Students shared their important books this week. Love hearing about the impact that some texts have had on my students. #ilovemyjob

Thanks to the FishersIN Educator Innovator Grant my Weoples did a primary source walk and Mr. Stumpf - FJH and I were able to present some of the practices we learned at the Library of Congress to the Fishers Junior High staff last week. More come this semester! Hamilton Southeastern Schools

Dine to Donate tonight at Portillos. Help out the FJH PTO if you need dinner tonight.

Day in the library playing Jenga to see what the kids have learned about the media center and FJH. Then getting to watch my first volleyball game of the year. #ilovemyjob

Congrats to Unit 1 for winning king of the mountain with their writing and delivery of Bryan Stevenson’s closing statement. Just Mercy is having quite an impact’s on them all. #ilovemyjob

The Weoples have begun working on their Just Mercy projects! Chaos and mess today. Final projects on Friday. Pictures to follow. #ilovemyweoples

Just Mercy projects are done. King of the Mountain named at the end of the week. #weareallbroken #beastonecatcher

Had the honor last night of being chosen for FHS volleyball teacher appreciation night by this truly amazing young lady. Unfortunately she was sick and unable to attend. However, she showed up at the FJH spirit volleyball spirit night and we got our pic!

For College Go Week we had a spirit day. Once again, no students wore IU!!!! #ilovemyboilers

I always love this day as we learn to read a different medium while studying irony and other story elements. #ilovemyjob

Off to regionals, and once again this program proves why we are family. Thank you to all my former Weoples for your support and continuing the tradition. #invictus

Congratulations to this civic-minded group of students for winning their regional We the People competition today. Now on to state! #invictus

Today the kids did mini presentations for the introductions they wrote. The first real step to giving a full speech to the entire class.

This morning Mr. Sturgeon & I were honored to lead Fishers Junior High PD thanks to FishersIN Scott Fadness & the Teacher Innovation Grant from summer of ‘24 and the Library of Congress Teaching With Primary Sources conference. I hope our staff gained some valuable ideas & techniques.

Today students began searching for poems they can connect to by doing a poetry boo rotation around the room. Many were surprised that they actually found poetry they like!

Congratulations to this awesome group for winning the state We the People championship. #invictus

I’m finally bringing back the poetry coffeehouse! Should be a great last day before break. #ilovemyjob

One of my favorite lessons- teaching the kids how to read a movie! #iwantedtobeelliott

Another highly successful NJHS Super Happy Fun Night is in the books! It was the end of a busy and exhausting week but always worth it. #ilovemyjob
