Yesterday we studied for our “Outsiders” quiz by using #hexagonalthinking. This required students to connect only the hexagons that had something in common. They did awesome! #silver7shines #twisterpride #WeAre146

Today I attended the Mock Trial that the 8th graders did.They did a fabulous job. Can’t wait for part 2! #twisters #twisterpride

Yesterday we had our first Socratic seminar! Students discussed whether it is a positive or negative experience to be an outsider. They used their notes and text evidence to help them explain their response.
