Readers need a book, not a lexile level. They need time, not a stop watch. They need choice. They need to discover what they love. They need to dive into books and come up gasping for air so they can dive back in.

In Family and Consumer Science classes, we ask them to prepare food. With real food. In Art classes, we ask them to make and to create art. With real tools and materials of the medium. In Language Arts classes, we ask them to be literate for life. And we give them textbooks.

A new study finds that greeting students at the door increases engagement by 20%, reduces disruptions by 9% -- effectively adding 1 hour of learning per day. My latest article on @edutopia https://t.co/ht527kM5nP

This year's senior class (487) is our smallest & our kindergarten class (629) is our largest ever. The need to add class space & build new schools is real & the Sept 11 bond vote and 10-year plan address growth in all schools long term. Every vote counts, please RT & please vote.

Gazette's Editorial Board endorses bond stating they see "Linn-Mar’s approach as a reasonable strategy for dealing with its growth. We’d urge district residents with a stake in Linn-Mar’s future to get informed and vote." Please RT & please vote Sept 11. https://t.co/SIT6gjbYjX

Linn-Mar's bond issue would cost the owner of a home with an assessed value of $200,000 less than $6.00 a month. Learn more about the tax impact in this video or by visiting https://t.co/5nE9UWrnlC -- please RT and please vote September 11th.
