Reading Grading for Equity by Joe Feldman. Lots to consider about my grading practices as I look to the future. #LPMSRams #lookingtothefuture images.app.goo.gl/tVuo2TjK6uEx5u…

What if #thatonekid had a sign like this? What if we all did?? How would it change our approach and the trajectory for the child? Thanks Jimmy Casas #HandleWithCareEDU #CAMLE2021

On our way to 1000 books before Kindergarten! (Plus all that we read that we forget to record!😊) Thank you High Plains Library for encouraging reading with kids!

What a gift from Longmont Kiwanis club for our school library! This generous donation of $600 will help us complete our 8th grade legacy book project! Beckie Large-Swope Melanie Scovill Patrick Kilcullen Zac Chase #SVVSDReads #LPMSRamReady

Thank you! We have asked every 8th grader to recommend a book for the library. Students will put a bookplate in the book with their name, years at Longs Peak and a message about the book or school for students to read. Our 8th graders will leave a legacy of reading.

We read Eve Bunting’s The Wall for #FirstChapterFriday illustrated by Ronald Himler in honor of #VeteransDay2021 and our friend Matt Barz who read this every year to his 8th grade classes. Melanie Scovill Longs Peak Middle School Clarion Books Sandy Heiser

We are so proud of our 8G debaters today. They were respectful, confident, and well-researched.

Sketchnoters took their expertise in “core structure” & transferred that knowledge to current learnings in their content classes. These students chose their argumentative essay from Language Arts class to #sketchnote. Melanie Scovill Beckie Large-Swope Longs Peak Middle School #StVrainSketches

Who wins the argument? 8th grade persuasive essays going head to head in a battle to make the most convincing argument possible. Way to go Melanie Scovill ….these students are ready to take sssay writing by #StVrainStorm ✍️

Today, we revisited our informational & literary texts from Q3 as we dove into Digital Blackout Poetry. It’s amazing what 8th graders can do with a stylus, a text, and a little time for creativity!#blackoutpoetry Longs Peak Middle School Beckie Large-Swope @karenmancusi Courtney Adams #lpmsramready

Reading The Last Cuentista! I was hooked from the start. Excited that my students have access to such amazing YA literature! #neverstopreading #thelastcuentista

8th Grade Legacy Project is done! 8th graders recommended the books and with the help of Kim Ackerman @StVrainEdFund the Kiwanis we bought them, the students inscribed them and the books are ready. Melanie Scovill @SVVSDLibraries Longs Peak Middle School #svvsdReads #StVrainStorm
