Carrie, your story is a powerful example of why we need representation in all our classrooms. For students to identify as readers, writers, speakers and thinkers, it really helps when they can see themselves in the literature that is offered at school.
Carrie, Thank you for sharing your remarkable journey in a new school during a pandemic. The pandemic alone was a challenge for all, but to also be immersed in developing a new literacy curriculum adds a whole new level. It sounds like the school is on the right path and how wonderful to have been able to use Gholdy's framework from the get go. Love the part in your post about "J" dancing around the living room! That just brings it all home. :)
