@melbrethour @LindsayKemeny @Scholastic @ONlit_social @UFLiteracy @ReallyGreatRead @IDA_Ontario @IAReading I would love to be directed to the word chain resource. Thank you!

I presented to a room full of passionate teachers eager to better support their students. In my presentations, I strive to bridge research and practice — sharing evidence-based and practical strategies so teachers can make meaningful shifts in their classrooms. #PD

@avivaloca Thank you!

@martz_mimi No problem! I’ll DM you the link.

So proud of this kindergarten student. We started weeks ago looking more at the first sound in words. Now she’s reading words. Love seeing her growing confidence with blending and reading! ❤️

@jennivanrees I’m in!!

I have so many books I need/want to read this summer… but The Writing Revolution is at the top. Anyone looking to do a book study with me? Love some company and discussion as I go through it! : )

@ChrisRhoda @jennivanrees @IDA_Ontario Congratulations!!!’

@jennivanrees @IDA_Ontario Congratulations! Well deserved. Thanks for sharing your learning.

Feeling so honoured to be one of the recipients of the Literacy Leader of the Year Award @IDA_Ontario ❤️

📢 📢📢We have two new episodes of Sold a Story coming... The first one drops this Thursday, April 4. 🎧🎧🎧 features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/

@dave__whiteside @parents Try throwing them at a patio door/window. The fun is next level!

An important PSA for @parents: These are Squigz. They are fun little suction cups and my daughter loves them. As a fun parent, you might think “I wonder how well these would stick to my forehead?” So you’ll try it, they’ll stick, and your child will just beam pulling them off.

@jennivanrees @ONlit_social Ooooo, good for primary?

Reading the next chapter of Next STEPS to prepare for @ONlit_social book study tomorrow night and LOVING all the practice activities from early alphabetic to consolidated phases. Definitely a book worth having in your collection! ❤️

@MissPeister I would love this template please!

Grade 1 Authors this week as we wrote snowman stories. I was blown away by all their ideas and all the words written #growth

@jennivanrees Amazing! What does the C stand for?

My mom found my 1st term JK report card. 36 years later and most comments can still be said about me now…. 😂

@Mrs_Mousseau Do you have a doc with the short vowel word families? I really like that chart. Thank you!

Today we reviewed our short vowel word families. This will help us as we go to decode words using the new digraphs learned in small group.

@MissPeister Love this!!

Over 30 sentences of Grade 1 awesomeness! Mixed up sentences on desks, Ss read and rewrote the sentence in an order to make sense. We LOVE using sticky notes!

@MrsHunter_OAK @MissPeister I would love a copy too please!

@MissPeister Could you share this template (glue the words/write the words)?

We continue to focus on sentence writing. This week I made mixed up sentences they had to cut apart and then put in an order that made sense. We practised writing the sentence below! They did awesome! We have also started shared writing with our UFLI sentences!

@MrsM_vanderveen So grateful to learn from you!!

@ESL_fairy @LearnWithRoshi Very helpful, thank you! Do you have more social stories?

Here's a social story to support other students in the class when a peer is having a meltdown and is throwing objects. Translations on the last page: Arabic, Farsi, Korean, Punjabi, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese. docs.google.com/document/d/1Sv… #OntEd @LearnWithRoshi
