If you approach this work thinking my Ss can’t, they prob won’t - then they can’t. They won’t. But if you teach them as writers even before they are, if you’re public and clear in your certainty that they will love wrtg, they will. Your expectation becomes their ceiling. #tcrwp

Ask me about my leaf picture! We read Leaf Man, labeled things about leaves, collected our own on a nature walk, made our own picutre, & then wrote a sentence about it using at least 2 trick words. @MsFoster_RBPS @rbpsEAGLES #RBBisBIA

For the month of November, we’re co-authoring a Thankful List Poem during morning meeting using interactive writing. Ask me what I’ll add to our poem & stop by room 403 to read it! @MsFoster_RBPS @rbpsEAGLES #RBBisBIA

Ask me how I’m feeling about Halloween! For our circle greeting this morning, we shared how we were feeling and then asked the next person, “How are you feeling ___?” Many have mixed feelings - excited & nervous! Knowing how we feel can help us support one another. #RBBisBIA

Yesterday we had some negative self-talk about a design challenge in science. So for today’s morning meeting, Ss brainstormed optimistic things we can say when approaching hard tasks. We kept them close today during science to remind ourselves of how to be optimistic. #RBBisBIA
We’ve been thinking about persistence & optimism this week! Today we read The Bright Side and then shared self-talk we can use to help us take a more persistent or optimistic stance. @MsFoster_RBPS @rbpsEAGLES #RBBisBIA

Today we did observational drawings of our cucumbers! We used what we’ve been practicing in science to draw the cucumber outside and inside and then talked about words to describe it. We were fans - some ate down to the tiniest stem! @NurseReardon #FFVatRBPS #RBBisBIA

Kids get better at reading through...lots of reading. https://t.co/rzyj9dVKGf Why does this fact continue to come in and out of vogue?

Although there have been a substantial number of research studies focused on improving the field’s understanding of the development of the ability to read, very few of these studies have accounted...

On our first walking trip to Bellhaven today, the Primary School’s environment really showed up and showed off. We rescued a baby turtle and took it to the nesting site, saw an eagle circling (Stormy for sure), seagulls in the river, and more. @MsFoster_RBPS @rbpsEAGLES #RBBisBIA

Thank you @rbps_pto @ChartwellsK12 @NurseReardon @rbbea1 for the Farmers Market and Pumpkin Patch this morning! We were so excited to buy fruits and veggies and pick the perfect pumpkin. 🎃 The best morning! @MsFoster_RBPS @rbpsEAGLES #RBBisBIA
Ask me about what I can buy with 4 coins at the farmers market tomorrow! We practiced finding number sentences that had a sum of 4 to get ready. Some of us want just fruit, & others want to buy as many things as possible! @NurseReardon @ChartwellsK12 @rbpsEAGLES #RBBisBIA

Ask me about how a scientist uses their 🖐🏼 senses! We read about them and then took a nature walk and used pictures to record something we saw, felt, heard, and smelled. @MsFoster_RBPS @rbpsEAGLES #RBBisBIA
