One of my favorite things about this Word Nerd Collaborative Community of ours is connecting with one another. Like anything in life - teaching is more fun with friends! I am so glad you are here and would love to connect with you!
Monthly planning sesh
Use the link to join our once a month planning session Zoom. On the 3rd Sunday of each month. During our time together, I’ll lay out and explain all of the books, lesson plans, brain breaks and resources that are included in the upcoming month’s pre-planned calendar. During the 90 minute session there will also be time for Q & A.
Let's Plan!
Monthly Lunch Bunch
Do you remember those summer library programs from when you were a kid? The one’s where you’d pack your lunch, bike to the library and then eat on the floor with your friends while the librarian read to you? Yeah, me too. I wanted to recreate that magic - but on a larger scale, with authors. So, on the last Friday of each month, I want to invite you and your students to a 30 minute Zoom call in which each of the featured FCF authors from that month will join us to share a writing tip and answer a few questions. To join the monthly lunch bunch meeting, click below.
