So happy to still be able to do our modernized “A Midsummer Nights Dream” Plays with a hybrid twist! Thank you to my awesome students who amazed us with these performances! @CCSD93 @JSPrincipalD93 @jsactivitiesd93 #jsjayhawkway

Grateful to be taking “Culturally Responsive Teaching” at @JohnsHopkins. I will do better. I will listen. I will educate myself and my students for I believe, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela

Book speed dating in ELA today! Kids are discussing their most recently read books and trying to find their new “loves”! #books #booklovers #wearejayhawks #d93innovates #ValentinesDay #speeddating @CCSD93 @JSPrincipalD93 @mrperanich

Loved watching the kids modernized versions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream! They were each tasked with rewriting one scene from the play, making it more modern and still incorporating dramatic irony! #middleschool #wearejayhawks #Shakespeare @CCSD93 @JSPrincipalD93

Finished recording our video to send to our friends in Japan! We’ve had a blast learning about their middle and community. It has led to great discussions on ways to communicate effectively. We are so excited to continue throughout the year! #wearejawhawks @JSPrincipalD93 @CCSD93

Watching the videos our friends in Japan sent us to introduce themselves and tell us about their town. We are so excited to send them a video back that will be centered all around Thanksgiving! #wearejayhawks #d93innovates @CCSD93 @JSPrincipalD93 @mrperanich

Having a great time learning about different roles in finance and how math is such an important component within those roles!! #wearejayhawks #d93innovates #ccsd93 @CCSD93 @JSPrincipalD93

😍 writing work days! We have students working individually, one on one conferencing with me, and peer editing all at once! Giving students the task of signing up for extra teacher conferences helps them take ownership of their learning! #wearejayhawks @CCSD93 @JSPrincipalD93

[Miss Nelson @MissNelsonA]

Practiced our close reading strategies in ELA! A strategy I STILL use to this day, especially in my masters classes #middleschool #languagearts #closeread #d93innovates #wearejayhawks @CCSD93 @JSPrincipalD93

Our math challenge this week: come up with a real life scenario where 2 negative numbers multiply to be a positive answer. We had SO many awesome submissions and great math discussions! Here are just a few! #wearejayhawks #d93innovates @CCSD93 @JSPrincipalD93
