Students creating videos for an amazing new YouTube Channel: “WAIS GrammarTube”! 30-90 second videos on a specific grammar topic using @Flipgrid 💚💚💚 #SBVanguard

Reason #736 why I ❤️ 7th graders: We debated the likelihood of the book being good when there is a cute boy on the cover. 😍📚 Starting our American Rev. Book Clubs today by writing a #TextualResponse 🇺🇸🇬🇧#HistoricalFiction #ARBCbookClub #SBVanguard

Thank you Nathan Hale for the awesome new introduction to #JohnnyTremain! ❤️📚❤️📚Students are loving it. Great way to kick off our American Revolution Book Club novels! 🇺🇸🇬🇧 National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) #NCTE18

Thank you coach king for taking us to the season opener of Houston Dash‼️ Such a great experience for these girls (and me). We even got to hang out in the player tunnel before the game! ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ #SundayFunday #GirlsTrip #DashOn

Yesterday we walked across the street to Wilchester to check out books from the library. Ss will be creating @Flipgrid videos to practice their #readingfluency and #tone in preparation for our Poetry Unit coming up! Thank you WAISLibrary for going with us! #FieldTrip ❤️📚❤️📚

🇬🇧🇺🇸 American Revolution Book Clubs got together to discuss the first few chapters of their books today! My teacher ❤️ is happy listening to students discussing literature. 😍⭐️ #SBVanguard

Students are recording their @Flipgrid videos working on #ReadingFluency. I asked students to be aware of their background and make it interesting. I think these students got it! 📚❤️🌿🌼 #SBVanguard

I’m trying to understand Ss obsession with #BTS so I agreed to play 🎶 music with words during SSR 📖 today but only if they could “be cool”. Not sure how much authentic reading they got done but I was entertained by their squirming to contain their excitement. #BeCool 📚 ❤️

👫 #PEERFEEDBACK! Ss gave feedback on the progress of each other’s work today. Not only did each slideshow get a new set of eyes, but they also got to see nearly finished projects for last minute inspiration! 🙌 #AmericanRevolutionBookClub #HansAndFranz 💪❤️ #SBVanguard

Today during Reading Prime Time (RTI) the 🇬🇧American Rev Book Clubs🇺🇸 met to discuss their book and create character maps. 📚❤️📚❤️ #LASS #Science #Math #SBVanguard

🔸GAME CHANGER🔸Students authenticated their #HistoricalFiction novels this year by coming up with their own questions instead of me 👩‍🏫 giving a list of topics to research. The questions they came up with were things I never would have thought of! 📚❤️ #BookClub #SBVanguard
