Me - "Can you tell me why we are sitting in the dark?"
Ss - "It's Flash-Light-Friday" "It's when you bring your flashlight to school on Friday, find a quiet dark place in the gym, and lose yourself in a book."

We have learned student readiness begins w the SPIRIT of Generosity. Receiving generosity from others builds the trust needed for us to feel like we belong. We all belong together on this land.

Ss at #CBESomerset begin their day with a ‘soft start’ which mimics the way most of us would likely prefer to start our day, with a chance to settle in before beginning work.
Ss are welcomed in 15min’s before the entry bell.

What would happen IF we taught spelling through a “cohesive” word study approach, which “addressed word recognition, vocabulary, and phonics as well as spelling?” (Zutell, 1992)
