Desk slips are an absolute must!
We’ve learned a lot together over the years @SBergantz - one of the most important is to always have desk slippers🥿💕 Thank you for these as I settle into my new space.

Just chatted with a 4th grade reader who was using “sketchnotes” to help remember the characters and plot. Wow did it work - they included so many key details while telling me about the story! #LPSHawks @SBergantz

Protect your independent reading time during your Readers Workshop! Remember that students at the 90th percentile may read as many words in three days as the child at the 10th percentile reads in an entire year outside of school! (Anderson et al., 1988).

You can call it going against the grain or marching to the beat of your own drum. Either way, it’s reassuring, confirming and comforting knowing that your path is YOUR path and that should be the norm. @theellenshow

This is gorgeous work!
Our hallways should celebrate our mantras! 3-5 teachers know this at @PS76Q! Celebrating process over product! #tcrwp
