Would you rather kiss a snake or eat a chili pepper? I said I would rather kiss a snake and my students dared me to do it. Challenge accepted 😘🐍 ⁦@OssiningSchools⁩ ⁦@AMD_ROCKS⁩

This week we are waking up our brain by asking questions! It’s important to approach a text with curiosity to help you stay focused and engaged while reading. 🙇‍♀️📖🙇 @MrsClarkReads @AMD_ROCKS @OssiningSup #opride

Merregan did a super job reading and visualizing in class today. She stops and jots to make sure she understands what she is reading. Way to go!! 👏🏻 #opride @AMD_ROCKS @OssiningSchools

Our readers practiced visualizing, or making a movie in their mind, to stay focused. They shared what they imagined using a mode that worked for them- drawings, words, or Google images. Check out some of their awesome work below 👏🏻 @MrsClarkReads @AMD_ROCKS @OssiningSchools

We had students in the building today 🙌🏻 Our readers listened to “I Promise,” written by LeBron Names and created their own list of promises. Check out some of the amazing promises our students made! #AMDRocks @MrsClarkReads @AMD_ROCKS @OssiningSup

Reading students had the opportunity to listen to Jacqueline Woodson read aloud her book, “The Day You Begin.” Then, they reflected on what makes them unique. We love learning more about our special students! @MrsClarkReads @OssiningSup #AMDRocks

Today’s lesson is all about challenges and what we do to overcome them! “A Chair For My Mother” is the perfect read aloud for modeling this important life skill. We are finding our students to be resilient! #AMDRocks @MrsClarkReads @OssiningSchools

19 years ago just after midnight on September 11, 2001. At the end of our broadcast that night, our cameras streamed a live look at the World Trade Center, as Meteorologist Sam Champion forecasted the next day to be “sunny and pleasant.” #NeverForget 7ny.tv/2wKnbWj/

After moving from Hondoras just 3 years ago, Caterine’s English is strong! She’s working on building her reading skills by looking closely at words and sorting them by long or short vowel sounds. I can’t wait to see the progress she will make this year! 📚📝 @OssiningSchools

Students are already finishing their first independent reading books for the year! By creating mini books for their “Ideal Bookshelf” they are inspiring other students to read what they have loved! @OssiningSchools @AMD_ROCKS

In the reading room this week, we are focusing on visualizing as we read. By making a movie in our minds, we can better remember and understand what we read. Look at these awesome readers in action! 👏🏻 @AMD_ROCKS @OssiningSchools
