The assignment was to respond to King George III’s “You’ll Be Back” from the Hamilton soundtrack with the colonists’ perspective. This takes T Swift’s version up a notch if you ask me. 😆 Such creativity!

Favorite moment of the week: “Mrs. Moose, what happened to your arm?” “Oh, just a suspicious mole.” “You mean like THIS one?!” I love my job 😂 *this led to a story about a Molé-loving mole #homonyms @dist105 @LaGrangeD105AAD @HodgkinsSchool @KubiliusSarah

@brianhousand encouraged us to SLOW DOWN and PAY ATTENTION 👀 to the world. Thanks for sharing fun ideas to ignite student curiosity at this year’s @iagc_gifted conference! Here’s one: What would an 👽 think of__❓ #staycurious @dist105 @LaGrangeD105AAD

So excited to be co-sponsoring the @SpringAveSchool Newspaper Club🗞 📰 again with @joannammarek! It feels great to be back in action after an unanticipated hiatus due to the pandemic. These writers are eager to write! ✍️ @dist105 @LaGrangeD105AAD

@teachingwithms3 @Newsela @elonmusk Hahaha! Insect sound so delicious though 🤮 🕷

[teachingwithmsk @teachingwithms3]

Our 5th graders are learning to write summaries as tweets using our @Newsela article - What will humans eat on Mars? The kids love this assignment with @MooseTeach, but they don’t love that @elonmusk’s company said insect-based foods would be a source! #Mars #LifeOnMars

Elevating student thinking at @HodgkinsSchool!🧠 🧮 📚@subitizer @dist105 @LaGrangeD105AAD Thanks Mr.Don & @SvetsThinkTank for setting us up with a display wall! #watchusthink #staycurious

They say books are both windows and mirrors. Today, #rainreign was both. A student related to a character with Autism and was brave enough to share it with our group. My heart is happy. 😊 ❤️ #powerofreading #acceptance @LaGrangeD105AAD @dist105
