"Implementation hinges on buy-in, support, and clear expectations"... why yes, yes it does. How will NYC public schools adjust? https://t.co/BOWJVhlSFW

We took a little hiatus from X, but now we're back! We will continue to post info that we find interesting and relevant about charter schools, our amazing students, and all things literacy.

Each question was answered in a way that engaged our young scholars and prompted them to think further about each topic. What a treat to be able to meet the author of such an important story! THANK YOU, @TomRogersWriter!

Last week, Ms. Fleming's 5th grade #innovators had the privilege of meeting @tomrogersbook, author of 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯. The timing of the discussion was perfect as the class had just that morning finished reading the novel.

- Why did you add a dog to your book?
- What inspired you to use those names for the characters?
- If you were to draw Radar [the dog in the book], what color do you think he would be?

Adding more greenspace is *definitely* something we want to do!

Transforming schoolyards into green, shaded spaces creates STEM learning opportunities and fosters problem-solving skills.

Interesting read about school choice and the ever-evolving K-12 landscape.

Most critically, handwriting engages more cognitive resources than keyboarding does

Why cursive, especially for children with dyslexia?

[Lakes & Bridges Charter School @lakesandbridges]

All lowercase cursive letters can begin on the line, so fewer of them are likely to be reversed.

[Lakes & Bridges Charter School @lakesandbridges]

When writing cursive, the word becomes a unit, rather than a series of separate strokes, and correct spelling is more likely to be retained.

Interesting read re: structured literacy and English learners. Literacy instruction based in science is so incredibly important! https://t.co/z0u45XwSyD

“I just hope that teachers who are still hanging on to their old way of teaching reading someday get a student like I had, who makes them question why they’re not learning and helps them have an aha moment.” https://t.co/17SEi0ECvP
