If writing time ends in frustration and tears (for your child and for you), you're not alone. Writing is one of the most complicated skills your child will learn. It's completely normal for your child (and you) to feel overwhelmed.

As educators, we hold the power of the gradebook, yet our educator prep programs do not prepare us to use that power to impact learning. Instead, we rely on our own experiences.

The notion that anything "modern" equates to "screen time" is entirely inaccurate. Instead, a modern classroom utilizes space, pedagogy, and technology to break down various barriers, connect learners, enhance creativity, and develop critical thinking skills necessary for success in today's world.
