@ReadingShanahan Thank you for this post. I’m excited to read your new book. What are your thoughts on supporting EL learners who lack literacy in their native language in complex text in grades 4-5? The tier 2 and 3 intervention time in ELA just doesn’t seem enough to support their needs.

So proud of all these spellers and their performances in the second annual Carlin Springs Spelling Bee yesterday! Congrats to our winner, Aya Jennane! @APSVirginia @apscspr @APSLiteracy

❄️A fresh snow fall is the perfect excuse to get outside and play! ⛄ Our North American river otters Emmett and Potomac spent their snow day with lots of digging, rolling and sliding in the snow, before taking a dip in their pool. How did you spend your #SnowDay?

Thank you to our amazing PTA and family volunteers for getting up early and cooking our staff a delicious, celebratory holiday breakfast this morning!

Winter break is approaching...

@Robert7News reading to Ms. Theasmeyer’s 4th grade class was the best! He shared that as a news anchor, his job is to read all day, every day! Lots of other topics were discussed, including soccer, music, and using our voices! @APSVirginia @apscspr @APSLiteracy

The last day of our 5th grade Reading SOL club ended with a digital breakout room! They all “broke out” and proved that they are strong readers! @MFloresADM @apscspr @Carlin_Springs

State tests may be boring, but a GLOW DAY to highlight text evidence is definitely not! @MFloresADM @APSVirginia @Carlin_Springs @apscspr

5th graders had so much fun today “operating on texts” during our Reading SOL club! @MFloresADM @apscspr @APSVirginia
