What a fun week! My freshmen annotated a Shakespearean sonnet and began Caesar, AP Seminar presented their team projects, the food classes hosted a delicious mac n cheese competition, and I taught a PD class on feedback 😄✨ have a great weekend!

Such a fun night to support an amazing team! 💚🏀
This past Friday we had our first ever Teacher Appreciation Night. Each player chose a teacher who they appreciated and then that teacher could wear that player’s jersey for the day. Thank you to all the teachers for your support and for everything you do for our girls each day!

Anthony was a teacher, coach, mentor, colleague, and friend to students and staff at JPS. His impact in our building and in our community cannot be measured. We miss him terribly.
This summer, I got married, we honeymooned in the Maldives, and bought our first home! ☀️🏡👰🏼♀️🤵🏼♂️🌊🌴 it’s been a fun, amazing summer, and now I’m feeling reenergized, excited, and ready to begin year 7️⃣🥰

Our 5th annual Shakespeare Speech Festival was a huge success!! My freshmen did a stellar job writing their own speeches from the POV of a character and performed impressively over Zoom 🤩🥰 this year, students chose the fitting name: Times New Roman
Drumroll please🥁🥁 the winner of March Madness 2021 is... Harry Potter!! We had a great time voting all month and HP won in the final round with a whopping 75% of votes.
Hope everyone has a relaxing and rejuvenating spring break! 😎💚 #edisonk12

Earlier in the year I shared my quest to find the best way to annotate online, and the answer is JAMBOARD!!! Here are some of our class annotations from a very fun lesson 🤓💖 almost as good as pen&paper. Thank you @j_ramsey12 (& Twitter-less Alyssa) for your Jamboard expertise!
March Madness: Book Edition! Our bracket includes books we’ve read as a class as well as recommendations/favorite books from students. Students vote each day as a Do Now and it’s been a fun way to start class 🤓📚💚

(2/2) We know that the pandemic has led to an uptick in mental health concerns. School counselors & Rutgers Behavioral Health are all there, at all times, to provide support to students & families. We honor and respect you, as we do our teachers, this week & every week.
