Full body chills watching our SLJH orchestra this morning! Such a talented group of students #7LJHpride

Inkblot Poetry (or free writing—there are no rules here!) in Writing Club early this morning! #7LJHpride @spartan_speak

Writing Club held a collaborative poetry cafe today! Students read untitled pieces as the audience listened and helped brainstorm possible titles. @spartan_speak #7LJHpride

So much fun at this year’s SLJH International Festival!! @spartan_speak #7LJHpride

“WE get to name them??” A silly idea turned out to be some wholesome & funny first day classroom community building 💚🌿

Great turn out for our first Writing Club meeting!! 😊📝 @spartan_speak #7LJHpride

Sometimes this is what “tutorials” look like— and that makes my reader heart so happy 🥲 no extra “work” here, he just wanted a “chill spot” to read away from little siblings 😂

Our annual Spartans Unite Cultural Potluck was a success! We had everything from potstickers to pandan waffles to pork buns. 💙🧡

Spartan Roundtable is ready to learn new ideas and get fired up for our school! 🧡💙 @spartan_speak #7LJHpride Jostens Renaissance @kdeissRLA

Spartan Roundtable had such a blast with PC 🎸🤘🏽 & Gian Paul Gonzalez learning how we can go “ALL IN”! So excited to bring some of this energy back to SLJH! #7LJHPride @spartan_speak 𝙶𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎 𝙻𝚘𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚍𝚘, 𝙴𝚍.𝙳.

Poetry Cafe with Marta Lopez! Such a fun & yummy day for our 8th graders! ☕️

Being a little insufferable and making my students analyze Taylor Swift’s new album announcement, but hey— poetry is cool! Poetry is relevant! And look at these inferences!

Using stations to collaborate & extend our thinking on the myth “Icarus & Daedalus”!

The 2024 SLJH International Festival has officially begun! Smiling so hard as we kick the night off with our Parade of Nations! @spartan_speak Katy ISD

The 8th Grade Day prep begins…

I enjoyed hearing 8th RLA students present their Social Action Projects and what steps students can take to help. 🗣️ I even heard an idea I think we could do at SLJH! @spartan_speak #7LJHpride

3rd day of school brings modeled writing and diving into the stories behind our names!
