This week in our @FultonCoSchools Parent Academy, I created a St. Patrick’s Day breakout room as part of our “Celebrations” unit. This was a great way help parents develop both critical thinking and language skills in meaningful ways. The winners received @ChickfilA gift cards!❤️

Sentence Patterning Charts are HIGHLY engaging & have low affective filters bc of embedded scaffolds. A language acquisition strategy for ALL students, even our most struggling writers. @HembreeSprings @nancy_lahey @ErskineWilsonAP @FultonCoSchools @EsolFulton @BeGladTraining
