ELAR teacher with a never-ending stack of books to read. Always learning, never satisfied

When you have to teach from a chair and ice your broken foot in the middle of a lesson - but these students are going to learn how to analyze dialogue no matter what. #wrennvivor

Broke my foot. I’m gonna go ahead and say this is definitely not my best year

@KaitPopielarz Sending lots of love and positive vibes your way.

So excited to work this into lessons somehow. These are the things my students can relate to. Another step in building relationships. Many thanks to @KaitPopielarz for the recommendation. @RethinkSchools

Got to show @ETWrennMS students my alma mater today, St. Edward’s. You can imagine my joy when the kids insisted that we visit the library. Who knows which students might find themselves standing in front of those red doors taking graduation pics one day. #Limitless

How did I miss that @cristela9 came to San Antonio? 😭😭 At least I get to forget the rough day at school by watching the Netflix show. Might even have to watch some Cristela episodes. 😂

Identifying the Hero’s Journey Archetype in Big Hero 6 was made a little sweeter by the treat from our admin for having the best attendance. #donutsandfilmanalysis @ETWrennMS #thriveinthehive

My brain hurts - but a good hurt. Wish “Apprenticeship of Observation” was taught in my undergrad Ed program. It’s nice to put a name to something so impactful. Can’t wait for all the things @dr_zmhaddad and @KaitPopielarz have to teach me this semester.

@MeganPrado8 @DanaSchwartzzz Scythe - dystopian; The House of Spirits - magical realism fiction; Kafka on the Shore - just weird

These kids really like independent reading time. Making summaries easy to write. @ETWrennMS #readsomebooks

Class motto presentations and a vote run-off. Very exciting morning. #limitless #wrenntastic @ETWrennMS

Day 3 - Personal vocabulary list from The Giver. It’s interesting to see the different words each kid chooses #EISDliteracy #literacymatters @MarissaLiteracy @TeachingAshleyS @OdieMedina @freeman_lit @bharris_OYL @ETWrennMS

These kids respected their classmates and worked so hard on Friday to complete their stations. They earned themselves a breakfast party. So proud of them. And loving my new furniture. #growinggreatness
