Super proud of my kids for completing their FQT in our Google Classroom today! They did a fantastic job navigating through the doc and using their rubrics to produce the best essay they could :) Shelley Cooper Wit & Wisdom English @co_sumner Sumner Connect @SumnerSTEM @SumnerSTEAM

Just a snapshot of a few of my 6th grade students presenting their monomyth slide presentations to their classmates. I am so incredibly proud of them!! Shelley Cooper @co_sumner Wit & Wisdom English

Want to see an example of a positive classroom culture? One of my girls was very nervous, so her friend went right up there and helped her present her slides ❤️ By the end, the nervousness was gone, and she was presenting by herself! Shelley Cooper Nancy Morris

You know it’s going to be a good day when your STEM station is making a s’mores oven :) Shelley Cooper

Archaeological dig in ELA! Written in Bone has inspired my kids to try a new job. Using a chocolate chip cookie and a toothpick, how many intact chips can my junior archaeologists excavate without destroying the cookie? Shelley Cooper Wit & Wisdom English @co_sumner

My students are working so hard on their 2nd FQT! I’m already seeing HUGE improvements in their writing…it makes this teacher happy 😊 Shelley Cooper @CaseyMDove Wit & Wisdom English @co_sumner

Another fun and informative day for our 6th graders at TAATU! Thanks to Safe Schools for planning this great event for us! Nancy Morris Portland West Middle School

Podcasts, newspaper articles, and personal narratives about The Dust Bowl round out this 6th grade PBL/STEM day…research can be fun! PWMS Panthers Shelley Cooper

“Rethinking Jamestown”- TOUGH article made easy through discussion and paragraph summaries. Hard workers + productive struggle = successful student comprehension! Wit & Wisdom English Shelley Cooper @co_sumner

How do we become the best argument writers we can be? We deconstruct others’ arguments! Dismantling “Rethinking Jamestown” gave students a run for their money, but they persevered and gained some valuable ideas for the EOM Task. Shelley Cooper Wit & Wisdom English @co_sumner

Happy National Librarian’s Day to our favorite- Ms. Smith!! Even 6th graders love being read to when Ms. Smith is the one doing it!!@PWMSPanthers

Teamwork makes the dream work! Students collaborate to find key events and analyze Bud’s reactions to those to determine what makes Bud a survivor. PWMS Panthers Shelley Cooper Wit & Wisdom English @co_sumner

Exciting things happening at West! Ss began their biweekly goal setting with Ms. Smith. Ownership is the key to success! PWMS Panthers Shelley Cooper @co_sumner #sumnerachieves

Enjoying a taste of Lefty Lewis’s favorite drink while working on our new read! The votes are in, and it’s a winner! …but some are wondering how Bud was able to drink it 🤣 PWMS Panthers Shelley Cooper Wit & Wisdom English

Goal setting day! Ss checked their grades, made notes of assignments missing, checked absenteeism, had meaningful conversations with teachers, and set new goals for next time. Ownership at its finest! PWMS Panthers Shelley Cooper @co_sumner #sumnerachieves

6th graders take on the Corvette Museum! Ss learned how Corvettes are designed (lots of EDP there!) and what steps went into repairing the sinkhole. Maybe we inspired some future engineers today?! PWMS Panthers Shelley Cooper #sumnerachieves Tennessee STEM Innovation Network

Rolling out the iPads! Thrilled to offer new ways to #empower students in their learning journey. Oh the possibilities! Shelley Cooper PWMS Panthers #sumnerachieves

Google Workspace takes collaboration to a whole new level! Shelley Cooper PWMS Panthers #SumnerAchieves

Annual field trip to the Corvette Museum! Students learned about sinkholes, restoring damaged vehicles, and even got to breeze through the new interactive build area. Great day! PWMS Panthers Shelley Cooper
