Thanks for the suggestions!
One of my reading goals for this year was to deepen my knowledge of #graphicnovels: a genre I appreciated for the way they hooked the readers I worked with but didn't think I personally loved. I was wrong. I love graphic novels. And I can't wait to spend today diving into these.

Who’s Doing the Work? The Prompting Funnel-Empowering students first. @lovtoteach @mswilsonsclass @WatersWanda @MarthaReadmj @studebaker_sara @BurkinsandYaris
Love this hierarchy of prompts to use when helping students read. 1.Look to self 2. Look to text 3. Look to teacher @BurkinsandYaris #WeAreD34
Just finished Front Desk by @kellyyanghk Loved the strong female lead character...her spunk, her grit, her creativity, and her values are an inspiration. Great content to spur discussion with kids! #globalreadaloud2019
DREAMS. DO. COME. TRUE. My heart is bursting—I want to thank the committee members of @ala_apala for recognizing immigrants, diversity and hope!!! Thank you to the librarians of this country who put a shiny award sticker on ALL books all day by recommending them to kids!

Yes Yes Yes...harvesting words from authentic texts first then pulling these words out for study. This prioritizes meaning and follows up with letter sound work using words that are grounded in the books kids are reading. Thanks for the article @LRobbTeacher !

Love this authentic task for readers, writers, and creators!
Had my students make Netflix book series based on a book they love. Gave minimal direction and said the one that looked the most like Netflix in each class would win. Here are a few to show off what they accomplished in just two classes the last week of school!! @BAM_MS_Official
Loving @BurkinsandYaris book #WhosDoingTheWork Chapter 2 - Read Aloud: Giving Students a Reason to Learn to Read. Who wants a summer book study?
