Dove deeper into #translanguaging by taking another amazing Erin Kent Consulting course, looking for ideas to bring back to my colleagues. Made a connection right away to the splendid picture books that thoughtful Ceci Gomez-Galvez (she.her.ella) brought from Italy. Any book can be a #mentortext
Susan Crummel is an amazing storyteller! I love that Erica Hoyt and Prestonwood Elem brings in the best authors for their young authors and readers! 📖 #mentortext #risdWeAreOne #risdbelieves Richardson ISD Library & Information Technology RLAinRISD
It’s “Try”Day which is a little bit better than Friday because you can try a strategy from #tcrwp and go home over the weekend and reflect on the outcome #mirroringStrategy #narrativewriting #mentortext
Shoutout to Nick for visiting my Eng. 9 class today to read us his (hilarious) persuasive essay that he wrote last year about why tootsie rolls are the worst. His voice is so strong in his writing, and he brought his essay to life for us today! #MentorText

The best way to end a Friday is with first grade work—celebrating the intricacies and independence of these young writers from their smart teacher Lynelle’s use of #mentortext and #storyworkshop in her #learninglab Crestline School
There's power in poetry immersion. 5th grade writers used Tony Medina 's work as a #mentortext to compose their own pieces. Readers & writers need access to diverse text. Project LIT Community National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) #LivingPoets
Another beauty to add to my collection. Can’t wait to #booktalk for Ts & Ss. @lester_laminack my 4yr old is afraid of 🐝 and your book has filled him with wonder & awe. Now my amazon cart is filled with non-f books about bees TY #protectthehoneybees #bookcollector #mentortext
Just finished Crossover Kwame Alexander Love this book so much! Immediately ordered Booked and Rebound. Excited to have a relevant #mentortext for teaching poetry next year! Great metaphors in here! #ProjectLITBookClub

This #mentortext is the perfect opportunity to co-create understanding about how we are all connected, and how we are all responsible to one another as treaty partners. Each page of this text can be used on its own or as a collective to spark wonder, learning & joy. #treatyweek
“This is the most fun activity I’ve ever done!”, said a 10th grade student as we mapped the structures of five editorial mentor texts. Thanks Rebekah O’Dell and Allison Marchetti! #mentortext
It’s #TreatyWeek How might you continue convo’s with young Ss? Engage in uncovering Etuaptmumk - or Two-Eyed Seeing - the gift of multiple perspectives. Explore Ss wonders & allow time for Ss to build connections with the land. This #mentortext is a great place to start!
#WhenLolaVisits by Michelle Sterling is a beautiful #MentorText that could be used across all grade levels for various reasons. In #Kindergarten , we are practicing #writing our #opinion . This was a two day lesson that involved brainstorming about seasons and senses.
