We are so proud of so many students for soaring above the line this week! #BetterTogether #soarlikeaneagle

Tried out a colleague’s idea in ELA today! Students had to create their own claims, reasons, and counterclaims for each other’s ideas. Great way to teach and practice creating a strong argument!⭐️📝

Slow down and enjoy the journey right now. Take time for the people in your life. They won’t always be there.

Do good and good will come to you. #quote

Book fair book fair BOOK FAIR!!!📚🤩 The most wonderful time of the year!

I am blown away by the collaboration and higher level thinking of 6th grade Ss ⁦Hawthornmiddlenorth73⁩! Their creativity making connections through hexagonal thinking with ⁦Jess Salerno⁩ and ⁦Beth Jahn⁩ is impressive! #bettertogether

Our ALA classes were given the challenging task of “hexagonal thinking” - They read multiple poems by famous black poets & activists, then used hexagons to connect the poems’ themes, motifs, symbols, figurative language, literary devices, etc. They rocked it!! 🤔💭💡Beth Jahn

Summer School was a blast this year!! 3rd grade is such a fun age to teach (but I still love my 6th graders!) Best of luck in 4th grade and maybe I’ll see these kiddos in a few years at MSN!🤩☀️

ALA worked so hard on their Journey Through Literacy projects…and it sure shows! Check out some of these amazing finished products!😍📖📚

I love working with Ss in small groups. Jess Salerno has the best ideas for stations! #d73inspires #bettertogether

Earlier this week, ELA read an excerpt from Jacqueline Woodson’s “Brown Girl Dreaming” and today they participated in 5 different stations. We worked on making inferences, identifying signposts, common & proper nouns, identifying the theme, etc. Busy day!!!😅😁

ELA had some fun comparing & contrasting the two texts “Bad Boy” by Walter Dean Myers and “I was a Skinny Tomboy Kid.” We♥️ Jamboards!

Happy National Custodian Appreciation Day! We are so grateful for you, Wilson! #BetterTogether
