Kari Pitstick (@MissPitstick) Winter Break Bingo! As an ELA teacher, I incorporated reading, writing, & speaking/listening. I’m sure most kids will go home tomorrow & not touch their backpack until January 8, 2024. Even if a couple do this who wouldn’t have done these things otherwise, that’s a W in my book. https://t.co/NttWGfijJu (https://x.com/MissPitstick/status/1737301123021619493?t=E7wI5TWoD4E25DheWpGEPw&s=03)
Nathan McAlister (@NHTOYMc) If we want to improve Reading scores in Elementary classrooms we must improve and strengthen Social Studies skills and literacies. Literacy doesn’t have one lane or one strand, it has many. Strengthen a students literacy in multiple disciplines and the scores will follow. https://t.co/ileJ6OlZlE(https://x.com/NHTOYMc/status/1737802290558316616?t=JqVbK53uQAQHKX0TT2_BLA&s=03)
