6th grade students having a conversation about academic vocabulary after a flipped classroom assignment. The discussions were great. This is an awesome way to teach vocabulary. #hmsproud #campusbadges

Students loved using their choice boards to review for their Unit 1 Test. They had the flexibility to study at their own pace and choose which items they completed first. Great job, Huskies! #CampusBadges #HMSProud

BookSnaps are fun! These provide students an opportunity to visualize and interact with a text. #CampusBadges

While traveling on my journey to a master’s degree, I have encountered new ways to approach my students in class. What have I learned? Relationships matter more than anything else. What you think will guide where you go. Choice is at the heart of everything. #campusbadges

Readers-Writers Workshop at Region 10
My teaching partner and I had a great experience learning how to better structure our class activities to maximize student outcomes. I love how this approach gets kids to think!!!

Husky Gardens are alive and well. Looking forward to completing this project. Building a sense of community and altruism in school is vital for our students. Can’t wait to see where this leads. #hmsproud

Expository test review team challenge. 100% engagement. First team to correctly complete the review wins. Each team member must complete the review accurately. They are really competitive and working together like a well-oiled machine. #HmsProud

Object research has begun. Kids are finding some interesting facts about how some common items came into existence. My favorite is the clock:)
