I’ve spent a lot of time in Kindergarten classrooms lately and there is an overwhelming need for more explicit handwriting instruction and practice. The teachers are maxed out with everything they are already doing m but something has to give.

"Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” ~Jamie Anderson

Teaching handwriting in a structured way helps our brains get even better at recognizing and telling letters apart. This is one of the skills needed to make reading a breeze! By physically shaping letters, kids build a solid understanding of how letters and sounds fit together. It lays the groundwork for literacy, stroke by stroke.

Be caring.

[Ms. Benison- @BenisonMrs]

Gadgets like fidget spinners are more often than not a distraction to students during their reading instruction.

They are a distraction for the student and for the teacher.

It is a myth that we can multitask. Children are either going to focus on the gadget (ex: spinner ) or the instruction, but they can’t successfully do both.

That is it. That is the tweet.
