Happy #PublicSchoolsWeek !

This is a time to celebrate the educators, admins, parents, and students who make our public schools successful.

There are so many wonderful things happening in our public schools and we couldn't be more thankful for everyone who makes that possible!

Happy 100th birthday to Vel R. Phillips! She fought for fair housing in our city long before national laws were in place. My students studied her life and legacy as a part of our Empathy in American Architecture Project. youtu.be/TdMV5liboUk?si… #BlackHistoryMonth #thewestway

Freshmen students at Hale take their learning public today to classmates and community members, sharing their learning regarding plans to address the affordable housing crisis. They designed, built and marketed homes based upon Frank Lloyd Wright’s vision to address this issue.

I’m so proud of my students and the outstanding support from our community leaders - including Mayor Dan Devine and DPI! cbs58.com/news/nathan-ha… #wawmproud #TheWestWay

Today I was at Nathan Hale High School - WAWM for a presentation of learning: Empathy in American Architecture (amazing!), and when I was walking out, there was an athletics send-off for Tristan North, who is headed to the WIAA State Wrestling Tournament! #rightplacerighttime

Wonderful day at M.A.M. artofwritingconference.com! My students collaborated with peers throughout the Midwest and will soon have their work published in the next Art of Writing book. Publishing party to come in April! #WAWMSchools #wawmproud

All of my students give quarterly book talks - presentations of learning where peers suggest novels to other peers. Flex 9 read “coming of age” novels related to our theme of empathy, while Multicultural Lit. students read novels with a cultural identity focus. #WAWMPROUD
