@ranchybarnyard Well, when you are a totalitarian government, anything becomes easy. People need to be wary of praising china’s response to the epidemic because while their efforts have been to the maximum, it’s because they have total, authoritarian control over their citizens. #coronavrius

Students loved the field trip to @NauticusNorfolk! #DMSGens #MUSTbesuccessful

Students as teachers: put kids in charge of their own learning and you get 100% engagement! Students created their own Kahoot and used them to quiz and review with other students! #Kahoot #DMSGENS #MUSTbesuccessful

So I logged into my teacher insta to find myself tagged in this MASTERPIECE created by a former student of mine. I am beyond words. My heart is just melting. Literally. People say their hearts melt. I mean, mine is actually melting. 😭 #dmsgen #MUSTbesuccessful

Aw!! I’m so glad they loved it!

Student used African American artist Jacob Lawrence’s paintings to explore the Great Migration. I love how art can tell a fascinating story without words. Check out Lawrence’s Migration series: https://t.co/Us6lyLfkw6 #DMSGens #BlackHistoryMonth

This week we started off our WWI unit by learning about militarism & nationalism. Then we watched “The Butter Battle” by Dr. Seuss to find examples of each and understand how militarism & nationalism can escalate conflict between nations. Fun! 🤓 #MUSTbesuccessful #DMSgens

I love the #dmsgens merch! I feel so cozy. Great job, DMS market place! #MUSTbesuccesful #schoolpride

Students have been amazing me with their critical thinking skills as they become detectives trying to solve the sinking of the U.S.S. Maine. What better way to introduce the Spanish American War than solving one of the most interesting controversies in our history? #DMSgens

Last week’s power outage was a but hectic but my students were incredibly mature about the situation. I was raving about their behavior to my mom who is an educator @newburghschools. She was so impressed that she funded a small treat for them: cookies! They want to say thank you!

I am amazed at how much THIS is true. I am not the best teacher. Sometimes my lessons fall flat. Someonetimes I can be a little unprepared. Sometimes I can be disorganized. But being happy, loving my kids, and SHOWING them love ALWAYS carries the day. #dmsgens #MUSTbesuccesful

Students became mayors of a small town that experiences the effects of Urbanization and Industrialization. Through high stress and and a lot of cramming, students learn the positive and negative effects that came with Industrialization. ��#MUSTbesuccesful #dmsgens

When you have the power to expose children to brilliance, do it. #MUSTbesuccesful

When your teacher friend puts you eating a burrito and working simultaneously as the background on her computer, that’s true friendship. @miss_sweetser #eatandwork #teacherlife #MUSTbesuccessful #MUSTfindtimetoeat #DMSGens

What better way to learn than from each other?? Students created ad flyers for inventions from the period of industrialization and their peers used these ads to complete a stations activty! 😁😁 #MUSTbesuccesful #DMSgens

[DMS_smARTies @DmsSmarties]

Keoben for President (during Reconstruction)!!!!! Here’s Keoben’s plan to help freedmen after the Civil War. He’s going to be so surprised when he learns about the Freedmen’s Bureau tomorrow. #DMSGens #MUSTbesuccessful

[Danielle Sweetser @Miss_Sweetser]

Students became presidents during the period of Reconstruction and were put in charge of reuniting the county and helping freed slaves after the Civil War! These students came up with the “PFS” - an organization that helps protect freed slaves. #MUSTbesuccessful #DMSGens

[Danielle Sweetser @Miss_Sweetser]

GEN Block students are breaking down negative labels and stereotypes by creating positive ones for each other! ✌🏼 #Positivity #DMSgens #MUSTbesuccessful
