My students love visiting our school library. Our media specialist is a superb storyteller. Making plans to help our first graders research a topic for their informational writing projects. @LisaGilligan4 #CFCultureofLiteracy

@HEATHERMDILLS1 This rubric shows exactly what criteria are needed for mastery. Thanks for sharing! @LisaGilligan4

@BakerCarletha @LisaGilligan4 I noticed that you could use this rubric to grade an oral presentation or a written presentation. Students need to practice oral speaking skills, too! @LisaGilligan4

@KenseyEdgar Relating an assignment to a student's personal life motivates them to want to do the work. Love this!

This GPB Cat in the Hat video will be great for building background knowledge about pulleys prior to the read aloud, How To Make a Pulley. https://t.co/6HiVXCLqD9

@Whitmangirl @LisaGilligan4 The use of beginning and ending sounds as a criteria for mastery is very appropriate for kindergarteners. #SWGASinglePointRubric

@paulme_melissa @LisaGilligan4 I love the way this rubric gives credit to those students with advanced writing skills. #SWGASinglePointRubric

[Karen Moncrief @moncriefka]

@ReadinEndorFran @LisaGilligan4 I like that this rubric gives students the opportunity to earn credit for each read. #SWGASinglePointRubric

Check out this article from Edutopia about why using a single point rubric is advantageous for our students! https://t.co/PmWIoGCe7D

My grandfather was born on February 29. Oh, how I wish I had talked to him before he passed away about what it was like to be a Leap Year baby!

Our solar year is 365.24219 days. Since our calendar does not deal in partial days, every four years, we add an additional day to February. Learn more at https://t.co/Ai17tjOioS.

@ReadinEndorFran @LisaGilligan4 Reading Rockets is one of my favorite resources. This article had information I will use in my presentation. Thank you for sharing!

@KenseyEdgar I agree with this article so much! Why am I not teaching the parents of my students that success is more about effort and perseverance rather than innate ability? #SWGAContentLearning @LisaGilligan4

@HEATHERMDILLS1 I am going to use the Oral Presentation checklist from this article with my students! I have tried all year to teach them how to give oral presentations, and their behaviors have not changed. I know this will help!

@Whitmangirl @LisaGilligan4 Several years ago i attended one of Steve Peha's writing workshops at SWGA Resa. I still use many of his strategies today!

[Karen Moncrief @moncriefka]

@ReadinEndorFran @LisaGilligan4 The information in the article I shared explains how to do QAR, too! Reading Rockets is a website I visit often!

@BakerCarletha @nytvideo @LisaGilligan4 I love videos! I use them all the time for lots of different reasons. I might show a video to introduce a topic or for a review before a test.
