Naturalists often record their discoveries about nature in field notes. What if we did the same for words?
Try creating a word field note by April 29, and we may feature it on The Learning Network. https://t.co/QngXsimdgY
I’ve played on 2 NCAA Sweet 16 teams.
Been a D1 assistant on conference championship teams at 3 different schools.
Been head coach of 3 D1 teams that reached the NCAA tournament.
And I’ve made many mistakes.
Here is the biggest mistake I made in communicating with players:
My 12yo had a homework assignment to create a timeline of the influential books in her life. I LOVED what she did (and the books she chose!). Inside the books she wrote a blurb about how the book impacted her. ❤️
This is the kind of response that keeps a writer writing. We should keep this image & words beside us every time we give writers feedback. And only what fits on a sticky note! @Sandi@HeinemannPub
Processing today: I took 2 fully online APSI courses this summer. Here are my takeaways as it relates to being a "student" in an online class.
1. Do not make students turn on their cameras
There were times I was eating & turned off my camera only to be asked to turn it back on
Playing with the poem “Social Distancing” by Jose Herrera & imagining how I might use it with kids. Thanks to Carla Espana, teacher in NYC for sharing this & what her 8th graders wrote in response. @pennykittle
It was a great morning! Over 600 joined! @Bob and I might do 2 more - one for folks new to Notice and Note or BHH (called Notice and Note 1.0) and one for those ready to dig deeper (Notice and Note 2.0). No fee. Will judge interest by RTs. Early June.
Today’s prompt: Reflect on all of the books you’ve read this year. What connections can you make between them? Here’s what one of our students created. #whyiteach#ProjectLITBookClub

On my last day with my 5th graders yesterday, this tattered copy of For Everyone by @JasonReynolds83 was returned to me and made me weep. It made it to every kid in our class. On their own, they read and passed it on. These kids are gonna be alright.
