The pros and cons of playing outside, as determined by 6th grade boys: ding dong ditching ✅ & animal attacks ⚠️🤣 but they did fill up the graphic organizer! #lrmsesolrocks
This was hands down the best discussion I’ve ever had with my 7th & 8th graders leading into our WWII unit. After, one of my 8th grade girls said, “I really love your questions. They make me think a lot about our world today.” 🎉🎉🎉 They are my motivation! #lrmsesolrocks
#lastdayofschool at LRMS! This one has been exhausting and it was the first one where I didn’t cry my eyes out, but I ❤️ teaching these young ladies! #lrmsesolrocks
They’ve come a long way in the first 6 weeks of school! We learned to write thesis statements and cite evidence to prove a point #lrmsesolrocks
Nothing like a live-action game of The Oregon Trail! The 7th graders love participating in a “Land Rush” like the early settlers and then trying to survive their new life in the Great Plains through a series of assignments! #lrmsesolrocks
We often teach kids to write MORE, but how often do we explicitly require them to make their writing BETTER? 7th grade crushed this activity editing their own work (writing based on a photo). #lrmsesolrocks
Nothing like a gallery walk of the horrible things Hitler said to get kids fired up first thing in the morning! For today’s Thinking Classrooms activity, 7th reacted to a collection of quotes and analyzed how those beliefs might endanger society #lrmsesolrocks
So much fun…and a great way to build memory capacity! Even my gifted kiddos had to productively struggle! #lrmsesolrocks
Our LRMSWolves had fun being kids with a Friday science lesson on how surface tension creates bubbles! Getting them off devices and interacting with each other is the name of our game this year! #lrmsesolrocks
