Love the enthusiasm of my students during our historical scene investigation of the Boston Massacre! Kim Poorman @ComalSocStudies @PrmsVipers

Breaking up is hard to do... My students had a blast writing break up letters to King George III proving critical writing can be fun! PRMS VIPERS Kim Poorman @ComalSocStudies

I feel a little bit like Oprah today! “You get a Constitution. And, you get a Constitution. Everyone gets a Constitution!” @ComalSocStudies Kim Poorman PRMS VIPERS

Missing my students and remembering the fun we had in class the two days before Spring Break learning about Transcendentalism as well as art and literature in 19th Century America. PRMS VIPERS

Spent a lot of time last weekend creating writing workshop, guided essay template, & peer editing to help students create well written essays for our Colonial Stock Prospectus PBL. Seeing results as I grade them make it all worth it! Kim Poorman @ComalSocStudies PRMS VIPERS

Finding this in my 2nd grader’s folder made my U.S. History teacher heart so happy! My favorite part was her saying “you cannot hate” the flag. @ComalSocStudies Kim Poorman Illiana Gonzales

Once you are my student, you will always be my student! When a former student personally invites you to come watch them in the Nutcracker you make sure to be there!!!

Filming our invention infomercials today! Our amazing principal even made a cameo in a few. @ComalSocStudies Illiana Gonzales Kim Poorman

Took my little BBES Trailblazer and SVMS Mustang to help out the PRMS Vipers on National Clean Up Day!#webleedblueandpurple

BostonMassacre CSI is one of my favorite lessons. Students are engaged in reading primary source eyewitness accounts, collaborating, debating, and creating a statement to the jury on whether British troops committed murder or acted in self defense.Kim Poorman @ComalSocStudies

Just fulfilled my civic responsibility to vote! As a U.S. history teacher I need to practice what I preach. PRMS VIPERS @ComalSocStudies Kim Poorman

Reviewing Reconstruction today Escape Room style. 20 minutes before school started I remembered the library had some boxes and 4 digit locks so that added even more fun! Patricia Nieto

Collaborative brain dump was a great activity to kick off STAAR review! Patricia Nieto PRMS VIPERS

STAAR Review is in full swing. Court Cases of the Early Republic Spoons, Industrial Revolution Guess in 3, and Jenga Trivia for the win. Thanks SocialStudiesSuccess for the great resources! Patricia Nieto PRMS VIPERS

Brought in an investor today to hear my students pitch out their colonial regions! My students knocked their sales presentations out of the park with slides, costumes, brochures, treat handouts made from products grown in their regions, and even a music video! Illiana Gonzales

Every year this lesson on the Boston Massacre evolves. This time I added a period costume and CSI music! PRMS VIPERS Illiana Gonzales

Last day of Red Ribbon Week was dress like your favorite holiday because we celebrate being drug free. Had to get a pic with my students who picked 4th of July!

STAAR kick off day was a success! Great conversations were had as students “dumped” their knowledge from the year and helped each other remember key facts. Never seen so much excitement about Federalists and Anti-federalists!
