Impressive teaching today in Ms. Lieurance's 1st grade class! When the presentation TV was not working properly, she did not miss a beat! She calmly rebooted it and continued to teach students consonant and vowel sounds on their dry erase boards. When a student was behaving inappropriately, she masterfully redirected and calmed him. Ms. Lieurance used excellent literacy instructional techniques that were all aligned with the Science of Reading! Students stayed engaged the whole time! Ms. Lieurance's patience, calmness, experience, expertise, and kindness were on full display today!
