My sweet crew students surprised me with my very own special day, many of them even wearing red, my favorite color! It was such a sweet surprise to start my morning yesterday! โค#cometculture@MMScomets
Surprise Special Days in our Comet Crew started a little bit ago, where students get to celebrate a special day in our crew, with a treat, and classmates wear that person's favorite color. I am a bit late, but Mr. Connor was our first ever special day! @MMScomets#cometculture

Some students chose to learn about Japanese Calligraphy in the Middle Ages, and their artwork turned out great! Tyler and Lily really worked on recreating the exact brush strokes! These are representative of the character representing "Long Time" #socialstudies@Mariemont_JH
Had to share this beautiful Haiku! 7th grade student, Jacquelyn, wrote this during our unit on Feudal Japan! I think she captured the essence of fall so well! Beautiful!๐ @Mariemont_JH
Students created a symbol to represent those ideals most important to them, as we dive deeper into understanding the Samurai Code of Honor and how it relates to the past and present. @Mariemont_JH#samurai#history
