Today is bitter sweet! It is my last first day of school since 1976! Every year since kindergarten I have either been a student or part of a school staff experiencing the first day! The excitement of welcoming students on the 1st day is something that I will greatly miss!

Great thought for the weekend, and BTW, if you are not reading for meaning, then you are not reading at all.

[Becky Allen @BeckyAllenReads]

We recommend reading the latest post by @DoctorSam7 “My Side of the Story—a guest blog post by Dr. Jan Richardson.” Dr. Richardson focuses on allegations made about guided reading & addresses claims that it is not aligned with reading science. Read more: https://t.co/z3VFmwiIJ9

OK diving into some self reflection about mathematical instructional practices in preparation for some @MWwolverines staff to get together and exchange thoughts and ideas after reading to talk about implementation to better serve our students. Thanks @pierce_edu for organizing.

[Candace Pierce @pierce_edu]

@MrCookSchool @MWwolverines Excited to have so many teacher's interested in changing their practice to best serve our students!

@CSTeach2Grow @JSerravallo Do you listen to her podcast? It has been a great discovery for my drives to school in the morning. I have to listen to them a second time this summer so I can take notes!!
