Over 30 original & creative Lego #buildtogive hearts from our students over the past few weeks, excited to help donate Legos to kids!

@sshubitz No, not about a number per se, but your quote just spoke to me about the importance of taking time to get to know Ss well and making those connections. Thank you for all of your ideas!!

@C_higg Do you recall if he said that or if it’s in one of his books? I was actually looking for this recently, but couldn’t recall where he said it.

@mandyrobek @frankisibberson @LitConnectionOH @AnnieTWard Very true!

A4: I love the idea of constantly book matching, it makes me think of this quote I love from Steven Layne #litconnOH

My Ss were excited to see the new stack of books I brought back too! We read Wonder today and tomorrow is K. Alexander’s How to Read a Book! #litconnOH

@mandyrobek That’s awesome! And I’m looking forward to trying the preview stacks!

A2: We also revamped our library a bit @mandyrobek but it’s not done yet! #litconnOH

@mandyrobek Or just focused on strategies and skills!

A1: Just love the reminder that volume (access, choice, and time) need to be in the forefront for Ss success in literacy. #litconnOH

Carrie here from Hilliard, OH 2nd grade teacher. It was a great day with @AnnieTWard! #litconnOH

@Fabletics I ordered leggings and never even signed up for a membership and was charged. It was probably in some fine print. So disappointed in this company.

Want students to remember something? Ask them to draw it! Research shows that drawing boosts learning by forcing us to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and linguistically.

When we find a way for everyone to enter, we level the playing field for students. Personalization = choice and flexibility, not a program. #litconn2019 @KristinZiemke

@BaileyJodie @SteveWyborney Agreed! They have helped my Ss with adding and subtracting and they LOVE whenever our number routines involve estimation activities.

@C_higg 32 is exactly right! #octmchat

My daughter says 32 for glass 4 bc it’s smaller than glass 1 and bigger than glass 2 #octmchat
