“The challenge wasn’t following a script. It was understanding the instructional purpose behind each lesson and knowing how to respond to student thinking in the moment. “Students engaged with richer vocabulary, more complex questions, and grade-level texts from the start”.

What a great start to a new school year at Tools4Schools! The doors opened at 1 PM, and @WCPSS teachers are already filling their carts with FREE classroom supplies to help make sure their students have what they need to learn and succeed. This is what all those supply drives, donations, volunteer hours and community partnerships have been building toward. Every notebook, pencil, marker and classroom essential that leaves our shelves today is one less thing a teacher has to purchase out of their own pocket. And opening day has been a celebration! We’ve loved welcoming teachers along with some special friends and community partners helping us kick off the year. ❤️ But opening day is just the beginning. Thousands of teachers will shop at Tools4Schools throughout the school year, and we need our community’s help to keep these shelves stocked. Donate supplies or make a financial gift and help us keep Tools4Schools going strong all year long: Support Tools4Schools Strong Public Schools. Stronger Wake County. #Tools4Schools #WakeEd #BackToSchool
