A quick tip for blending 🔥
When sounds are separated: m / a / p students may lose the first sound before they get to the end.
Instead, try continuous blending:
✨ stretch and connect the sounds
✨ keep it smooth

Was incredibly proud to see such an inclusive 3rd grade classroom today tackling their writing task at Morrell Park. Students were in data-based groups with the same task, but appropriate scaffolds, writing their hearts out. Great planning, implementation & co-teaching, Eagles!

Incredibly proud of Principal Johnson-Walker from Morrell Park for presenting how she leverages progress monitoring at her school to update teacher small group plans. Beyond compliance, Morrell Park yet again met their School Performance Plan this year with DIBELS! 🦅 #CLNLive5
Summer Learning Bags are going home today! Each includes 8 weeks of fun reading & math activities to fight the “summer slide.” Let’s keep growing all summer long! ☀️ #SummerLearning#FamilyEngagement#CLN5@BaltCitySchools
Excited to share some great news from our EOY DIBELS testing! A total of 150 students in grades K–5 met their composite score goals, showing strong growth in their foundational reading skills. These students received goody bags as a reward!! #morrellpark#baltimorecity
#CLNLive5 engaged today sharing their Literacy journeys today at Leadership Institute. Such a fun activity and I felt honored to have been featured in a couple posters! #TeamCitySchools

At Morrell Park Elementary/Middle School we want all our students to SOAR! Students are given the challenge to read over Spring Break and prepare for testing when we return! We can't wait to see how many scholars participate @BaltCitySchools@MPEMS220#reading#fluencymatters
Gosh today felt good. Thanks to @BayBrookEMS for hosting the #CLN5 Literacy Coaches for our first forum in a building in years. Lots of learning, laughs and community this morning - just what I needed before the weekend!
