notting Hill, Sabrina (90s version)

@AuthorLisaFipps Starfish is spreading through our middle school like wildfire and I could not be happier about it. I sobbed through most of it, healing little me's heart in tiny ways, and I'm sure your words are speaking to them the say way!

[Kelsey Anderson @kelseyscott44]

@mrbgilson Also, still love that you and Ray are best friends.

[Kelsey Anderson @kelseyscott44]

@mrbgilson Happy birthday, friend!

Independent reading is not about a level; it’s not about a certain number of minutes. Independent reading is that reading we do that helps us develop independent thoughts - not thoughts directed by anyone else.

@mrbgilson You could definitely tie in immigration and the promise of the American dream.

[Kelsey Anderson @kelseyscott44]

@mrbgilson That's why I've never understood the argument of, "It's never going to resonate with them, so we're not going to read it/ talk about it..." OR "They just don't care, so..." Does it matter that it's not their lived experience? Those voices still deserve to be heard.

The more I think of this comment, the more is disturbs me. That our elected MLA’s would think so poorly of public education in this province. Alberta has one of the best systems in the world, we need to protect and enhance it, not tear it apart.

Working on organizing a great Literacy PD event for teachers in Alberta. Alberta teachers we would love for you to share what you are doing in your classroom. @ElacSouth @ELACedmonton @ABELATeachers @CentralElac Please spread the word.

[Kelsey Anderson @kelseyscott44]

@mrbgilson Did you read the book? I'm hesitant to start the series if it's not going to be as good as the book.

[Kelsey Anderson @kelseyscott44]

@MarisaEThompson Good idea! A student is asking and I'm just sitting here, sweating, without an answer. Google is not helping.

Writing Question:
If I'm writing a dialogue between myself and another person, and I am the narrator of the story, and I want to insert thoughts as the narrator within a paragraph of their speech, how would I do this? It's almost as an aside to the audience after each sentence.
