A message from the EMMS staff to our students

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

@petewentz @brendonurie I'm a middle school teacher. Would it be possible to use your lyrics to remote teach figurative language and poetry?

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

@CGaliszewski has our kiddos thinking deeper with Philosophical Chairs. Should students get to choose their own teachers? Good thoughts abound (and most think NOT choosing is a good thing 😮)

A fabulous post from one of my favorite teacher bloggers.

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

One of my favorite activities that @VickieReads taught me is the Written Discussion. Today, we looked at German WWII propaganda, broke it down, and then analyzed the claims. These kids are superstars! #NeverForget #ReadingIsLIT

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

We began our gallery walk through ID cards from the @ushmm website today. Our 8th-graders are reading informational text about the lives before and after the Holocaust. #NeverForget #GalleryWalk #HolocaustEducation

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

Using text evidence to figure out who kidnapped the student teacher. 8th-grade ELA students have had the best time using RI.8.1 skills (so many have said "This is so much fun!")

I love watching my students play @quizlet live! Core 2 is ready for their vocabulary quiz tomorrow #wordwithintheword

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

@PaigeBrown143 @DDKirkpatrick1 So, I'm putting you down @PaigeBrown143 as one of the shufflers!

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

I'm thoroughly enjoying being with @NCASCnew as a staff member this week. Watching middle and high school #StuCo students work and learn and laugh from across the state is the highlight of my summer

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

We had a great time in @EMMSStuCo working on teamwork skills, communication, and relationships.

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

@EMMSStuCo enjoyed building relationships and strengthening our team during club time today. #StudentLeadership #BuildingLegacies

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

As much work as this is, I wouldn't trade the happiness of those kiddos for the world. @EMMSStuCo were rock stars. And thank you to all the staff who chipped in!

[East McDowell @EMMS_McDowell]

A special shout out to Ms. Leatherman and the EMMS Student Council for working so hard to make the 8th-grade Non-Prom so special! @McDowell590

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

Step one in my #passionproject- thanks to the Campaign for Southern Equality for holding a training to make our schools safer and more inclusive.

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

Glad I got the opportunity to step out of my little world of ELA to observe other masters of their craft. 8th grade band was amazing on their pass offs today. I love the positive feedback; I'm going to be more consistent with this in my own classroom.

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

We had a great time learning and using one of our new vocab games as a formative assessment for our quiz tomorrow. Check out Core 3 using Vocab Pyramid. Thanks @KennyMcKee for the great strategy.

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

Students who have morpheme instruction has a positive effect on students' vocab retention and motivation. Plus, I realized the devastation of not getting top 5 on Kahoot

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

The start of Day 3 of Middle Grades Literacy workshop.

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

Mrs. Shelton and I are learning LOTS at our @NCCATNews Ocracoke session on middle school literacy. And what a beautiful place to learn!

[Ms. E. Leatherman @ELeatherman]

@EMMSStuCo is working together to get things done for our school.
