Had my first digital class today to discuss To Kill a Mockingbird. I can't explain how happy it made me to see my students and connect with them during this time. Take care of yourself and each other. We will get through this because #wearemeade

Self reflection is so important to achieving goals. You have to know where you are to get where you want to be!

As first period is leaving after reading To Kill a Mockingbird

Me: Goodbye, have a great day!
Student: Bye Atti...
Me:
Student: I about called you Atticus.

To be confused with this character, even momentarily, best compliment ever!

Thank you @MrsDarlahZ and @EllenHall7 for giving MCHS teachers some creative ways to use infographics in our classrooms during our PD yesterday. Saw lots of smiles from my students today because of your ideas!

What do you want to achieve this new year/semester?

Making a goal is the first step to achieving it. I hope these Post-its help my students in achieving what they want out of this year. I'm so proud of them and am looking forward to what the future brings!

Wanted to say thank you to @MrsDarlahZ for our recent library visit. My classes had a wonderful book tasting and got to checked out books. They also had a chance to wrap donated books to give as presents. Giving the gift of a good book...love it! #wearemeade

Thank you Veterans for your service, and thank you to all our heroes who serve this country so bravely. We are currently working on letters for Operation Gratitude. This organization sends care packages, thank you letters, and other needed items to our heroes.

One of my students left this on the whiteboard after we finished analyzing "The Raven" by Poe. Love this artistic interpretation! #wearemeade

Independent reading book talks in action! #wearemeade

[Sean McCarthy @McCarthyMCHS]

Me: A flat character usually only displays one characteristic throughout a story. Can anyone name an example?
Student: The Wicked Witch of the West.
Me: Very good!
Also my student: Wouldn't The Wicked Witch of the East also be a flat character?
Me: LOL
I love my job! #WeAreMeade
