Sentence-level instruction doesn't have to be a standalone lesson. I embed grammar/syntax instruction directly into reading lessons with "gist statements" after reading a text. 1/4

⭐️📝 Writing is alive in our hallways and classrooms! Students are proudly sharing their voices through displayed work and the Author’s Chair-where every story matters and every writer shines. One proud literacy coach!❤️ @HelloAlexElle @MrsAlhadeff @FultonZone5 @everychildreads

Ms. Lenox crushed it! 💥 She modeled the sentence dictation routine step-by-step, then actively monitored during the You Do phase—pen in hand, reinforcing foundational writing skills with sharp feedback and clear instruction. A masterclass in teaching! 👏✍️ @FultonCoSchools

Data PLCs are off to an amazing start! When teachers come together to analyze student data, we move from numbers ➡️ next steps. It’s going to be a magical year! @MrsAlhadeff @FultonZone5 @HelloAlexElle @ecurrier91

Outstanding!! One thing about it, children who walk through the doors of Vickery Mill grow leaps & bounds!

This is how SKILL GROUPS are done. The top down commitment is appreciated. I look forward to our students climbing to new heights. 💙

Climb Time is here! ⛰️ Today’s PD prepared us to launch skill gap reading groups that will help every student reach new heights in literacy. #NoExcuses @EJJaguars @HelloAlexElle @MsBoydEJES @lawalker_teach

📚 Today, zone 5 literacy coaches united for a powerful half-day training session—collaborating, learning, and leading the charge to elevate literacy across our schools. When great minds come together, students win. They are ready for 1/2 PD with teachers! #LiteracyLeadership

Low-performing schools often juggle too many projects/programs—and too few that actually matter. Focusing on improving the metric that matters most can drive real change. But fear of politics, tradeoffs, and tough conversations keeps the overload going, quietly killing momentum.

We are ready to knock the Milestones out of the park! Our pep rally last week included motivating cheers, test taking strategy trivia, and a fun relay race. Let’s rock the test 3rd, 4th, and 5th @EJJaguars! @MsBoydEJES @lawalker_teach @Stafford_EJAP

I am so proud of these @vickerymill kindergarten-2nd grade 🦉 for reaching 80% of their iReady stretch growth in reading and/or math. Amazing! 💙💚💙@FultonZone5 @FultonCoSchools @Sara4fcs

3-5 jaguars are pumped up for Milestones testing thanks to @lawalker_teach and the awesome pep rally she planned!!!! Even the Centennial High football players came out to cheer them on! 🐾💙🏈 @EJJaguars @MsBoydEJES

A writing lesson full of everything it needed for student success! Engagement, modeling, practice, independent work and small groups! I love seeing students so passionate about their writing topic in opinion writing! ✏️ @RiverEves @HelloAlexElle

… THIS is what it’s all about! 💙 Way to build writer identity and continuously expand participation as an active producer of texts. [K-12.P.EICC.1] #NewELAStandardsInEffect

I saw in Ms. Farr's lesson plans that she was going to be doing a lesson on conclusions. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to the lesson, so we recorded it. Thank goodness we did! It was an amazing lesson full of student engagement & conclusion writing practice! ✏️ @HelloAlexElle

Meet Shanchea Simmons Harris our FCS Champ of the day! And, HBD!

3rd grade writers in Mrs. Schechter’s class completed conclusions and then hopped around the room for an editing checklist! I love the strategy of reading their writing backwards to find errors! @RiverEves @HelloAlexElle 🦅 ✏️
