Some soccer-themed Quarter 4 motivation I created for our students during SOL season⚽️🥅 Always trying to find ways to speak their language (and make a cool bulletin board)😄
We just finished a research project in which students had to research an animal, then create an informational poster and exhibit to convince the class that THEIR animal belongs in the Sterling Zoo. The creativity of these kids blew us away!! #ResearchIsFun#Nonfiction
Throughout Quarter 3, we had a "House Cup" competition where students earned points for work/behavior in their Hogwarts "houses" to win a prize at the end of the quarter! Today, our Ravenclaw and Gryffindor teams got to do a donut tasting as a reward🏆 #positivereinforcement
One of the highlights of this week was seeing our Moana Jr. show come together, behind the scenes and in front of the curtain - thanks to everyone who came out! Incredibly proud of the work these kids put in🌺 Can't wait to see what these stars do in the future!
Today we had a Moana showing for the kids who rocked the musical last weekend! It’s awesome seeing their hard work pay off! @STM_Library@SterlingMiddle1 @ChristyMSlifkey
CASE CLOSED! This mock trial is now finished and students have made their claims and supported with evidence for their short stories💡 One of my favorite units to date! The students did AMAZING acting as lawyers, jurors and witnesses, and learning about court in sixth grade.
In honor of Super Bowl Sunday coinciding with our poetry unit, we held a HYPER-BOWL-E paper football tournament where the students got 6 points for a touchdown, 1 point for the extra kick, AND a bonus point for writing and proclaiming a hyperbole before the kick🏈📝
So fun to watch the @SterlingMiddle1 spelling bee, with current and former students participating! So proud to see this kind of vocabulary🤩📝 #spellingisfun
Last day before break! Played holiday scattergories, awarded our final "student of the day" for this week, and matched with some of my students✨ See you in 2023, Sterling MS!
It's a winter wonderland in our classroom! Also, reindeer twinning for #twinday with my coteacher, Ms. Khan!❄️☃️ (feat. paper snowflakes made by our wonderful advisory classes)
Thanks Ms. Guido for making this amazing showcase to display our Battle of Route 7 trophy for our students! Still so proud. Go check it out in House A!🥹⚽️ #WEARESTERLING@SterlingMiddle1
Today was Quarter 1 rewards day! Students were able to trade their Class Dojo points from Quarter 1 for prizes. Students spent their time at the "coffee shop" writing five different introductory leads for their personal narratives. #positivereinforcement#coffeeshopvibes☕️📝
Some reading features: LLI reading group, independent readers, and "Somebody Wanted But So" logs! Students being intentional about their reading is one of my favorite sights📚 #LiteracyMatters
Sharing a few photos from the Battle of Route 7 pep rally and game because I am still BEYOND proud of our team for bringing home the trophy🔥 #WEARESTERLING#PROUDcoach@SterlingMiddle1
Students have been practicing their creative writing skills and plot elements in writing their very own spooky story this week - today, they shared them with classmates! They did such an amazing job! 👻 #futurethrillerwriters
