From writing in math to STEM we had an amazing day in our Math Vertical Team! I’m lucky to be able to learn and collaborate with these amazing educators! We even made a human graph with @joboaler Moving with Data! @lovejoyisd1#LoJoMath
We had the best 3 days of curriculum writing! We had content wars and ate a lot of food, but we also managed to crank out a ton of work! I’m so proud to be apart of Team Lovejoy! Team Green had a very impressive come from the behind win! @TeachLoJo#lovejoyculture
As someone who has taught reading intervention, I’m pretty quiet on the reading wars except to say that when you use the term “war” you will end up with casualties. You’ll dehumanize. You’ll create enemies in a way that prevents dialogue.
Phonics matter. Blending matters. Stories matter. Prior knowledge matters. Helping kids fall in loving with reading matters.
I want to see kids read. I’m not interested in warfare.
Our Math Vertical Team is working hard this morning to calibrate strong and weak in students’ writing samples from math class. @lovejoyisd1#lovejoyproud
