Shout out to @MrsBessGMS and @CPS_SS for bringing the Black History Mobile Museum to @gentry_middle today! Our kiddos were so enthralled with it!

[Joy Bess 🟧 @MrsBess_SS]

@MrsAGalbreath @CPS_SS @gentry_middle What a thought provoking day. I hope the conversations started today will be continued at home and in classrooms. So thankful to @CPS_SS, Dr. Khalid el-Hakim and Prof. Griff for the opportunity.

This engagement in Black history and examining primary sources to make meaning, find connections, understand historical contextualization and patterns...this lives our ‘why’ as SS educators. Thank you to Khalid and the BH 101 Museum for @BH101MM this amazing opportunity!

[CPS Social Studies @CPS_SS]

I enjoyed the day immensely and I learn so much from @BH101MM every time he is here—and from the amazing educators I get the opportunity to work alongside! #CPSbest

An absolute privilege to hear from Dr. Khalid el-Hakim & Prof. Griff (of Public Enemy) at beautiful DHS today! Black History Mobile Museum is making a stop at every CPS MS & HS to teach about the impact of culture on Hip Hop and of Hip Hop on culture. What an opportunity for us!

Thankful to have @briggsjimmie talk to our students about his work as a journalist and the complexity of portraying people beyond a single story. It made for great writing and conversation!

[Lynn Hagen @lynnahagen]

Listening to @briggsjimmie talking to students about Ferguson. What is the impact today in 2020? #Spartan_Strong

[Mrs. Hager @HagerSHEPARD]

We launched our geography unit by exploring a wide variety of maps. Students enjoyed exploring Google Earth, globes, a fabric map, puzzle maps, a flat map and atlases. We recorded what features we noticed. #shepardshines

📍Students' grades should represent their current location, not an average over time. Where they were isn't as important as where they are right now. 📍 #LeadInclusion #sblchat #tg2chat #masterychat #globaled
