Students did a great job learning about types of governments by creating posters and visuals using gummy bears, then teaching the governments to their peers! #MTPSPride #dolphinpride

Three years, two maternity leaves and one pandemic later, my class returning to Twitter. Excited to get back to sharing and learning here!

Today, students are busy creating cartoons representing theories of the origin of government. Impressed with their creativity! #MTPSPride

Developing class rules and taking a learning styles inventory make for a great first day of 8th grade Social Studies! Excited for the year ahead! #MTPSpride #dolphinpride

@GannonBMS @Reginio_MTPS @lvanglahn @Mr_KCullen I love the part where it says Ss “must learn to reconsider their own beliefs and to seek out good evidence to inform public debates.” I just learned about challenging our own assumptions and beliefs in a recent grad class. Essential for critical thinking.

Bayshore students are spending their Friday after school sorting items to be donated to military members overseas and making thank you cards! Awesome afternoon for Make a Difference Day! Thank you to all who donated! #MTPSpride #DolphinPride

Did Lincoln free the slaves or did the slaves free themselves? Students examine primary and secondary sources to develop their responses. #MTPSHistory #MTPSPride #DolphinPride

8th graders analyzing a speech given by Pres. George W. Bush after the attacks on 9/11 using @Newsela #MTPSPride #DolphinPride

[Tara Stewart @TStewartBMS]

First week in the books! Great few days establishing class rules with students and reviewing primary v. secondary sources. It’s going to be a great year in Social Studies! #MTPSPride #DolphinPride

“If Historical Figures Had Instagram...” what would they post? 8th graders start wrapping up the year by creating a mock Instagram for a historical figure. Loving the creativity and engagement! #MTPSPride #MTPSHistory #DolphinPride

[Tara Stewart @TStewartBMS]

@MrMadensky You got it!

[Tara Stewart @TStewartBMS]

7th graders created amazingly authentic looking items for their Civil War Mystery Person projects! Both sets of items “belong” to the same person from the Civil War Era - any guesses? It’s a hard one! #MTPSPride #DolphinPride #MTPSHistory

[Tara Stewart @TStewartBMS]

Vienna explains her SPARK project to us - she started learning sign language! Awesome job, Vienna! #MTPSPride #DolphinPride

[Tara Stewart @TStewartBMS]

Starting to wrap up our Civil War unit = BreakoutEDU time! 7th graders use their knowledge and problem solving skills to crack the code of The Lost Lincoln letter. Thank you @TeachLoveLearn_ for helping us! #MTPSPride #DolphinPride
