6th graders: Mrs. Komp! Look how messy MY writing is! Can you tell was thinking? 🥹 The revision process is messy, and we fully embrace that in this classroom! @TeachersCollege #UnitsofStudy #WritersWorkshop

Reading our narratives outside with treats. Three of my favorite things! 😍These 6th graders worked so hard on their personal narratives, and we had a blast celebrating them today! 🎉 @TeachersCollege #UnitsofStudy #WritersWorkshop

Wrapping up our phonics unit with a little friendly competition to see who can make the most words using certain letters! #unitsofstudy #tcrwp #firstgrade

Loved reading my book with my own #kindergarten class for #unitsofstudy #tcrwp #kidlit #teacherauthor

The push for new reading curriculum is underway in River Forest & the school district is listening, hosting a Lit Forum to educate & hear parent concerns. Full story @OakPark oakpark.com/2023/12/08/d90… #readingcurriculum #unitsofstudy #phonics #education #LucyCalkins

Working hard on SILENT E! 🪄 #rugclubs #unitsofstudy #phonics

COVID + the literacy crisis are capitalist nightmares that are harming children and teachers. You’d hope the “invisible hand” of economics would weed out harmful curriculum... We have known #unitsofstudy and #fountasandpinnell have been harmful and not evidenced based for YEARS.

These 2nd graders used @AppleEDU Clips 🎦 to publish their #unitsofstudy writing. 🙌 They created book awards 🏆 and then wrote about why their chosen book 📕 would receive their award 🥇. #AppleEDUchat

Loved watching these 5th graders publish their Favorite Place opinion writing using @WriteReaderApp. 😍 The collaboration as they helped each other edit their books to be printed & displayed at @BillingsLibrary 📚 was awesome! 🙌🏻 #CreativeLiteracy #UnitsofStudy

These kinder & 1st graders wrote book reviews & published in @WriteReaderApp to encourage friends to read their fave 📚. 💕 app.writereader.com/library/room/c… 💙 app.writereader.com/library/room/4… 💜 app.writereader.com/library/room/9… ❤️ app.writereader.com/library/room/3… #WeLovetoRead #UnitsofStudy

We graduated today in our classroom with vowel power! #unitsofstudy #phonics #teacherlife instagram.com/p/CqY6cjKuGV0/…

As people view their printed books on display at the library, they'll also be able to scan the QR code on the flyer to view & listen to a digital version of their books on @WriteReaderApp. 😍 app.writereader.com/library/room/c… #CreativeLiteracy #UnitsofStudy #BookReviews

🚧 🏗️ Today our 1st Grade Construction Crew was busy building “Vowel Town” to finish up their unit on vowel teams. #mylanpatriots #unitsofstudy @monongalia_co @wveducation

The AIR study of @tcrwp #unitsofstudy was disappointing. Small effects with a cherry-picked sample. The findings don’t apply to the vast majority of schools (who don’t receive annual Lucy PD). No compelling reason why schools should have been booted from the analysis.

Today we shared our collections and our “Best in Show” writing pieces. #tcrwp #unitsofstudy @haddonES1 @HaddonSchools

Just read some student writing where they shared their own opinions using their personal collections! It's inspiring to see young minds exploring their interests and developing critical thinking skills. #unitsofstudy #StudentVoices #CriticalThinking #writingreviews #tcrwp
