@TorreyMaldonado @ChildrensLit_SU Thanks to all the wonderful authors and illustrators for sharing your experience, talent, and knowledge at SU this week. Got my books signed and can’t wait to share them with students in the fall! @LibraryGVMS @HighFlyingHawks

Thank you so much to Ridgeside K9’s trainer Taylor, and her sidekick Raleigh, for sharing with our 7th graders about the career of a dog trainer at Gainesville Middle School this morning. Thank you! @K9Ridgeside @GVMSPTO @HighFlyingHawks

Building fluency through reader’s theatre scripts on this internet outage day - going old school! #riseuphawks @LibraryGVMS @highflyinghawks

@LibraryGVMS @HighFlyingHawks @GVMSPTO Hawks rise up and read today when we kicked off our Who Was… Biography endeavor!

Mrs. Craig’s reading classes visited the library to checkout books yesterday on Day 2, and today on Day 3, we are doing a book tasting in our classroom. #riseuphawks #principalmkg #highflyinghawks @GVMSstaff @LibraryGVMS

I spy some amazing book art! @JerryCraft @AuthorLisaFipps @DanGemeinhart @meganefreeman

Hear from students across PWCS as they share what #BlackHistoryMonth means to them and acknowledge some of the many contributions Black Americans have made throughout history.

GVMS enjoyed a Read-In and Cozy Clothes Day today. 12 students were awarded prizes for winning the booktalk contest as we celebrated literacy. Branchetti’s 7th graders enjoyed the library for having the most entries. #highflyinghawks @principalmkg @GVMSPTO #gvmsstaff

It’s a great day for Cozy Reading in the Library. Congratulations to Mrs. Branchetti’s students for winning the Flipgrid Book Talk Contest. #highflyinghawks #vaasl #pwsla #pwcslibraries #positivelyPWCS

I always get asked what’s one of the key escalators to school success, my answer - literacy!!

You never truly know what a person is going through, or what kind of day they had...your first interaction can make all the difference in not only how you see someone, but how they see you. Be kind. Be open-minded. Be respectful. Make a difference, just by how you treat people.

@ms_raso Awesome!! 📖

This week we reflected on celebrating our reading progress, big and small, that we accomplished so far this year. My students' responses made this teacher's heart happy and full. ❤️ #gainesvillegetsreading

So proud of my high flying hawks! “Read like a wolf eats.” -Gary Paulsen

.@ARizzo44 with hand sanitizer at first base is so wholesome.

I’m seeing some amazing teachers post about feeling overwhelmed by the guidelines that are coming out regarding reopening. Remember, these will def impact the “how” and possibly the “what” of teaching, but your “WHY” is still burning bright! 🔥 You’ve got this!
