I am back with our Pals writing. Warning: This took a full week. We made a circle map about pals then organized our ideas into a tree map using can/are, added a topic sentence and after some editing wrote our final copy. The picture melts my heart ❤️

Our school-wide academic focus this year is writing so our hallway bulletin boards are going to be utilized to display students writing. This week our writing focuses on Pals because of our Journeys story and . We used some old Scholastic Weekly Readers since our new ones won’t arrive for a few more weeks. We took a picture of each kid holding a giant pencil (sorry I had to blur faces). ✏️ I will share our writing next!

Our principal read “The Book with No Pictures” yesterday to our first graders. You could hear them laughing all the way down the hall! 😂

I love Weekly Readers! We read this one today and it was AWESOME! The digital resources the are the best. This one had an author interview and the kids loved hearing Tedd's stories and advice. We fund these each year with Donors Choose.

Love this article!

Why I Plan to Stay in Teaching Amid the flurry of "Why I'm Quitting" stories, educators who plan to teach for the rest of their careers need to speak up about why they have made that choice, says Justin Minkel.

Love sharing a piece of my little teaching world.
