I haven’t posted a lot this year because it has been flying by! I’m teaching a clustered group this year & they’re EXCEEDING my expectations. Here’s our Social Contract we created at the beginning of the year. I’m so amazed at the conversations that happened when we created this!

“The points are great, but I read to escape.” - Ms. Mac. I try my best to teach my students to find books that interest and intrigue them. If they want to get AR points, that’s great, but I personally struggled with AR when I was in school and it hindered my love of reading.

@ESTangelia If by hard, do you mean that it is challenging work? If so, then yes, it’s better.

Today, a student with language disability not only understood and told me that a character was bullying, he also ran to get another book due to a Text-to-Text connection he made. Two years together and this moment was amazing. Testing can never show this. #2ndGradeThoughts

We started off our planning day in such a positive way: giving compliments to each other by writing on our backs! #PGEThinkDreamBelieveDare #ECSDFL

For a novel you write seventy thousand words or so. For a picture book you DELETE sixty-nine thousand, two hundred. Or maybe I’m doing something wrong.

Roy Hyatt Environmental Center Field Trip! Our babies used GPS, looked for evidence, searched through clues, answered test prep questions, and refreshed their memory on vertebrates and invertebrates! Wow! This was an amazing day! #ECSDFL #ThinkDreamBelieveDare

[Mac's Magical Class @mshmacdonald]

Exceptionally proud, humbled, and honored. #ECSDFL #ThinkDreamBelieveDare

At the start of her career, this educator took it upon herself to observe teachers she admired. What did she learn? They prioritized relationships. https://t.co/lAsjBlcRRa
