Congratulations Leann Haga on being named EL Wright’s 2022-2023 Teacher of the Year! We are proud of everything you do for our students and our school. You rock! @leannhaga@malinda_mtaylor@Sabrina_suber
Who said reading was the only thing you can do in ELA? We are having SO much fun listening to the “Six Minutes” Podcast! Students are using their best listening skills to complete graphic organizers we’ve used with texts this year. #middleschoolela
A “This or That?” Kahoot was the best way to end a long week back after spring break. If you were wondering- the Billy Ray Cyrus remix of Old Town Road is supreme, Carolina is better than Clemson (obviously) and McDonald’s vs. Burger King led to a VERY heated debate.
We had so much fun with our book tasting today to celebrate receiving 500 free books from @FirstBook! Thankful for my @PiBetaPhiHQ sisters that volunteered to “serve” books to the students. #readleadachieve
Recruiting & retaining teachers goes beyond the 4 years students spend on campus. For alumna LeAnn Haga, a high school outreach program inspired her to teach, a scholarship allowed her to earn a degree & @UofSC continues to support her as a new educator. https://t.co/1sjFMjwftw
Welcome, Sharks! Today we analyzed argumentative and persuasive techniques in Shark Tank pitches! Tomorrow students will get to begin working on their own products to pitch to the Sharks. #middleschool#middleschoolela
We love a good brain break! Students were invited to respond on a post-it if they felt themselves losing focus while taking a test. Today’s most popular destination was Paris! #middleschoolela#middleschool
Students spent the last few weeks examining context before reading A Long Walk to Water. Their thoughts/ideas have been challenged by guest speakers, discussion and texts. Can’t wait to see how the novel impacts my students! #readersareleaders#middleschoolela
