@MrsMCitron 4th grade knocked it out of the park this year with research!

Phenomenal writer’s celebration in 4th grade today! We had fun reading Mrs. Doak’s class research projects and sharing ours with them! #4thIsFun

Love this!

Absolutely love this article by @GraceKChoi on how to elevate storytelling as part of the writing process by inviting students to record themselves #engagement

@MattRKay This is extreme talent. Woah!

Good. God. 🥰 A story about Jimi Hendrix, told from the perspective of his guitar from one of my 10th graders. This kid SNAPPED on this!!!

So grateful to learn from @GholdyM today! Thank you to secondary literacy for this opportunity to continue to learn more. When we know better, we do better! This thread is a combination of quotes/screenshots and my thinking and processing and summarizing!

@MrsMCitron They did such a nice job! You have fostered a strong community of writers and I can’t wait to see what they create next!

We celebrated our historical fiction unit last week. These kids keep slaying new writing units. So proud of their work! #4thIsFun

4th grade feature article writing celebration! “I like seeing other people’s writing but also people can see your writing” “I like to write compliments and see people’s hard work” @teachsobelstyle @MrsMCitron @VirginiaRunES

@kassiaowedekind @SaraKugler Now that’s agency!

@SaraKugler Yes!!

We said turn and talk, but they organized THEMSELVES into a whole class conversation to discuss whose perspectives were present in the text. #criticalliteracy

Writing our own all about books deepens understanding of writing process and helps us prepare mentor texts to use with students @VirginiaRunES

It was a beautiful day for a book character parade! @VirginiaRunES

@MrsMCitron @VirginiaRunES Wow! How magical! 💗

What a great match! Crafty teacher + artistic 4th graders = AMAZING trunk for @VirginiaRunES Trunk or Treat

@kassiaowedekind Those are some powerful reflections!

I zoomed way in on these note cards of students' responses about how they felt during the hands-down conversation. Understanding students' experiences during classroom talk is so important. #HandsDownSpeakOut

@MrsMCitron Nice!! Can’t wait to read these!

What a celebration! We shared our personal essays with another 4th grade class and left them feedback. 🎉

This book… wow!! So many deep themes to discuss. Reading this will make the world a better place @JamiesonV

@Ms_Dey2 @WoodburnES @SaraKugler I definitely zoomed in on those charts, not gonna lie! 😂

Teams that anchor chart together stay together! #TogetherWeGrow @WoodburnES

Right now the work feels like where can I find and promote joy… because otherwise it doesn’t feel sustainable

Love how paper choice can promote decision making as writers… also those booklets can provide a more supportive format for story writing than loose sheets of paper

@the_mrs_carroll @LondonTowneFCPS @FCPSR5 @FCPS_TitleI Oh wow! That looks gorgeous!

The New London Towne Bookroom is open for business! So much choice for our lions! I wanted our bookroom to resemble the classroom library of my dreams- to put only the best and most engaging titles into the hands of our lions! @LondonTowneFCPS @FCPSR5 @FCPS_TitleI

First @VirginiaRunES Bookmobile of the summer is underway! 📚☀️

I was so glad to join with other authors to express my admiration, appreciation, and gratitude to teachers everywhere. We have so much to THANK YOU for this year, as we do every year. #TeacherAppreciationWeek
