My goal was to finish this before the end of the school year, so I am a few weeks late, but I did it! I read the entire Percy Jackson series.

And we're back! Have a great 2022-23 school year CMS! 🎉🎉🎉 Hempfield SD

Today we're using Pixar Shorts to practice labeling a plot diagram! This one is titled "For the Birds" and is a great reminder of why it's important to not follow the crowd.

"Mrs. Moore, can I make William a gold chain?" Why, yes! Yes, you can! 🤩🤩🤩

"Thank you for having us do this worksheet, Mrs. Moore! It really helped me think about the deeper meaning of the poem!" -7th grade ELA student We're wrapping up Ch. 5 of The Outsiders by taking a closer look at Robert Frost's famous poem. It has sparked some great discussions!

Student: "Mrs. Moore, can I make something for you out of these magnets?" : ☺️ #gobirds #FlyEaglesFly

Today's #ArticleoftheWeek was about "bots" writing essays. Just about every student wanted to share their thoughts on this topic! I was surprised to learn how many were against using bots to write essays, but there was some great discussion about reasons #ChatGPT could be useful.

We're conducting final discussions of our historical fiction novels today. A few comments: "Mrs. Moore, I'm so glad I had to read this book." "I loved this book & I usually don't like historical fiction." "I couldn't stop reading at the end. I cried... but I loved this book."

During today's #leadership lesson, students had to take directions from their partner to draw a picture that they could not see. Here's how Homeroom 115's turned out! 😅 Hempfield SD

I never miss a chance to wear my Brian Dawkins jersey to school!! Go Birds! Hopefully Homeroom 115 steps it up for tomorrow's "Barbeque Dad & Soccer Mom" day!😁 #spiritweek
