@Trey10mom @kindylkilar Look at that form! ❤️

@cwayda @goodreads I couldn’t agree with you more! Books have been a great escape from reality this year. Merry Christmas to you and the family, Christine! ❤️

@cwayda @goodreads My original goal was 30, and I met that waaay too soon. Now I’m shooting for 40 and I’m almost there!

@Seesaw The sneak peek mentioned a mid-September release, but we're now in October and have yet to see the new features. When should we expect to see the updates?

[Whitney Updike @spunkteach]

@cwayda Sending you lots of good vibes! Saying goodbye and starting fresh is tough. You’ve got this!

@jasminewarga @ProjectLITComm This book was PHENOMENAL! Thank you for sharing your talents with readers!

@MrSheskeyReads @CorwinPress I’m just starting to read this book too! Great minds think alike! 😁

@gibbryan94 I obtained my MEd in Curriculum and Instruction (with a Reading Specialist emphasis) while working full time and coaching 3 seasons. It’s a balancing game, but SO worth it! I’m more than willing to help with any questions that you may have 😁

Remember about 5 months ago when the world pulled together to support healthcare professionals and expressed gratitude in so many different ways?

We need this same energy and gratitude for educators now and forever. 1/5

@cwayda @ReadingLeagueWI I’m in! 😁

[Whitney Updike @spunkteach]

@cwayda I’m trying to figure this out myself! We’ve thrown around the idea of specialists pushing into each classroom to deliver services as much as possible. If we have a one-on-one, they’re suggesting a deep clean of our space and materials once finished.

@MrsStory5th @ProjectLITComm I’m at 12 — a bunch of those are on my personal bookshelf and on my Goodreads list. Looks like I have some reading to do!

[Whitney Updike @spunkteach]

@cwayda That’s a great question — one that I don’t think any of us know the answer to.

[Whitney Updike @spunkteach]

@cwayda How frustrating! It’s disheartening to see that they don’t understand that teaching still happens, even if the physical buildings are closed 😔.

@DrIbram Our elementary staff is reading and discussing #HowToBeAnAntiracist together. What are the chances that you would be willing to virtually join one of our discussions (7/22 at 10AM and/or 8/5 at 4PM)?!
