One of ❤️ writing projects this year- A Picture’s Worth 500 Words. Students used famous paintings as their writing prompt and created a story around it. #thewestway #wawmproud @DottkePBLHS

Our two collaborative art installations we did throughout this year. In ❤️! #thewestway #wawmproud @DottkePBLHS #artteacher

Third “Still I Rise” @DottkePBLHS in the books. I love that I get to build this stage with them. 🩷 #wawmproud #thewestway

@JasonReynolds83 I gave a male student their own copy of LWD today. They said they can’t remember the last time they held a real book. They came to me 3 hours later, finished, and in tears (in the best way). Thank you for what you do. #wawmproud @DottkePBL

Thank you @Oddwillows for coming in and hosting a miniature painting session for our D&D seminar! The kids LOVED it! It was great nerding out with you! @DottkePBLHS #wawmproud #pbl #dnd #localbusiness

Today, @mburton28 & I took our Crews to @urbanecology Center. They helped clean up the Hank Aaron Trail while touring their community gardens in prep to make our own at school. It was an awesome day to wrap up our school-wide project work! Thank you UEC! @DottkePBLHS #wawmproud

On Wednesday, I took my Art students to the @MilwaukeeArt Museum. So many of them have never been to a museum, so it filled my heart with joy seeing them awestruck by the amazing art. I was so grateful to enjoy it with them. #wawmproud @DottkePBLHS

On Monday, I took 51 students and 12 chaperones to the Milwaukee Public Museum. It was worth it to see so many students excited for the experience (and exhausted on the ride back). I wish I got more pictures, but the day flew by! @DottkePBLHS #mpm #wawmproud

This was my favorite project from Art this year. The kids had so much fun and I loved their process in creating their scenes. #wawmproud @DottkePBLHS

[Kayleigh Bitters @BittersKayleigh]

This was one of my favorite projects from Art this year. It was definitely a “trust-the-process” project and I can’t wait to do it again next year. #wawmproud @DottkePBLHS

… The Ss started teaching me the difference between conjunctions and we had a dialogue about why I was stuck and how they helped me get over my own hurdle. Don’t be afraid to admit you’re stuck. This is learning. #wawmproud

[Kayleigh Bitters @BittersKayleigh]

During yesterday’s grammar lesson, I admittedly didn’t understand what we were learning about. My brain wasn’t computing. But the students totally got it… (1/2)

[Kayleigh Bitters @BittersKayleigh]

@MandiJStewart I forgot to turn my heat back on Sunday night and I came home yesterday to an icebox. Oops. I hate it here sometimes lol

[Kayleigh Bitters @BittersKayleigh]

Thank you to everyone who supported our event last month. We were able to beat last year and raise $220 for the Milwaukee Women's Center. 💜 We will see you next year! @dottkepblhs #wawmproud

I am just so grateful for ⁦@papagoose_cw⁩ for everything he’s done for our Still I Rise event before break, including video editing each individual piece and creating this incredible intro (voiced by the class). 💜 #wawmproud ⁦@DottkePBLHS⁩ https://t.co/GwHUOlSO0x
