Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my senior honors...it was a very sad day for me. Our relationship started 3 years ago for some, 4 weeks ago for others, but I miss them all. Today, I got some beautiful good bye emails.

I always teach my students that their voice matters...that they have to own their own lives...today, 3 of my freshman reached out about different things that they needed from me to help them be successful. I was so proud!!! This is def the focus of my weekly shout out!

@dedicatedTamon2 You’ve got this, kid! Just keep communicating with the teachers and ask for the work. We’re here to help!

[Susan Yates @MsYates_English]

Super impressed with a few of my honors sophomores and their analysis of this poem! Still thinking about some of the comments! These hornets are smart!!!

[Susan Yates @MsYates_English]

This is by far my favorite Ted Talk. We had a great discussion today about bias, prejudice, point of view, and evidence. I can’t wait to finish tomorrow and see what these young brains have to say!

Who needs sleep these days! Transitioning to remote learning means making sure all expectations are clear for these futures of America. This weekends focus, clarity in grading!

[Susan Yates @MsYates_English]

Jammin’ with my freshman today...it’s day 3 and I’m already a big fan of these guys.

One of my favorite things about being a teacher is being taught. I’ve used this syllabus template, modified from Discipine in the Secondary Classroom, for 4 years now. BUT using it for virtual learning w/ Google forms really taught me ALOT about my kids this year. So EXCITED!!!

[Susan Yates @MsYates_English]

Thanks to the CPS Dept of Literacy for the amazing agenda template idea!!!

Well, it’s an interesting start to my 17th year as a Hornet, but here goes! I’m excited to see some smiling faces tomorrow morning!
Good Luck, Hornets! Let’s make it count!!!
