The verdict is in: my classes did an amazing job presenting their cases at the Mock Trial today! What an awesome way to share understanding of text as a novel final exam! #106learns #ofmiceandmen #theoutsiders #tokillamockingbird #8thgraderocks

Our 1st e-Learning Day is in full swing! Ss are following our usual class structure- "Bellringer", review learning intentions, lesson, practice, closure. Goal: keep communication between Ss going with discussion postings & reflection. district106 Highlands Hornets #106learns
