One of my students makes me these paper cranes during lunch and learn. This week she decided to see how small she could make them. I included my finger for scale. The shocked reactions of other students when they saw how small her finished products were was priceless!

“…because we are so much more than violence and gang association. Even the kids that are involved in violence are smart, and the majority of us are a tight knit community who support the wellbeing of one another…” -one of my student’s responses after our circle discussion 🖤

I’m pretty stoked to not have to compete with soccer for my students’ attention anymore, but I will miss getting to bond with them over our predictions. Still a pretty divided house over here, but excited to see who wins Sunday!

LOCO pride and Tribe Pride!! Congratulations!

Last week, my students did a FABULOUS job presenting their book projects to visiting students from the International Academy 🌎 Alexandria City HS. It was a great learning experience for both classes! Alexandria City High School

So many teachers are not okay, but, because they keep showing up, keep smiling and keep quiet— everyone thinks they are just fine.

My students are so talented!

Thank you International Academy 🌎 Alexandria City HS Literature Club for inviting me to critique the fantastic poets at your poetry contest! Great job to all involved! ✍️📝
