ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We are asking that you please DO NOT HIT THE ENTER BUTTON AT ALL WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR COMMENT with your link.

A dash is NOT good. It will lead to an embedded preview.
This month, students around the globe are participating in the April Classroom SOLSC.

Friends, I’ve had to make this post password protected. It’s a little too personal (not spicy though!).
Is there a way we can view it?
I can give people the password if they like, but not sure how to share privately.
I’d love to take a read if you feel comfortable. Could you email me the PW? My email is stacey{at}staceyshubitz{dot}com.

The cornerstone of my faith – and what fuels my love and helps me keep my sanity – is anchored in what I believe. This past Easter weekend was one in which we celebrate the essence of that what we look forward to when all things will be made perfect. Accordingly, I share this poem today. It is a wonderful reminder of His love for all https://carlambrown.wordpress.com/2021/04/06/faith-hope-love-we-can-only-imagine/

Focusing my reading/writing this week thinking about the 6 Shifts of Literacy Instruction that are shared by Jan Burkins and Kari Yates in their newest book: Shifting the Balance. I’ve been thinking a lot about the “reading wars” and this dichotomy of either this or that when teaching reading and know that whenever we operate too heavily on one side than the other we miss perspectives and it can become problematic. Here are my initial thoughts after reading the first chapter on listening comprehension: https://lovethegrey.com/2021/04/06/listening-comprehension-matters/
I gave Isabelle my blessing to get her ears pierced sometime around her fifth birthday. However, given the crazy thing that happened to me on the day I got my ears pierced as a kid, she hasn’t wanted to get her ears pierced… until now. https://raisealithuman.wordpress.com/2021/04/05/earrings/
