What are you writing about? Who are you writing it for? What do you want your reader to learn? Guiding students through answering these questions helps them identify the purpose behind their work.

"For every choice I make for kids, I give them two choices back. i.e, 'Yes, you have to write right now. But what you write about and what you write with is up to you.'" @MrazKristine #msc2018

Kids need to be able to move and have unstructured time to re-fuel their willpower. Instead of "do now?" A morning soft start filled with choice. @MrazKristine #msc2018
When a student walks into your classroom, plops down in the chair, and puts their head on their desk, your first thought should not be: “disrespectful student.” Your first thought should be: “What does this child need?” #TeachBetter
How different types of stories affect young children's brains:
- Audio only: Too cold. Not enough stimulation
- Animation: Too hot. Overstimulation reduces comprehension.
- Picture books read aloud: Just right. Comprehension & integration are highest.
