Opening day fun…we’re back and ready for kids tomorrow!! 💙🤍 Highcrest/WJHS Wilmette Public Schools

We’re off to a great start in the 21-22 school year! 👏🏼 In writing today, we were able to share “wow” and “wonder” sticky notes to give feedback and make connections to peers on our first mini assignment. Highcrest/WJHS Wilmette Public Schools

It’s SparkPage time! 7th writers wrote an essay about the history of their names. We had a visit from Jill Forti to start working towards a final product using their essay and related pictures as a guide. I can’t wait to see their finished work! Highcrest/WJHS Wilmette Public Schools

Yesterday was peer feedback day! SparkPages are complete and everyone was able to read and provide feedback to others’ work. The final products are awesome! Jill Forti Highcrest/WJHS Wilmette Public Schools

I love class teamwork opportunities…we played Quizlet live to review Social Studies content! Highcrest/WJHS Wilmette Public Schools

We kicked off the tech portion of our infographic project with a visit from Jill Forti where we learned about Keynote! We researched on topics from Fortnite to WWII to ADHD and are ready to put our work and creativity together! Highcrest/WJHS Wilmette Public Schools

My co-teacher Laura Rinkenberger and our amazing tech teacher Jill Forti organized such a fun activity to close out our winter book brackets…shrinky dink bookmarks! I love mine! Wilmette Public Schools Highcrest/WJHS

Beyond proud of the WJHS dance team for their hard work this season and so lucky we got to close out with a performance at the Northwestern Women’s Basketball game today 💙Wilmette Public Schools Highcrest/WJHS

So happy I was able to co-teach a kindness day homeroom lesson with Mrs. Dwenger! We made cards for the sick, wrote kind letters to teachers, and made a positive homeroom poster! #SEL Highcrest/WJHS Wilmette Public Schools

What’s in a name? 7th writers have been working on their name essays this month. Today, Jill Forti came to class to teach about Spark Page so we can display our work and learning in a creative way! ☺️Highcrest/WJHS Wilmette Public Schools

Using the viral TikTok song “It’s Corn” as inspiration, 7th writers created their own poetry…using their own favorite food! So impressed with the creativity! Highcrest/WJHS Wilmette Public Schools
