Happy Birthday to King Friday the XIII
"His name was King Friday XIII. We just thought that was fun because so many people are so superstitious about Friday the 13th that we thought, let’s start children out thinking that Friday the 13th was a fun day. And every Friday the 13th would be his birthday. So we would celebrate his birthday every time a Friday the 13th came." - Fred Rogers.

“Now students are intimidated by anything over 10 pages and seem to walk away from readings of as little as 20 pages with no real understanding.”
This seems so obvious but kids need to read whole length books, and have whole books read to them, with support, regularly.
Our high school got rid of quarters five years ago. Instead we have rolling grades, which keeps a continuous average throughout the year. No more "end of quarter" last-ditch efforts to submit work. And because there is no "end," I can be more accommodating. #bfc530
