If executive functioning is something you’re thinking more about right now, you will find this 👇🏽conversation helpful.

I really appreciated the opportunity to join @MisterCavey on @TeachersOnFire w/ my coauthor, @S_Oberle, to talk through what this looks like in K–3 classrooms.

Travel days mean lots of time for books. I've found a good one!

@MrZachG @S_Oberle @organizedbinder

[Sarah Oberle, Ed.D. @S_Oberle]

I brought my book to school today so my 1st graders could see that I am a writer just like them.

One of them asked to read it during quiet time 🥹

[Mitch Weathers @organizedbinder]

@karenvaites @S_Oberle @GTavernetti Echoing @S_Oberle's sentiments @karenvaites! Thanks for tuning and for sharing ❤️!

[Sarah Oberle, Ed.D. @S_Oberle]

I wrote a book with this guy and despite no one else having it yet, it’s already #5 on the Amazon spec Ed list. It’s also 40,782 in all books so…you should def check it out.
And let us know when it gets to you!
