College Psych students built neurons out of pipe cleaners to show how a neural impulse sends messages via depolarization and repolarization of each axon!

Today my 10th grade bio students were tasked with making lab safety signs for my classroom and they did not disappoint 😂

Whenever we have a drill and I have to step out of my classroom just to lock my door, it terrifies me to think that anyone in the hall could be the shooter. It’s my job to see how fast I can get the door locked to protect the kids inside. How is this normal?

After a test today we had a class competition on the Snake Game. I kicked butt and I think I have now peaked as an educator

Happy teacher appreciation week! My 9th graders gifted me with dish soap in my brand new pencil sharpener 🙃 #20moredays

Let’s keep raising substitute pay but give absolutely zero bonuses for our teachers who have gone above and beyond their normal duties and try to create a somewhat normal classroom environment for our kids. This is why teacher retention is plummeting after this year.

AVID 9 hosted a food drive for our class community service project. OHS students collected 198 food items for the Husky pantry and the local food shelf! #OwatonnaProud
