What a great quick field trip the Valley Park APUSH crew took to the @StlArtMuseum! It was a lot of fun to trace US History through the American galleries. It's always a thrill to see the work of George Caleb Bingham in person!

[Mr. Wood • VPHS @TWoodVPHS]

So proud of my students today! 1st hour Honors class created industrialization museum exhibits using items from our curiosity box. The other American History classes are doing a gallery walk to learn from and evaluate the exhibits. A great way to end the week! #VPPride #VPHS

@DrStryjewski @eisbergpbl @ValleyParkSD I look so disinterested in the photo, but it really was a helpful and thoughtful morning of learning!

[Mr. Wood • VPHS @TWoodVPHS]

@ClassroomFive A classic!

[Mr. Wood • VPHS @TWoodVPHS]

@ClassroomFive Bring back campaign songs, too!

[Mr. Wood • VPHS @TWoodVPHS]

@RNeal111075 Got all those done nice and early!

[Mr. Wood • VPHS @TWoodVPHS]

APUSH scores come out today, but they won't change anything of how I feel about my students. I was proud of them all year and I'm proud of them today. Students are always more than a test score. #VPpride #APUSH

[Mr. Wood • VPHS @TWoodVPHS]

APUSH kiddos rocked out on their test and I'm starting the weekend right with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra's "Damnation of Faust." Good times! @slso

[Mr. Wood • VPHS @TWoodVPHS]

No storm will stop the intrepid APUSHers from rocking their practice test. Great to have such dedicated students willing to spend their Saturday morning preparing for the APUSH exam! @ValleyParkHS #APUSH #VPpride

Three cubic yards of dirt later, the new garden beds are ready for planting!

[Mr. Wood • VPHS @TWoodVPHS]

@JenniferAWelch Looks like a short linstock to me. A pole with slow match wound around it and used to fire a cannon. https://t.co/vupc4Rgqzu

@RoomB17 Thanks very much! I have done a much shorter version as a course wrap-up with my junior students after the APUSH exam & senior graduation, but nothing as structured as this. I especially like the focus of each round. And those cakes are great!

[Mr. Wood • VPHS @TWoodVPHS]

@RoomB17 How do you set this up? Are students arguing for certain presidents or are they assigned to evaluate certain match-ups?

The goal to gut public education is sickening. MO should do better for their future by funding schools appropriately in the first place. VOTE for schools. VOTE for the future. Make sure your legislators know open enrollment is a bad idea. #teachallkids

[Mr. Wood • VPHS @TWoodVPHS]

@RNeal111075 Slowly, but surely our yard will become one giant garden. Lisa has so much planned for the future!

[Mr. Wood • VPHS @TWoodVPHS]

Gardening begins! Got the first of 3 new boxes built, dug in, and leveled. Two to go, then adding soil and prepping the main garden before the planting begins!

@emilykrumm That would be a great choice!
