My students have found the joy of podcasting! Listen as they tell their own stories of hope and discuss symbolism and meaning of light in holiday traditions around the world! 🌎💫

[Avon Community School Corporation @OrioleTweets]

We released a bonus episode of the Orioles In-The-Know podcast this morning featuring a student project. Multilingual learners from AMS North share about their holiday traditions. It's worth a listen! @AvonSupt @MattHines10 @avonnorth1 #ALLBelongLearnGrow https://t.co/lg26ecilwz

Mrs. Harmon is DINOMITE! We are thankful for her passion for learning and growth. She strives to make each student better and encourages her colleagues to be their best too. She makes SMS the BEST!

An oldie but goodie. Wait time ⏰ for teachers is THINK TIME 💭for students and is essential for multilingual learners. Don’t underestimate it. 💥
