“If you are going to get anywhere in life you have to read a lot of books.” #ReadABookDay

Making instruction accessible to ALL students #accommodation

It’s my birthday and to celebrate, I’m giving away 5 copies of FRONT DESK!!! Listen to this clip of me talking about what a difference teachers and librarians have made in my life and RT for a chance to win a signed copy of FRONT DESK!

@VHEWLibrary 💗💗💗

“Readers are Leaders” Enjoyed being in Mrs. Kelley’s 1st grade class & seeing her students so excited about reading!

#Coteaching is more than 2 teachers in a room. It's: ➡️Sharing individual expertise to create an improved learning environment for ALL students. ➡️Mutual ownership & joint accountability of OUR students. ➡️Growing & learning together to meet student needs. ...and it WORKS!

@VHEWLibrary You’re the best!!!

@Toppel_ELD @AndreaHonigsfel @MariaGDove Not yet! But I’ll be adding it to my summer reading!! Thanks for the help!

@Toppel_ELD Following... I’ll be co-teaching next year for the majority of my school day & it will be a new experience for all of us!

End of the year animal reports are a huge hit! So impressed with how much they have grown as readers this year!

3rd grade researchers hard at work reading & taking notes about their animals! Using @EpicKidsBooks to help differentiate their reading levels & topics!

Building words with Playdough during our word work! Great hands-on for my tactile/kinesthetic learners!

My 2nd graders have loved comparing & contrasting fairy tales. I’ve loved hearing the deep conversations they have had over the lessons/themes found in each book!

These Kindergarteners did some great reading & talking about how a flower grows. Then they sequenced pictures to match what they learned!

It’s book fair week & this student couldn’t have been more excited to show me her purchases!

"Understanding begins when judgment is withheld." When we lay down our knee-jerk perceptions of each other and make an effort to empathize, a path to reconciliation opens. Let's be willing to walk in someone else's shoes. Empathy is powerful! #SolomonSeries #YearOfReconciliation

Hands-on Science with #RussellsMuscles today since the crayfish arrived! We have some brave students! #vhew #LoveTeaching
