This week in #APUSH, we’re exploring the development of American identity and culture in the first half of the 19th century by studying transcendentalism (outside, of course!) and “speed dating” reform movement leaders. I’m so proud of the work these students are doing!

We are excited to welcome our next wave of students to the Storm! Join us on August 23rd for our 9th grade orientation! Parents welcome! #WeWill

Today, student detectives with the FVPD (Fair Verona Police Department) investigated the deaths of Count Paris, Juliet Capulet, and Romeo Montague. They did an amazing job analyzing witness statements, evidence, and crime lab reports in order to create claims about what occurred.

@TheLABSaga @breakoutEDU My friend @mrsbason and I adapted it from materials we received at a WCPSS professional development session a few years ago. The template can be used for any subject, and the kids love it!

What a fun day in world history class @WillowSpringHS! Student teams answered questions about the Renaissance, Reformation, and Scientific Revolution to unlock puzzles and “escape��� the room. #teamwork

I just spent the afternoon watching my ninth graders’ argumentative speeches about the US justice system after reading #JustMercy. Y’all, THEY WERE AMAZING! I’m so proud of them. @eji_org
