You can’t ban books and then scream about cancel culture.

A few weeks late but worth the wait… The last two #FirstChapterFridays we’ve BEYOND enjoyed stories from two phenomenal authors: #Legendborn by Tracy Deonn - Updates Only & #WeAreNotFromHere by Jenny Torres Sanchez. All I can say about both is WHEW; these ones IMMEDIATELY flew off our bookshelf 💜💙❤️

Me to me: I’m going to get all of my reports done this weekend. Also me: *starts reading & doesn’t stop til I’ve finished the book because 🥰* @kacencallender holy crap THANK YOU for this brilliant story; I’m beyond excited to share it w/ my class tmw! #FelixEverAfter ❤️🧡💛

He’s back! This afternoon, our in-house-student-reader-extraordinaire shared his choice for this week’s #FirstChapterFriday read, #AThousandPerfectNotes by CG Drews ❤️🤍 What an incredible story & fantastic reader!

Attn Grade 8s: happy long LONG weekend! ❄️ Enjoy the snow, stay warm, and I’ll see you on Tuesday 😊

Was there nothing better to do with 44 billion dollars?

Happy #FirstChapterFriday to the incredible @tracichee & @tracichee only, who - a week and a half later - still has me thinking about this absolute banger of a novel #WeAreNotFree (Had to order a few more copies because my grade 8s COULD NOT WAIT to read it) 🖤

We love a collaborative math challenge! 💜 Today, these awesome 8s worked with their groups (& then joined ANOTHER group) to solve a sneaky sums problem. 10/10 for perseverance & cooperation ☺️

What a beautiful day to investigate our local watershed 🍂☀️ This morning the students in 8-1 captured their observations using photographs & diagrams in preparation for building their watershed models next week!

When one is tired of tripping over multiple pairs of size 14 shoes in the classroom (topic for a separate tweet), one must ✨innovate ✨ #womeninSTEM

Enjoy the snow & the sleep in today, Grade 8s ❄️ see you tomorrow!
