A firm reminder that we NEED to be listening to students as we have these debates.

“…books that raise complicated issues: They implicate and discomfort the adults, not the children. By banning books, we also ban difficult dialogues and disagreements, which children are perfectly capable of having and which are crucial to a democracy.” https://t.co/lRVhmYlUrV

Never thought I’d be nostalgic for dial up internet, but this episode from @99piorg had me missing the early 2000’s. Raise your hand if you had a GeoCities site 🙋‍♂️Thanks @romanmars, looking forward to checking out the new book.

Things are getting a little spooky at #KISJ. For #advisory we designed and carved a jackolantern. My little group of ghouls and goblins insisted on calling our creation “Mary Pumpkins.” I just hope she doesn’t start singing to me during my preps. #itsalive #middleschool

Talking about empathy in #advisory this week. We spent today wondering how we can show empathy at #KISJ. Students had some wonderful insights. #middleschool #charactereducation

@PatrickMCarrol1 Our G6 advisory lessons on empathy in action! Awesome.

@RightQuestion There were so many intriguing questions. One that stands out is: “how did the tools develop over time?” We were able to compare more basic tools to more specialized ones and, in doing so, better understand human development. Thanks for the encouragement! :)
