@casas_jimmy Come to the Finger Lakes, Jimmy. Canandaigua, Keuka, Skaneateles, or even Silver Lake. Beautiful water, great fishing, family atmosphere, wine tours, drive in movies, lots of fun. Message me if you need guidance.

My Twitter friends. Looking for a beautiful vacation spot with a lake for a family fishing trip. Prefer quiet over big, busy lakes. Would love your recommendations for a lake house to rent to spend time with family.

“School choice” is the ultimate example of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

BREAKING: Ten days after North Dakota Republicans voted against providing free lunch to hungry low-income students they pass legislation to give themselves free money to pay for their own meals — meaning they are literally taking food out of the mouths of children to save themselves a few bucks.

If you’re a kindergarten teacher who used Acadience for beginning of year screening & had students below benchmark in First Sound Fluency (FSF), I’m happy to share a doc with ideas for small group/1:1 targeted work. Reply & I will DM link (may need to be following me).

@Katiemc827 I go on Monday.

@GuidingLiteracy @JoAnneGross1 @mandercorn @MaryanneWolf_ @jillbarshay Exactly. OG is SL. I don’t understand why people say otherwise. Does multi sensory make the waters murky?

@melyons14 @JoAnneGross1 @mandercorn @MaryanneWolf_ @jillbarshay Mary, agree. I have commented similarly and that at the end of the day OG is SL (IDA uses umbrella term) I also don’t understand the MS focus on shaving cream when really I found OG to be more about multiple modalities which SL promotes. Would love more research.

“We don’t need emphasis on ‘multisensory’; we need emphasis on being explicit, systematic and after all of the components of language in our interventions.” --@MaryanneWolf_ Via a sharp and insightful piece by @jillbarshay hechingerreport.org/proof-points-l…

@JoAnneGross1 @mandercorn @MaryanneWolf_ @jillbarshay Multi-sensory is one piece of OG.

@JoAnneGross1 @mandercorn @MaryanneWolf_ @jillbarshay I find it interesting that there are very few reliable studies on OG. That was my biggest take-away from the article. Basically saying multi sensory instruction doesn’t work, when there are no reliable studies. I have been practicing OG principles for over 20 years.
