A little tug-of-war in room 306 regarding whether Henry intentionally or accidentally damaged Mr. Levine’s village in Tunes for Bears to Dance To. #WeAre409 #literacy #CriticalThinking

AMS 8th graders were introduced to hexagonal thinking today as they shared their thinking about “The Tell-Tale Heart.” Their conversations are the best part. #WeAre409

“You can go viral from anywhere…,” but going viral isn’t always a good thing.
Such an important message for our AMS kiddos.

“The kids who come to us from hard places don’t want to come from there.” 🙁 For sure. Kevin Honeycutt kicks off 2024-25 at Atchison USD409. #WeAre409

I’m so blessed to have had these kiddos and 80 others in my classes this year. Year 33 is in the books. #WeAre409

AMS 8th graders took a short break from working on their literacy analysis squares over The Outsiders to have some chocolate cake and Pepsi, the favorites of the Curtis brothers in the book. #WeAre409

@zkonyha Awww, thank you! It’s so good to hear from you.

Today eighth-graders engaged in collaborative review identifying and labeling verbals. I think they’re ready for the test!

AMS 8th graders have been working in small groups to analyze short stories. Their conversations are amazing. #WeAre409

@Susiejoylewis @alicekeeler There is nothing wrong with asking for help, but admin should be aware that she needs help and offer it without her asking. Coaches and mentors should know that when help is needed and step in to offer that early.

These 8th graders are collaborating (not cheating) in small groups on their end-of-quarter English assessment. They are each other’s best resources. #WeAre409

15+ years ago we were talking about digital citizenship. We need to be talking about and teaching digital leadership.

“Data-driven is the most stupid term….” Yes! Thank you for that, @gcouros
What teacher doesn’t use “evidence-informed practice”? Please let us do what we love to do: teach our kiddos.

It may be close to the end of the year, but ELA8 students are still hard at work evaluating each other’s reading projects. #literacy #WeAre409
