@melbrethour @i_am_dyslexicau I think what is more important is that teachers have a responsibility to respond to the needs of their students and every student deserves an education from a teacher who looks beyond social media to learn about developing instructional pathways that address all learning needs.

[Pat Pollack @pollack_pat]

@melbrethour Are you forgetting about multilingual learners who benefit from conceptual previews and looking at the pictures? Responsive teaching is critical. Never say never. You ultimately are misleading educators and are leaving out a most important group of learners.

@SoRclassroom They are actually called dialogue tags.

[Pat Pollack @pollack_pat]

@ehanford If only these recordings offered all sides to this “story” instead of inspiring schools to make so many changes. You have insulted educators who have worked hard to provide their students with a balance of best practices, engagement and thought-filled, joyful reading experiences.

A great way to learn Memoir Writing- studying artwork and zooming in on the best parts.

@drkevinbrussell I am so very sorry Kevin. Prayers and positive thoughts being sent to you and your children, today and always.

[Pat Pollack @pollack_pat]

Such amazing authors!

[Lauren Prosser @LProsser15]

I’m going to miss working with this class so much! We had a great time during the @Schoolwide FUNctional Writing unit. Students set goals, created various writing pieces, sent persuasive letters in the mail, & made our own Jolly Postman book! #dg58pride #pufferpride

[Pat Pollack @pollack_pat]

Amazing!

[YeeKindergartenLife @YeeKinderLife]

In our functional writing unit Kdg. will be writing a persuasive letter to our parents. We wrote a class letter to our librarian @cforzley. We hope she will write back letting us know if we have persuaded her to let us check out two books each week. #dg58pride #LEchoosesHAPPY

[Pat Pollack @pollack_pat]

I’m so impressed! Hope you noticed lots of details!

[Lauren Prosser @LProsser15]

Gallery walk to admire the details our classmates put into their letter illustrations today! @Schoolwide #dg58pride #pufferpride

#WEBINAR 💡 How do we inspire students to see themselves as writers? How do we surround students with examples and experiences that enrich their writing process, so they can grow as authors and writers?

You are assuming kids can’t learn how to read with these resources? Perhaps you should consider a broader lens that defines cultivating thoughtful readers instead of a myopic lens defining readers through creating decoders. You only did half of your research.

[Michele @PureMichigannow]

All students in the @troyschools have the right to learn how to read. My pleas have gone unanswered and the Troy School District continues to use Lucy Calkins, Fountas & Pinnell and Reading Recovery. Inspired by @ehanford in Sold a Story., we will speak and march! #soldastory
