Hey @Dictionarycom My third grade students want to know how you decide to list homophones and their defintions in the dictionary. So if you have bow for a violin and bow for bending over, how do you decide which one comes first? Third graders are pondering.

Students at SPES took a deeper look at social studies than other elementary school students have before. Their classes used resources from Reframing the Narrative, a social studies curriculum that invites students to explore all sides of history. youtu.be/t0gHcPw3mrM

Very good point! And the reading wars don’t help—many have rejected the thought of core instruction for tier one being the same knowledge exposure for all students. I truly believe there is a massive equity issue with not having rich core knowledge they ALL kids have access to AT grade level. – at Arkansas, USA

Musical sentences for #fluency practice! Each day during Morning Meeting I write a new sentence using as many of our “sight words” as possible. I keep those sentences to use for games and activities in our phonics skill groups.
