Watching my kids work through the hard concept of meiosis vs mitosis was so great today. I even see them using their highlighted textbook!

Today was awesome. Students watched Minion shorts and wrote down their traits on our new dry erase dots. It was really cool to see the focus even while watching silly Minions!

Why, yes, I took flowers from my house so the kids could look at plant structures.

Our latest project involved monopoly money, dollar store items, and a "budget". We built space technologies to help study black holes, dark matter, galaxies, and exoplanets and much more! These kids did great!

Today was such a cool day! Thanks to @skypeascientist we were able to discuss our Galaxy with an astronomer from the European Space Agency!

Sometimes you just have to ditch the classroom and enjoy the beautiful weather. Escape rooms are a great tech free way to keep them engaged! #sjmsharpsharks

I asked my kids to read in groups today and these angels got cozy on the floor and took turns reading to each other. I was able to capture such an innocent moment with 8th graders. 🥰
