What better way to celebrate this Easter Sunday than taking time to reflect on being thankful for such a good friend! What would we do without you? I feel like I could write forever about all the reasons this amazing friend has influenced my life as a mom, teacher and friend. It has been hard to keep it to just a few. Here goes. I mean that really is what is so great about her. Yes, I will say I...

As primary teachers we might use her questioning strategy to pose: Who are the characters? How do you know? And later in the year, What do we know about Piggie and Elephant? How do you know? Tuesday, September 4, 2012. New Room, New Spaces. I have moved my computers around the room to allow kids to access them throughout the day and to send the messa...

Teaching and learning with children's literacy in mind. Friday, September 13, 2013. I looked at my notebook to see which kids were on my list for conferring when I noticed Little B. His. Page had nothing written on it. While other kids had 2 -3 quick check ins, I realized I had not spent time with him. I immediately felt that ah-ha at that moment. I sat alongside him joining the other kids at the table that were writing. He shared his book called Ben Where He Goes. Saturday, September 7, 2013. Catching R...

Teaching and learning with children's literacy in mind. Saturday, October 5, 2013. The Good Ship Crocodile by J Patrick Lewis and Monique Felix. If you're looking for a new friendship book, this one may have to be it. I picked it up last weekend and read it with my students on Friday.

Teaching and learning with children's literacy in mind. Wednesday, July 18, 2012. Opening Minds #2 #cyberPD. After reading Chapter 4, "Good Job! This chapter also reminded me of another book I have read called Nuture Shock in which authors Bronson and Merryman also note the research of Dr. Dweck who summarizes "when we praise children for their intelligence; we tell them this is the name of the game, look smart, don't risk making mistakes.". Language Habits I want to Change. Language that will work better.

Teaching and learning with children's literacy in mind. Friday, September 5, 2014. I'm learning with third graders this year and beginning to get used to what makes them think, laugh and learn. It has been interesting experimenting with picture books and learning from my teammates which books may work for read aloud. To help build understanding, we jotted our thoughts about the word equal. Http:/ enjoy-embracelearning.blogspot.com/2014/09/math-monday-family-math-took-kits.html. I must pick up this book.

Teaching and learning with children's literacy in mind. Saturday, September 7, 2013. I don't know if I love the name of this routine but it is simple enough to remind kids to grab a book. On Friday, as kids wrapped up their choices during this time, I noticed a little reader, Jack, had tried to read a book that I talked up the day before. It was Hello! By Matthew Cordell. (Love Cordell and his books Trouble Gum. And my boys love the Justin Case. Thank you so much, Katie, for posting this! I would really ...
