7th Grade ELA Teacher at DeLay Middle School. Superheroes and soccer players have as big a role in my room as subordinate clauses and similes.

Hoping the sun continues to shine on our 8th grade boys’ chances of advancing in the district soccer tourney! @DeLayStrong

When the third kid to arrive in your testing room brings a leaking bottle of red Gatorade, that’s a bad omen. #randomstaarthoughts

Student: "Do we still go to classes after next week?"
Me: "Well, yeah. We still have three more weeks of school."
Student: "We still have to LEARN?!?"

Another great Free Comic Book Day field trip today! Many thanks to @TwentyElevenCom, @CaitlinRosendo, @room161chaos, and the Northwest Dallas Comic Book Creators for bringing some joy to our students! @Freecomicbook

On a Friday afternoon, when you're discussing character traits of the narrator in the poem "For a Slight I Can't Quite Recall" with your class, and a student says he's a "wannabe cholo," that's a win.

Never let it be said that we shy away from difficult topics in my class...

My students wrote some HAUNTING “firsthand” accounts of surviving the Titanic! So good I had to put some on display, and have some of our artists add personal touches like people jumping off the ship. 😁#creativewriting

Having students who love sci-fi is great. Getting them to appreciate GOOD sci-fi is apparently another matter...

[Steve Harbula @MrHarbula]

My students won’t let some stupid power outage stop them from learning! #truegrit
