Reminder! The Atoms Writing Center is having their bake sale tomorrow, October 25, outside the auditorium! Come if you want a tasty snack! 🍪🍩🍰

So excited I got to introduce a new group of students to Othello today!

The English Department is Barbie Land! Here’s the English 11 team’s take… 😍. Love you, Barbies!

Brainstorming for WorkKeys!

I have given feedback on over 400 practice WorkKeys responses in the last month. I hope it pays off for my students today!

This! 🙌

Make sure to sign up for the Atoms Writing Center in the December Activities Day form if you are interested in becoming an AWC tutor! Excited to see you all there :)

It's not too early for snow in Mrs. Hanson and Ms. Hsia's English 11 class. Loved this discussion strategy! #atomnation

TOMORROW! Bring cash to get some goodies and support the AWC 3:30-4:00pm tomorrow outside the auditorium.

English teachers should have an additional prep period for reading and providing feedback on student writing. It takes over 8 hours for a writing teacher with 100 students to read and respond to a typical set of essays - and that's assuming only 5 minutes per essay. #bfc530

Remember to go to Clausen Hall for Pride Time on Dec 13 to get help in drafting and revising your short stories! Hope to see everyone there!

Awesome! 🙌

After engaging in a Pear Deck review of theme, students were given choices how they wanted to review lit terms during "arts and crafts," while I worked with small groups based on our pre-assessment data. Fun way to wrap up the week and head into a 4 day weekend! #IBLit

Love this writing workshop with color-coded feedback from peers.

I got to dress up as a Disney character today AND annotate Othello?! 3 of my favorite things! Happy Halloween!

When Hanneman 😬📚 forces you to make your Othello review more interactive and it's not only effective but just as fun as ever!

Knew it was a big ask to start a poetry unit right before break (especially after my English 11 students crushed the Writing WorkKeys last week), but my students did AMAZING today!

Holiday Atom Nation 10 Spirit or headed on a tropical vacation? #yellow

I loved seeing how my IB students have grown in their literary analysis today as they worked together in groups to annotate and then share their thinking with their classmates!
