Lucky the leprechaun destroyed our room last night. However we wrote letters as a class, so hopefully he will come back and clean up after himself. 🍀🤞🏻 #ExcellenceInMotion @NicholsSawmill

Today in one of our small groups, students practiced responding to a text using R.A.P & text evidence. They were ROCKING it. #ExcellenceInMotion @NicholsSawmill

One thing on our class mascot’s platform was a class carnival, so I made that happen today! We did carnival word races (with suffixes), played heart word bean bag toss, wrote about what carnival ride is the best, and ended the day with carnival handwriting. 🎠🎡🎢🎟️

A new study confirms that reading comprehension strategies work best if combined with background knowledge. And: the effect of 55 hours of instruction is the same as 1 hour. Kids get WAY more than 55 hrs in school. @DTWillingham More in my Forbes post: https://t.co/gnPx08JLCO
