#sol15 Five, Fabulous Teachers Standing in a Row

Five, fabulous teachers

Standing in a row,

They earned their robes,

Sashes, scarves

Attending and teaching classes,

Reading, responding, reflecting, 

Questioning, and observing.

Producing lesson plans, 

Drafting IEP goals,

Considering Essential Questions,

Designing and administering assessments,

Turning and talking,

Discussing Frindle,

Singing phonemic awareness ditties,  

Performing reader's theater, 

Practicing guided reading,

Reading and writing informational texts.

Questioned and observed.

Thought about lesson plans, 

Pondered IEP goals,

Reconsidered Essential Questions,

Focused on formative and summative assessments,

Fostered turn and talk,

Reread Frindle, 

Performed reader's theater,

Sang Row, Row, Row Your Boat off-key,

Demonstrated guided reading,

Focused on reading and writing informational texts.

They are the future,

For lucky children and districts.

They are 

Lined up ready to be

Put into service
