⏱ FLUENCY TIP⁠
A really great way to have students practice fluency drills is to pair them off. Have one be the timer and the other run through the word list and then trade off. Have them track how many words were read. Students who are able to do this can even graph their own data to see their progress.⁠

This is Pat Mirenda (who if you have never heard her speak, go see her if you can) and her take on behavior support. And it's so true. Sometimes we need to take a step back and take small steps in order to make bigger steps.⁠
⁠

⁠
YES! we teach them to Get. Out. Of. Work. So we can teach them to work without having problems. Short-term compromises for long-term gains.⁠

This is probably one of my best tips for the beginning of school. "Create a big set of activities for students to engage with during the day that you can pull out if you have downtime.

Make them simpler than you think the kids need so that they can be more independent with them.?⁠

It means the world to me when something that I've created helps a teacher in their classroom and makes their life easier. 💕⁠
⁠
This review warmed my heart because I know how daunting the task of working with and building a classroom team can be, especially if you are a newer teacher, or just walking into a new situation.⁠
