So much FUN prepping for reading STAAR with the Camp BEAR Scavenger Hunt that I created. We had an inference obstacle course, context clues campfire, text feature hike, and main idea lake.

Seriously … 😛

Yesterday we came together as elementary and middle school to honor those that lost their lives and the heroes who emerged on 9/11. We will #NeverForget . ❤️🤍💙🕊@O_StephensES

How to fit connected learners into clubs? Kids find a way! When it’s a book club member’s turn to talk we use a flower to hold the floor. This is what one group decided to do to help their connected learner member out! 😁 #onlinelearning #dentonisddelivers

Our final unit, Historical Fiction Book Clubs is just the best!! These guys are so organized and work hard everyday to bring something to benefit the group’s “pot of gold” conversation. Just take a look at one of their constitutions. #tcrwp #dentonISDdelivers @HeinemannPub

YES WE DO! Happy Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week to this amazing group of individuals 🐾

Words can’t express how lucky my kiddos and I were to have such an amazing future teacher working & learning with us over the last 4 months! We will surely miss you Ms. Gaber! Congrats on graduating! 👩‍🎓

They will always remember how you treated them!

I am so honored to teach such a gifted writer and sweetheart like this. 🥺

@rperrone22 @O_StephensES @dentonisd Hilarious!

I was walking my room to confer today, and I saw so many students automatically using their story arcs and resources to create and revise their realistic fiction stories. It definitely made my day. @O_StephensES #tcrwp @HeinemannPub @LucyCalkins

@porksmith Lovin it

I always keep my library filled with books that kids WANT to devour, it’s the key to success. I have some kiddos who are dying to read the new #thebabysittersclub book!!! I can’t wait to surprise them tomorrow! This one will definitely have a wait list! 💕📚

@E_EMallory We wish you were there !

Love this!!
