So excited to lead the New Teacher Middle School ELA Training today with Emily Murrell! Our teachers are ready for the new year! #newschoolyear #LMSPats
Students created tableaux scenes from Refugee by Alan Gratz and fully committed to "selling" the scenes! #LMSPats #busyweeklastweek
So thankful to #NCTE and @KristinRunyon for the awesome idea on how to connect ideas from our entire 9 weeks! 8th grade students did great analyzing/discussing how themes, literary elements, vocab, and text evidence connected all the way through our "trying times" unit #LMSPats
Students working hard to create their independent reading book presentations on a rainy Thursday #curlupwithagoodbook #LMSPats
How do you prepare for the upcoming Case 21 test?? Have students use some serious critical thinking and standards review to make it out of an escape room!! #lmspats #escapeELA
A cloudy day, creepy music, and critical thinking on how to prepare for a zombie apocalypse?? Happy Halloween, Patriots! #lmspats
Starting the year off right with independent reading books! #sacredtime #lmspats
So proud of my girl Kaylee!! I loved teaching her this year and seeing her grow so much!
Congratulations Kaylee! Kaylee pushed herself in English this school year. Even when frustrated, she never gave up. She grew so much as a reader & writer. Proud of her willingness to open herself up, ask questions, & share her love of reading. #LMSPATS #TeamDCS #RaiseTheBar
So thankful for my awesome administration and school community! They know how to make a teacher feel loved! #patriotstrong #lmspats
I’ve talked to so many parents today checking in on my students. Hearing back from them made my heart so happy, and it continually confirmed how much I miss my students! #distancelearning #missmystudents #lmspats
Taking time out of this beautiful day to Zoom with the best team #DistanceTeaching #lmspats #EnglishTeachers
I’ve loved reading through my students’ first day responses! What’s so surprising is how so many students say they’d rather be in school! #distancelearning #missmystudents #lmspats
Students chose really significant scenes to illustrate their Holocaust novels #litcircles #lmspats #ignorethegum
