I love this as a general rule of thumb to live by and to teach my children:

@SirakisVivian @NHPRoadSchool @NHPGCP @ManorOaksNHPGCP What an amazing day with outstanding teachers! ❤️

Three bingo winners to kick off our Grade 3 Fundations training! A great start to the day with our amazing Grade 3 team! 🎉👏🥰 #proud2Bnhpgcp @NHPRoadSchool @NHPGCP @ManorOaksNHPGCP

@msandradesroom @teamhillside @NHPGCP 👏🙌

I loved seeing students use our “Words of the Week” to help them list more words with the prefix “un”🐾 #proud2bnhphcp @Ddinamaria @teamhillside @NHPGCP

@msandradesroom @teamhillside @NHPGCP Always a pleasure to work with you & your students in your amazing classroom. They did a great job! 👏

Thank you Mrs. Marro for coming into 4A to teach us morphology! Students loved breaking into pairs to brainstorm words with the prefix “un”☺️ #proud2bnhpgcp @Ddinamaria @teamhillside @NHPGCP

@guzman_edu1 @NHPGCP I love your classroom and the wonderful learning community that you’ve created! It was a pleasure to be part of it. ❤️

A big thank you to @Ddinamaria for joining #5GVGCP today and teaching us all about mood and tone! We learned so much!🤩📖 #proud2bnhpgcp @NHPGCP

Sometimes I’m struck by how different the world is now from when I was growing up. Like, this morning when this song came on I thought, “That wouldn’t even be a probable story today… their faces would be buried in their phones instead…” 😔

@mattdelapena @LMReadWrite Did you notice the Patchwork love amidst the LOVE love? 💛💗

@Ddinamaria @LMReadWrite This is amazing!!!

I won this poster from the @LMReadWrite Final Stretch Conference & couldn’t wait to bring it to my room. Once I got here, I was met with this pile of LOVE! So much LOVE in the form of words on each page & LOVE in this kind act of a teacher who modeled how to LOVE for her class.❤️

Thank you, Literacy Matters, for an amazing “Final Stretch” conference. The day was packed with ideas & inspiration, and I loved getting to know @lauravseeger and her process for creating such dynamic and rich texts. Forever grateful for all that you do! 📚📖📓✍️✏️❤️

Media literacy is SO important, now more than ever before. instagram.com/reel/C7EzLtrPs…

Super psyched to have earned my badge! Thank you, @newpaltz ❤️ newpaltz.edu/science-of-rea…

Students were focused, engaged, & driven when hunting for words with vowel teams around the room. The depth of discussion & understanding during our share/sort/syllable identification rendered a whole new level of excitement & “ah-ha” moments. I love this work. ❤️#proud2bnhpgcp

Thanks to the @newpaltz Microcredentials in SoR Fundamentals course for reminding me of the power of teaching students about “shades of meaning” & for examples of sorting words on a “meaning gradient” to help deepen students’ understanding & use of vocabulary. ❤️#proud2bnhpgcp

Writers used the QFT (Question Formulation Technique) w/partners to generate as many questions as they could on their topics. Not only did this help them to think deeper and plan for next steps, but the engagement was off the charts! Two heads are better than one! #proud2bnhpgcp

Educators, New Paltz is offering an online Science of Reading/microcredential course focused on Five Pillars of Reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, & comprehension. 35 CTLE hours (2 credits), asynchronous, w/6 mos to complete. $50! newpaltz.edu/science-of-rea…

While we find ourselves in this liminal space where reading instruction is evolving & upper grade assessments are being evaluated & reconsidered, I am really proud of the work our district is doing looking "Beyond the Level" to identify needs & target instruction. #proud2bnhpgcp

@MsLeeds_ @teamhillside @NHPGCP Love this so much, Sophie!

Today we were challenged with a nonfiction text structure escape room! We looked at texts to determine which text structure it had and cracked codes to give us our answers. We have some masterminds in here! 📚🔍 #proud2Bnhpgcp @teamhillside @NHPGCP
