Amazing work, first grade!!!
Amazing growth by all the writers in Downers Grove. Way to go!!
Loved displaying our students’ writing during Open House! I am so proud of the growth I have seen this year! Way to go Bobcats! #dg58pride #dg58dualpride
A great way to learn Memoir Writing- studying artwork and zooming in on the best parts.
👏🏻👏🏻 @MsMatson58 even read the Spanish parts in today’s writing mentor text: Family Pictures/Cuadros de Familia! Impressive! #dg58pride #fa58share
Such amazing authors!
I’m going to miss working with this class so much! We had a great time during the @Schoolwide FUNctional Writing unit. Students set goals, created various writing pieces, sent persuasive letters in the mail, & made our own Jolly Postman book! #dg58pride #pufferpride
Amazing!
In our functional writing unit Kdg. will be writing a persuasive letter to our parents. We wrote a class letter to our librarian @cforzley. We hope she will write back letting us know if we have persuaded her to let us check out two books each week. #dg58pride #LEchoosesHAPPY
I’m so impressed! Hope you noticed lots of details!
Gallery walk to admire the details our classmates put into their letter illustrations today! @Schoolwide #dg58pride #pufferpride
So impressed! You are all such special writers!!

#WEBINAR 💡 How do we inspire students to see themselves as writers? How do we surround students with examples and experiences that enrich their writing process, so they can grow as authors and writers?

You are assuming kids can’t learn how to read with these resources? Perhaps you should consider a broader lens that defines cultivating thoughtful readers instead of a myopic lens defining readers through creating decoders. You only did half of your research.
All students in the @troyschools have the right to learn how to read. My pleas have gone unanswered and the Troy School District continues to use Lucy Calkins, Fountas & Pinnell and Reading Recovery. Inspired by @ehanford in Sold a Story., we will speak and march! #soldastory
So I suppose intonation, expression, thinking aloud, metacognition, unpacking vocabulary, honoring and building background knowledge aren’t important? Maybe before posting something like this you should think about responsive teaching and educating ALL learners!
Perhaps it’s semantics. When using true gradual release, this portion of a lit. block may also be referred to as ind. practice which encompasses small group work, partnerships, ind rdg, writing about reading, etc. This allows for responsive instructional decision making for all.
I don’t agree with this. There are so many reading behaviors that can be observed through RR, and the small group structure of GR allows for explicit prompting/teaching into text characteristics and strategic actions. Where is the comprehension focus on ISBE?

Way to go Kindergarten authors!!!
CONGRATS to all of my little authors who presented in my classroom today for our PUBLISHING PARTY! I'm so proud of your accomplishments! #dg58learns #dg58pride #ilovewhittier
I appreciate this post & recording as they once again reinforce the importance of research, which is a huge problem with all of the SOR posts-they lack relevant and current research and seem to include bias rather than balance.
Scanlon- Neither theory or research supports the heavy emphasis on phonics instruction nor the opposition to the use of contextual information. youtube.com/watch?v=qeIpd1mb…
