Some students are off-task not because they are attention seeking or malicious, it's because they are sleep deprived or hungry. Know the story and you can better know how to help! #maslowbeforebloom

Independent reading is not about a level; it’s not about a certain number of minutes. Independent reading is that reading we do that helps us develop independent thoughts - not thoughts directed by anyone else.
