“Teachers are feeling burnt out and overworked. But hope is more powerful than despair. Data isn’t destiny, but rather an opportunity. ” Takeru Nagayoshi @tk_nagayoshi at the @PanoramaEd Virtual Summit #PanoSummit https://t.co/N8oG2LB4vz

@Greg_Moffitt This is awesome!!!! Spend some quality time with your family & practice some self care in the meantime!

When a student cashes in 10 Dojo points earned for perseverance & smart thinking during reading groups.....Move over PRIZE BOX! Instead, she chose to read in her socks & strategically wore her favorite pair to make it even more epic! #tlap #relentless #EES4SUCCESS #litbit

@brewerhm Love it!! When I taught 2nd grade, we did the same during the month of December! Nothing like describing Christmas gifts by shape & attributes :)

@brewerhm @burgessdave @dbc_inc @BNfburg @TaraMartinEDU I'm so jealous!! Also just found out Fred Lynn is just 15 minutes away from sister! How awesome! Love your book! Preach it! I needed this affirmation :) Keep up the great work!

@Greg_Moffitt You've got this, Greg!! You're an amazing leader, and I'm grateful for the opportunity I had to meet & collaborate with you while getting my own feet wet in a new school/state/position! Your own mindset, building trust, & buy in can be difficult hurdles.

@Greg_Moffitt Real trees were harmed in the making of fake logs. No telling how many nightly entries were made up! Poor trees thought they were being used to build a coffee table...or a log cabin. #legitlogs

Lesson Intention #1:
**Alignment to Your Inner Teacher**
Do you believe in your lesson?
Do you feel like you're sacrificing some part of yourself?
Does it ignite passion?
Does your best teaching self feel at home here?

Oooooooohhhhh I like this! Let’s work this into something, my friends. I have ideas... 🤓 @missreb21 @STEMagillPSMS @sciencejaclyn

[KT @KT_Literacy]

@Greg_Moffitt Yes! As a new teacher years ago, I valued the opportunity to do this! I think it speaks volumes when administration is more than willing to step out of the office and get involved in the classroom. Total collaboration! Not to mention the impact it has on students & parents!

[KT @KT_Literacy]

@Greg_Moffitt @FairmontCharter Congrats!! Your staff is blessed to have you! I need to drop by and say hello sometime! Your new work home is a block from my house! Looking forward to hearing about all the great things happening at Fairmont this year!

[KT @KT_Literacy]

@mrsstandre Thank you! I have an amazing admin that supports these opportunities, so I'm beyond grateful for her!

Saddle up & read a great book at the OK to Read Corral! Even Clifford joined in on the reading fun at our 2nd annual family reading night!!! @mrsstandre

Reading Aloud to Children does help in so many ways!

A6 I love Sara Ahmed’s soft start as a ritual for independent reading 1st thing in the day. It turns our classroom library into an instructional welcome wagon. #G2Great

[KT @KT_Literacy]

I have filled our little free library for the 3rd time this week to ensure our kiddos have plenty of books to enjoy over spring break! The demand is high & so is my excitement! It takes a village! #littlefreelibrary #creatingareadingculture @DrMaryHoward

[KT @KT_Literacy]

We're beyond excited to offer recess reading to our students with our one of kind little libraries! @mrsstandre

The single most important factor in students’ literacy success is skillful, informed teaching. #FPLiteracy

[KT @KT_Literacy]

Diving in deep! Our teachers are pretty excited about the new Literacy Continuum! #literacy @FountasPinnell #ees4success @eusdcruise
