My newest book. Out 5/31/22. RT/Like to enter and win a signed ARC. I'm only giving away one--and the book will have a SECRET note inside about a few of my future projects. Good luck!
So, so powerful!!!! 💛💛💛 Yes!
Great educators don’t see students as they are, their vision sees them as they can be! #edChat #seeTheFuture #growthMindset #whatWeDoMatters #students #vision

Occasionally, I see little treasures fall out of the pages of books that have been read. Here are two keepsakes found this week. They will be returned, so the students can continue to hold onto these powerful words! #teachersarerockstars #moreofthis @SmyrnaMiddle @SmyrnaElem_TN

#PantherPride This whole thread is worth a read.
Wrapping up our first unit before Fall Break! 🧵of thoughts and some great work from my 8th graders below! Just sharing a few items I documented along the way along with some random thoughts.
Finally, just want to say I believe in this generation so much. If you could see the academic discussions I see some days, you would understand why I can say that so confidently. Glimpses of hope are all over a middle school. They have big dreams and they deserve the chance 🤍
I love the attention to the hook and the focus of the second piece. I can see the intention to slow down, show not tell, use sensory details, and ultimately create a tone. All techniques we studied through mentor texts and reading standards.
So, check out this writing from week one compared to a more recent writing. Notice the attention to focusing on one moment. Both narratives, but the second prompt was asking students to tell a story they had read through a different character’s point of view.
I am making a serious effort this year to reflect and have my students reflect on their growth. I could spend time worrying about how far we need to go but I am choosing today to celebrate how far we’ve come in 9 weeks.
