Yesterday was very difficult, I teach in Barrow at a different high school. Seeing students discover friends were hurt or passed away while they were in a lockdown themselves is something I never want to experience again. However, they supported and loved each other through it.

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

I know this community will continue to support each other in the coming days. If you would like to support any of the families who are mourning the loss of a family member, the links are below.

Also please keep this community in your prayers.

Proud to work somewhere that prioritizes mental health of students.

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

Students completed their first JPA of the year today with a hero sort. Some great conversations and critical thinking occurred. I’m loving all my new students and excited to see them grow. @BASABlazers @CLASE_UGA

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

For our first day students made alignment charts with common procedure and routines. These turned out to be great critical thinking and discussion promoters and were hilarious. Fav is definitely the chaotic evil of “turning in blank work” @BASABlazers

@MsDClarkTeaches The kids call them fish 🐠 I can’t wait to try different combinations of groups, they roll too.

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

Today students sorted and discussed what they thought the most and least important rules for our classroom are. Way more interactive than reading through a syllabus.

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

When you are cleaning & find OLD Beowulf annotations. Seeing these brought back so many memories; two stand out as one is a new mom who let me hold her precious baby recently and the other being @AntonioGibson14 who I was able to see play this year. My “babies” are grown.

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

Proud to accept the most organized teacher award.

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

When your fellow teachers ask if you can help with the coffee bar for teacher appreciation this morning you make a Kroger run. Also maybe my ice coffee obsession is a little to well known at this point.

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

My IF rose to the challenge of completing each person completing all of their Naviance tasks in a week. Today we had donuts in celebration of their hard work and working together. ⁦@ELHS_HCS⁩

That’s right, my mom never misses a plant sale at ELHS. She even took me around the yard this afternoon to show their “new homes”

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

So proud of this young lady representing ELA as well as our other GHP finalists. I’ve had the privilege to teach of these phenomenal human beings.

[Brandon Parham @brandoncparham]

@ELHS_HCS would like to congratulate our finalist for the 2022 Governor’s Honor Program! We are so excited to celebrate your achievments and we know that you will fly high and SOAR in your fields! Go 🦅’s @DrKeshaJones1 @KindraTukes @RWilliams_EDS @Courtneyque1 @MrArnoldtheGol1

Hearing Conrad yelled across a store, followed by a familiar grin, and giant hug from a former student made my day. Hearing he’s doing well and expecting a baby made it even better. No matter how grown you are, teachers still see you as our kids and love hearing about your life.

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

This! My colleagues rarely believe me when I say I’m an introvert. At work I constantly put on a persona and am “on” all day. The quiet in my car before I enter the building is vital, not to mention time alone after school or weekends when I genuinely plan to “do nothing”

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

It’s very difficult being an introverted educator because you have to force yourself to be “on” every day. Almost every aspect of your work involves doing the thing that requires most of your energy - interacting with people.

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

This young lady is phenomenal in so many ways with the sweetest spirit. She is always happy to help anyone and truly brightens my day every time I see her.

[Eagle's Landing HS @ELHS_HCS]

Congratulations to this Eagle for being the first in our school’s history to receive “The Stamps Scholarship” from Mercer University! We are proud of you, Asha!

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

I’m so proud of this group of students they collaborated throughout the period. They had great conversations and helped each other with every step of their assignment. One Google doc on the touchscreen with one person controlling the mouse, another, the keyboard. @ELHS_HCS

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

Students chose from 3 TEDTalks based on their interests. Then collaboratively they are using EdPuzzle to be guided through a rhetorical analysis of the TEDTalk. I’m loving hearing conversations about anaphora, analogies, alliteration and more. Voice and choice= more engagement

[Ms. Conrad @MsConradELHS]

Excited to attend the last home game of the season tonight to cheer on some former students.
