Today we began learning about number patterns, then I tasked the kiddos to create their own number pattern following one rule, then trade with a partner to identify the rule they created, then find the next 3 numbers in the pattern. #ugogirl

It’s been a while! Hellooo 2024 - 2025 school year! This year you can catch me back in the classroom gettin the AC party started in 4th grade at @GreenAcres_ES !The convos we have and the untapped potential this group has is fueling my fire! 🔥 🧠 📈

Maybe phonics + knowledge aren't enough to equip all students to read text with multisyllabic words.

In my Forbes post, I write about new developments that could help many students who have been left to flounder for too long. @ReadableEnglish @aerdf

When life hands you more than what you feel like you can handle, take a deep breath, and tell yourself you got this 💜

Also, Happy #nationalteacherappreciationday to all the unsung heroes of the world ✏️ 📓 ♥️

I’ve always said my magic power is matching books to kids that I know would interest them and get them excited about reading. Today I ended my day by surprise delivering some books to old Ss of mine with a note inside. Their smiles makes this hard work worth it 🥰📚👩‍🏫

@atlantaoly @wsbtv Teachers deserve bonuses quarterly on top of a pay raise to idk…: actually live off of?

We were tasked with listening to the podcast #SoldAStory before our next session. I listened to episode 1 on my way home and all I can say is WOW. So many thoughts/emotions I’m exploding 🤯

Truly impressed with @COBB_ELA’s #SkilledTeacherBuildSkilledReaders PL series! Today was pt 2/5 where we dove into the phonemic awareness and phonics pillars of the “big 5.” @JenMayo224 is amazing!

One of my first years teaching I was introduced to the trap schools and educators often fall into with the acronym DRIP—Data Rich, Information Poor. It changed the way I view not only assessing, but more importantly analyzing and using the data to truly personalize instruction!

IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE!
#TheOneandOnlyIvan has been one of my go-to read alouds in 3rd grade. One of my favorite things is when Ss come back to me when they go to 4th to show me they are reading The One and Only Ruby (or One and Only Bob!) I can’t wait to tell them this news 🦍📖

[Katherine Applegate (kaaauthor.bsky.social) @kaaauthor]

So happy to share this news: Ivan is coming back for one last adventure—his biggest yet.

THE ONE AND ONLY FAMILY is out May 7, 2024. 🦍❤️

I read aloud The Legend of Spookley when Kinder joined @gingerkhendrix’s firsties for their book buddy snacktivity 🎃 As chaotic as it was, it was the cutest! Reading should be FUN! #itsfrostingnotcheesewhiz 😂

[Geena Frikor @learnwithfrikor]

But now I am called Ms. Pants (🤷‍♀️) and I basically feel like a celebrity two days in. I walked in today and this is was what happened…😅🥰Kinder kids really boost your ego until you realize…they’re 5 LOL (you can catch me saying “ahhh I’m stuck in kindergarten!”) 💀

[Geena Frikor @learnwithfrikor]

At one point I had a realization I was arguing with a 5 year old that lowercase ‘e’ is indeed lowercase ‘e’ 😆

[Geena Frikor @learnwithfrikor]

Those of you know who me, know an ongoing joke of how I’m just not cut out for Kinder 😬 my position has shifted and am now working with, you guessed it, Kinder 😂 I felt like a first year teacher all over again and was just as bananas as pictured 🤪

[Geena Frikor @learnwithfrikor]

@DrJonesGAES @GreenAcres_ES @bamaria12 That’s a #FrikorAlum right there 😉
