It was our annual Martyr Madness tournament today. Students had to research an early church martyr and present to their classmates why their Saint was the best. We voted on the presentations and saints advanced to the next “level”. Sebastian won in 2 classes and Cornelius won 1.

Students reviewing for upcoming test with the #clothespinchallenge! They wrote review questions in teams yesterday and are quizzing each other today. If someone asks you a question and you get it wrong, you take that person’s clothespin! Team with most wins! John Meehan (he/him)

Today was an Uno review game that I found on Twitter…all of the review games of late to keep them engaged as we wind down for the year! #teacherlife

Hunger Banquet lesson after talking about Catholic Social Teachings! Students get different colored tickets and served different types of snacks that represent the distribution of wealth in our world. Every year, students react differently…always an important lesson!

We are in our Teacher Appreciation Era this week! Thanks to those who support #teachers and understand how much we do in our jobs every day!

In Media Literacy talking about apps: Me: “Who do you think the intended audience for Be Real is?" Kids: "young people, teens" Student:” I know a 50 yo who uses it." Me: "so what message do you think that woman is sending?” Student:”that she's having a midlife crisis" 😂🤣

Took my 6th graders over to the lower campus for a review activity. My students had a list of Bible characters that we had learned about this year. They were paired with an elementary student and together the read a verse, discussed the story/character, drew pictures & did skits!

I'm going to be a presenter for some of Liturgy Training Publications' virtual workshops for the upcoming liturgical year. You can register for the Advent and Lent workshops which I will be a part of here: ltp.org/VIRTUALWORKSHO… #catholic #teacher

Happy 4th! I’ve been blessed to visit 47 of our 50 states so far💁‍♀️ Many of the states I did in my 20s with NET Ministries. I love the natural and cultural diversity that exists in our country and gives it its beauty. I pray we can embrace that diversity rather than fear it. 🇺🇸🙏

The new school year has begun! Here are my “stats”: Year 15 of teaching 🍎 Year 10 at current school 📚 # of Schools: 2 Grade levels taught: 6th-11th Subjects: 2…ish? Theology (Scripture and Sacraments) and Media Literacy (Current Events, Journalism, and Public Speaking) 🤗

Back to school “get to know my classroom” activity! Students have to find case sensitive answers on a Google form. All questions are about things in my room! Got the idea from John Meehan (he/him) Definitely beats just going over a syllabus! Happy first day! #teacher #catholicschools 🍎🙏

Watching the news everyday can be anxiety inducing these days. So I have instated “Feel Good Fridays” this year in Journalism class where students find a positive news story and report on it live for the class every Friday 🤗🎤🙌#teacherlife #medialiteracy

Annual tour of the Church sacristy to see the items students are learning about! #catholicschool

Today’s teacher costume! Rosie the Riveter 💪💪 Most of the girls could clock the image but thought it was from an advertisement which I guess propaganda is but…🤷‍♀️needless to say, teaching moments ensued.

Happy 2025…You can find me now over where the skies are blue! 👋🩵💙
