🙏🏼🌟👏🏻🌟 Thank you Educate, Emily Hanford, and APM for these thoughtful and researched reports on reading instruction in the US. All are a great listen for parents, educators, administrators, higher ed, politicians and taxpayers. Guess that’s all of us! 🗣👥👥🙌🏻 The research is out there and my experience teaching literacy aligns with their reports. We have the information and tools to teach kids to read effectively. We can increase these outcomes for all readers. 📖📚 #educatepodcast

It’s all about pumpkins right now...
🍃 🍂 🎃 🍂🍃
Sentence sorts, writing pumpkin paragraphs, reading pumpkin facts, and Halloween books.

Most popular trivia: jack-o-lanterns used to be carved from potatoes and radishes In Ireland prior to coming to the US.

Anyone else trying to find ways to channel the seasonal excitement into some productive literacy activities? 😁

Community is a gift. ✨🎁 ✨
Great to be in community today with educational therapists, learn from the wisdom of others, and take time to
reflect on our practice.

Thank you to the organizers and speakers at AET for all the work and planning.

In my podcast library - trying out a listen to Annabel and 🐢 Turtle.

A clever and dedicated mom- teacher-now-author took stories that she shared with her daughter and made them available to us.
💗🐢💗 I appreciate her thoughtful entrepreneurship, the voices of children, the messages embedded in narrative... check it out and see what you think. I have more to listen to still... 👂🏻 🧐

✔️Any Ella Jenkins fans out there? ↩️
Such a 💎 gem!
Loving listening to her today as I think about dance playlists for learning! 🎶♥️💬 I am looking for music that I can love and appreciate as much as the kids. 🤔 🗣🎶👁‍🗨
Looking to offer more song, rhythm, dance, and movement in the learning mix. 〰️🎵 ➰🎶〰️
🔄 More music & dance => more joy => better memory => stronger learning 🔄
🎵 ➕💃🏻🕺🏾➕🥁=💪🏽 🧠
This thinking is in conjunction with my Luna Dance Institute program.

What songs do you use in your practice, teaching, or classes?
Any that make you want to get up and dance? Plus offer a learning hook?

I am excited about building these playlists! 🤩

Welcome Back! 🙋‍♀️
It’s big time transition time... 🎒 🌀
My new post shares reflections for this transition or the other ones that are bound to come. 🌿🍁🍃🍂

Humans face change in all kinds of ways. Whether we are big or small, it’s worth paying attention to our response and what strategies help us. 🙇🏽‍♂️🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏽‍♀️
And for our struggling learners returning to school, the load of responses may be heavier and more tangled.
🔜🏋️‍♂️🏋🏽‍♂️🏋🏼‍♀️🔚 How do you manage change and weather transitions?

🌠👥 Hmm. 👀🤔 As we support our kids and learners during their return to school - what do our faces say as we lay eyes on them? 👁😶 Are we lighting up for them? ✨🌟
Welcoming them in or sending them off with our eyes and heart tuned in, in the midst of the busy-ness?
♥️ 👁 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃🏿‍♂️♥️ Was grateful when I heard this today via Oprah.
Will be trying to hold this in mind as I send off my kiddos😌 and greet people 😁of all sizes and ages in my world.

And also researching Toni Morrison to read more of her books and benefit from her insights in honor of her passing.
🙏🏼😇 Parents - What are you thinking about as you send your kids off to school? How do you greet them after school?
🤗🙄😍
Educators - what is important for you when you greet your learners?
🤩🤓🙂
Toni Morrison fans - what are your favorites?

It was an amazing week of collaboration, collegiality, and creativity -
In the name of dance & education, and under the leadership of Luna Dance.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I was grateful to be in the midst of talented & caring dancers, educators, and dance educators from the Bay Area and beyond. ➡️My vision and hope for next steps in my practice and profession:
- look for access points to integrate creative movement into educational therapy sessions
- develop a small, local class to offer for TK-K-1 learners that will entwine dance and literacy.
Followers, families & friends... Your inspiration, encouragement, and ideas are welcome...! 💡💫✨⚡️ The Luna Institute year of mentoring continues. 👣

Welcome 2019! 🎇🌠🎇🌠🎇 The flip of the year 🗒🗓presents a sense of new opportunities and reflection —wishing you all the wherewithal to access the skills that allow you to move to what matters to you most.

