These 5th graders are already diving into reading! Thanks @STeaching3rd and Ms. Arnoldi for inviting me in for your book tasting! It is so much fun seeing these 5th graders so excited about reading! @jentealteach @gretchkostars #onlywb

Happy First Day from Gretchko! We are looking forward to an amazing year! @gretchkostars #onlywb @wbloomfieldschl

Getting ready for the 24-25 school year with my incredible Literacy Coach team! So grateful to be on this journey with @epawlaczyk14 and @Mberman34 #onlywb

Apple Island fun with some of the best! #OnlyWB @aquinn123 @randifogel @wbloomfieldschl @gretchkostars

Team WB at JEPL! #onlywb @aquinn123 @epawlaczyk14

There is nothing more powerful than job embedded professional learning! Thx to the 1st grade team @WBSD_Dolphins for an outstanding teacher lab around small group instruction. Shout to @MissPatterson00 & Mrs. Adair for opening your doors for our learning! #onlywb @SpitzleyDoherty

Small group instruction in action in @MissPatterson00 1st grade! These Ss are working hard at building their decoding skills and applying their learning in decodable texts! Lucky kids to have Ms. Ayar also supporting Ss in literacy! #onlywb @WBSD_Dolphins @SpitzleyDoherty

Such a great way of getting Ss moving and talking. These 1st graders in Ms. Cohen’s class are moving to the music and then stopping to share with a friend about their nonfiction reading topic! What a fun and engaging way to start Reader’s Workshop! @gretchkostars #onlywb

Such a great afternoon digging into small group instruction with our K Prep students! These kdg students are continuing to develop their phonological awareness and phonics skills! Thanks Mrs. Risden for including me in the fun! @gretchkostars @jentealteach #onlywb

Huge shout out to the incredible 1st grade team &lit paras @WBSD_Dolphins who gave up their lunch to spend time together to plan for instruction using decodable texts! Grateful to work alongside these AMAZING teachers! @SpitzleyDoherty #onlywb

The kdg students in @CarolaWild room are writing up a storm! They are working on creating their own books to share with their friends. Most importantly these kids have lots of tools that can help them be the best writers they can be! @gretchkostars @jentealteach #onlywb

This made my day! Love connecting with the @WBSD_Dolphins and especially love seeing their writing! This 2nd grader wrote about my favorite topic, French Bulldogs and couldn’t wait to show me her finished story! #onlywb @SpitzleyDoherty Miss Ayers

Loved being a part of small group instruction with these 1st graders today. Super exciting to see how the students apply all their phonics knowledge when reading decodable texts.! #onlywb @SpitzleyDoherty @WBSD_Dolphins

Another great day at JEPL collaborating with my WB colleagues and educators across Oakland County! Lots of great learning happening here! #onlywb @wbloomfieldschl @epawlaczyk14 @Mberman34

Big day in 1st Grade in Ms. Dornfried’s class! These @WBSD_Dolphins just finished their final mission as word detectives and earned their badges today! Mission accomplished!! @SpitzleyDoherty #onlywb

Thanks Ms.Cohen for letting me join your students for small group instruction! These 1st graders are using their blending/segmenting skills, phonics practice with short vowels and then applying all they have learned in their decodable texts! Way to go @gretchkostars #onlywb

The kindergarten students in Ms. Grudzinski’s class are continuing to build their reading stamina as they learn what independent rdg and partner rdg looks like and sounds like during Reader’s Workshop! @WBSD_Dolphins #onlywb

Thanks Ms. Patterson for including me in your end of day launch as you send your 1st graders off as part of the WB Community. I know your Ss will be a rainbow for others & spread kindness when someone is having a gloomy day! @WBSD_Dolphins #onlywb

Getting ready for Reading Buddies @WBSD_Dolphins & Sheiko! So grateful for our AMAZING WB Community Volunteers! @BlaineMcDowell @SpitzleyDoherty @aquinn123 @Long_WBStronger @Mberman34 #onlywb

So much fun being a part of Mrs. Eovaldi and Miss Ayers Reading Buddy time @WBSD_Dolphins ! These kdg and 2nd grade Ss were so excited to get to know each other! Can’t wait to see all the fun they have together this year! #onlywb
