Hey youcubians, I am looking for someone who can illustrate ideas well, (one of those great sketch art teachers maybe?) to work with me on a project. If interested could you share some work here? Here is one I loved:

The latest series to fly off the shelves in 4th grade is the Digusting Critters series by @EliseGravel ! Can’t wait to get more from this engaging NF series.

So true! Instead of building independence, you are reinforcing dependence.
Over-scaffolding and over-supporting any learner, whether it’s an adult learner or child learner, is a disservice. Independent learning with just-right amounts of support paves a path to equitable learning.

In the final moments of tonight's #SupperClub, @LucyCalkins shared that #TCRWP will continue these weekly gatherings next year. The applause 👏🏻 in the chat box reverberated! These conversations have renewed us all, and we all so grateful for this community.

Bookmapping is the work of planning at the page level. Once a creator has a sense of the story arc, the story must be paced across pages. Bookmapping is one strategy to accomplish this. Amazing work by @GinnyBowles & crew!
My graphic novelists are bookmapping today: the big, spread out plans that show the “big pictures” of their books. Each @Postit represents one page. 😍 @writtenbyhand @GraceChough @WilkinsonCISD

An estimation problem: Is 187 x 4 greater or less than 1000? No paper or pencil. How would you decide? Listen to two students, two different explanations. #MTBoS ListeningToLearn.com

There isnt anything better than enjoying a good poem with a friend. Fifth graders are using tools out of their poetry toolbox to enjoy and analyze poetry. @hpmsraiders @hpisdschools @TCRWP

When a teacher says, "Let's review fractions" and the entire class cheers...you know the students have an engaging teacher. @hpmsraiders @hpisdschools

I'm excited (and just a little terrified) to share my new project, my blog! writtenbyhand.org This is a space for me to continue to celebrate comic books, graphic novels, their creators and teachers!
