Oh what stinkers!!! 😆

Great idea for nature walks! The folders are only 50 cents at Target.

Practicing informal Running Records today - gotta have a lightning fast pen and sharp mind for these! 📚

So long! See you in the fall!

I’m a big fan of The Picnic and I see a lot of 50/50 during work time!

My daughters and I made Pete the Cat his favorite meal - peanut butter and banana sandwich!

At the Famous Semiannual Scholastic Warehouse BOGO sale! Oh the 📚 📖 📚 📖!!!

Reminder: kindness is free! 💕

Delivered a brand new book each to 2 of my special friends in early childhood support - these books are great for kiddos with sensory issues. One student is rough on materials and likes to mouth them (solution: Indestructibles!) and the other student is interested in books with interactive components and noises (solution: poke-a-dot!). The students are emergent readers with goals of positive book Interactions: holding, turning pages, listening, pointing, and tolerating hand-over-hand interactions. I can’t wait to see how much they love their new books! 📖 📚

I made some Word Study anchor charts today. Anyone else doing Words Their Way?

Unpacking the Units of Study Learning Progressions - difficult and important work! So much to understand “between the lines / categories.” This is definitely a great use of professional development time!
