@KatieFarr5 What is the kids fill it with book recommendations as they finish books they enjoy throughout the school year? It would provide them ownership over the classroom library and take some work off your plate too ;)

[Maria Miller @mmillerWCSD]

Yes! This is such an important distinction to make when introducing teachers to Number Talks

We have the most beautiful wildlife @IndianValleyWC. A first grader found this moth today - it was the size of my hand!

Teachers: Want to engage your students in reading and outdoor activities?🌳📚 Last year, my students surveyed Kindergarten for their favorite topics: dragons 🐉, kittens 🐱, dogs 🐶, and soccer ⚽. Then incorporated them all into a storybook trail for others to read outside.

Make editing fun during test prep! Have students peer edit using this chart. Each student selects a lens and then works together to fix up their writing.

3rd grade writers read their opinion pieces to those they wrote them about. Can’t get a more authentic audience than that. All staff are notable @IndianValleyWC! @JanRogenski @WalnutCreekSD @katieeven

[Maria Miller @mmillerWCSD]

Our teachers are dying to check this out! Would love the opportunity to share it with them :)

@WCsup @JanRogenski This lady came dressed to take on any and everything for today’s pd day! @PamDavis_CA

[Maria Miller @mmillerWCSD]

Thank you @WalnutCreekSD K and 3-5 teachers for a couple awesome pd sessions this morning. You bring insight and insight excitement to our learning!

[Maria Miller @mmillerWCSD]

We are so excited about the progress these 3rd grade writers are making @IndianValleyWC! Today they identified parts of their opinion pieces to elaborate, cut those parts out, and glued them down with additional space to add more examples and details. @JanRogenski @WalnutCreekSD

[Maria Miller @mmillerWCSD]

@milissabanister @Mrsherrera35 @IndianValleyWC I can’t wait to see all their sweaters ;)
