“We are concerned about the chilling effect placed on classrooms and schools, impacting our ability to provide safe, caring and inclusive spaces for all students.'

Wonder Word Wednesday: Build a sense of wonder & excitement about vocabulary! It can be topic-specific by using words like ‘magma’ or ‘supernova’ or it can be precise language, like chilly, cold, freezing or frigid. And it can be done in all languages! #CBELiteracy #WeAreCBE

Talking Tuesday: Conversation is essential to literacy & critical thinking development. This is true regardless of the language spoken. Including talk during viewing, reading, writing & play. Curiosity & open-ended questions are key to deepen discussion. #CBELiteracy #WeAreCBE

Messaging Making Monday: Communicating through written messages is a gift we share with our children – writing is our thoughts made visible to others. This can be done through writing & drawing and is often most powerful when we intentionally combine them. #WeAreCBE #CBELiteracy

Story Telling Saturday: Stories connect us; when we tell them, when we hear them & when we share them together-a beautiful way to begin Family Literacy Week. The sense of connection & community helps stories build confidence and encourages creativity. #CBELiteracy #WeAreCBE

January 27 is Family Literacy Day! Over the next 9 days #CBELiteracy will share knowledge, ideas & resources to support key areas of literacy development that can be used at home or school all year long. Please check back each day to learn & share along with #WeAreCBE

Just received a great suggestion from teacher Jen U. to make our #PrimeClimb color chart available with no guidelines to tell you how many factors each number has. She also adapted it!

Now both versions are available at mathforlove.com/lesson/prime-c…

To my kids today:

“I will never ask you to work on my class away from my class.

But, in my class, I need you to be present—attentive and active.

And then, when it’s over, it’s over.

You can’t be present in the rest of your life if you’re living in the past of my class.”

We must all try to empathize before we criticize. Ask someone what's wrong before telling them they are wrong.

There’s no better reminder for the start of a school year…

Nature is amazing!
A camera recorded from start to finish how a bird built its nest and had its chicks.

Which one could be the odd one out? Why?

Think about the conversations that will come from this Open Middle problem from Kate Nowak, Bowen Kerins 🔗, and Graham Fletcher. What misconceptions might come out as well?! openmiddle.com/comparing-and-… #MTBoS

Bravo, Lyndsie! Such a huge accomplishment! 🌲 👏

It's my book's birthday! TREE THIEVES has taken me around the world--into new forests, and to fancy galas. What luck I have, to be supported by such a great team. The paperback's out in August!👀📚
