Spent some time in @AllisonKolarich today @AldenIntSchool. They have been learning about big cats with @CollabClassroom and had some more questions. We used @GetSchoolAI and created a bot to answer some of our questions as a big cat expert. @AldenCSD

First grade students at Loveland Primary School in Loveland, OH were hard at work during Being a Writer last week! Inspired by their mentor text, they wrote sentences about animals they loved. #beingawriter @CollabClassroom

I had the privilege of observing @CollabClassroom 's Being a Reader and Being a Writer in action yesterday @ayerelementary. 2nd grade Students were passionately writing down their "wonders" about a new bf book on The Golden Gate Bridge. 4th grade students were filling pages in their writers notebook and hanging on the edge of their seats as they listened to a story that included time travel and baby dragons! @ayerelementary

This writer realized she was a writer long ago in elementary classrooms led by invested teachers. I get goosebumps thinking of students owning that same identity with Being a Writer by @CollabClassroom ! #BringingWritingtoLife – at Colorado, USA
It's a full house today in Waltham, MA as educators gather to discuss the essential components of effective writing instruction! #BringingWritingToLife