I reflect on the top 5 that I hold as a framework because they come up year after year. 🖼Re-framing the goals v. habits may promote a greater sense of progress. I call them the Goals of Gold... go for the gold! 🥇😁😆 https://learning-frameworks.com/framework-for-five-goals/

Excellent listen and read! 🌟🌟 The right of reading: there is a right way to teach reading and all learners have a right to access it.

Teachers, districts, reading specialists, and higher education institutions giving out teaching degrees — systematic direct instruction in language is the key to all our students being able to competently read!
If it is not happening as they describe in this report at your school at any level - ask for it!! Link here:

Happy Dyslexia Awareness month!
Grateful for all the brave, bold, resilient dyslexics out there finding a path to bring their gifts and talents to the world. 💫🙏🏼 I honor all my students and families finding a way to make it work. 👏🏻💪🏽🌟 Hooray for forging your own neural networks internally and building your networks externally.

I hope my ET work can help bring some ease to the struggle and success to tackling the code... one reader at a time.

The daily demands to perform... Can feel like...
“Yikes! I lost my learning!?!!”🙀 Ever have that, “but I knew this at home!” feeling?🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️🙇🏼‍♀️ We are all prone to performance anxiety.
And my students in particular may be able to do something in one setting and not another.🏡🏫 Or performance = answer a question you know... and the answer doesn’t come. ‼️⁉️⤵️ Cognitive science to the rescue! 👨‍🚒🏃🏽‍♂️🏃‍♀️⛑My favorite super hero! 🤩💪🏽🧠 This month’s blog post revisits Dr. Sian Beilock’s research with an ET perspective ...to look at psychological tools for better performance outcomes.

GET Your Good Sleep! 😌😑😴 With the adjustment from summer sleep to school schedules -
Comes sleep deprivation. We may not even know it.

My learners are particularly susceptible to sleep challenges - it’s hard to stick to routines with EF challenges, hard to wind down with ADHD, hard to finish homework in good time with an LD. It puts extra pressure on us adults to model, scaffold, and support healthy, compassionate sleep routines. 😴 🛏 💡 🌙
And to be aware that a lot of behaviors are based in lack of enough sleep. When in doubt - work on the sleep. 😧😔Am super sad that CA Governor Brown missed an opportunity to send a clear message about sleep by vetoing SB328.
I encourage families, teachers, and students to voice their values for a scientifically informed school schedule. 🗣
We undermine our efforts, work, and community’s health by not letting our kids get the sleep they need.

Wishing all EASE with the CHANGES. 🧡😑❤️ Transitions can be silently (or not so silently...) demanding even when they are good ones.
Let’s plan to allow space and time to breathe and be together. ⏰⌛️🖼🛋

I love this visual relating to unwinding an idea 💡 mind - posted by the the Edge Foundation which offers ADHD coaching and support. Anyone heard of them, worked with them, or know someone who has? Curious to learn more for referrals.

Breathe & smile!
My collection of mindfulness apps... sampling and enjoying HeadSpace right now.
I am digging its visual approach layered into the auditory. ❤️ the integration of videos.
Great for mindfulness training of all ages, but also a learning framework— good model for how to packet instruction generally. 😑😌 For my kiddos - I use mindful movement to work on regulation strategies as well as the left and right body identification practice - we “row the boat” while seated or lie down and “swim”. How do you access your mindful self? How do you make mindfulness work for wiggly learners?

Have you all seen “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” Who or what captured your reflections in the days that followed?
I wanted to learn more about this caring man. 😊 I also had that exact stacking toy for my kids and wish I’d kept it... 😆
