Perfect timing as we are in the midst of a Civil War Mini-Unit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As we mourn the death of #GeorgeFloyd at the hands of white police officers, it is also a time for learning, reflection, & action. We share an array of resources to help you process this tragedy & the broader histories of violence in which it is embedded. facingtoday.facinghistory.org/bearing-witnes…

Thank you to our amazing APT and Belvedere/Biagio for the most delicious teacher appreciation dinner. We all loved it! #findingjoy67 #DPM67 megan engelberg

Amazing! For those who need a pictorial model...

We “fell in love” with books yesterday during a 7th grade book speed dating extravaganza 💜❤️. #LFmoments #DPM67

Thank you @Chloe64038140 for such a smooth transition to kindergarten. So wonderful to see how excited Max’s friends are for him. Glad he is an excellent listener somewhere! 🤣

Starting 8th grade off reflecting not only on our histories as readers, but also on our roots, communities, and families by crafting our own “Where I’m From” poetry (inspired by George Ella Lyon). #LFMoments #findingjoy67

They're here, they're here, they're here!!! The Constitution EXPLAINED videos have dropped and they are so good. Watch one, any one, and you will be hooked. Check them out. I love it when Center for Civic Ed. and iCivics collaborate! #allciviceducation civiced.org/constitution-e…

Celebrated our journeys as readers today, noticing which texts help shape or transform us into the individuals, and students, we are today. #LFmoments #DPM67

Grammar “Knock-Out” challenge to review parts of speech. Currently teams are tied, so we scheduled a lightning speed round tie-breaker for Monday. Love how quickly time flew and how much fun we had learning! #lfmoments #DPM67

Proud of these 7th graders for crushing their debates on whether or not middle and high school should start later. Tough for us judges to call a winner🥇 #lfmoments #DPM67

No internet, no problem. 8th graders welcomed our no-technology period and got ultra competitive trying to break out of a figurative language escape room. #lfmoments #DPM67

It wasn’t always easy, but I am so proud of the way our students rose to the occasion and successfully completed our #amplify pilot. And they apparently learned a lot along the way! #lfmoments #DPM67

When I was in middle school, I wrote an essay titled “My Grandma: My Hero.” Yesterday, exactly seven years from the date of her passing, I had the privilege of sharing my grandmother’s story of escaping Nazi Germany in 1938 with my middle school students. #lfmoments #DPM67

This.

First day selfie! Can’t wait for an amazing year with these 8th graders. #latergram #WeAreDeerpath #lfmoments #DPM67

Practicing critical thinking and public speaking skills by crafting and delivering Frederick Douglass’s rebuttal to pro-slavery senators using evidence from his Narrative. One word: WOW! #lfmoments #wearedeerpath #amplifyELA
