Carl Hendrick explains there IS a science of writing, but it's messier than reading science. Reading has one key: connecting letters to sounds. Writing is juggling many things at once—spelling, grammar, ideas, organization. Research shows the best way to teach writing is starting with sentences, not essays. Use simple exercises like extending thoughts with "because," "but," "so." Teach explicit strategies step-by-step. This helps all kids, especially those without language-rich homes.

Our schools are crushing it at the Science Olympiad! @SedaliaParkES took 3rd, @Dodgen_MS_Cobb nabbed 2nd, and Walton HS won the top prize, becoming the first Cobb high school to claim the state title.
These brilliant young minds showcased their STEM skills across events like weather, space, biology, and engineering. Their passion and hard work paid off in a big way!
