Phase 1 & 2 of timeline building. Ss began by constructing their own westward expansion timeline independently, then collaborated with a partner to construct a new one using each other as resources. Onto phase 3 2morrow. @n8than_thomas #NMSteach
National Principals Month. If you have a principal or administrator who is a servant leader, let them know how much you appreciate them! I appreciate them all as well!
Kicking off our week with Episode 4 of our weekly podcast: A Pass To The Past. This weekβs topic has us journeying on the Oregon Trail. @n8than_thomas #nmsteach
Students simulated the roles of Thomas Jefferson & Lewis & Clark during the purchasing and expedition of the Louisiana Territory. They journeyed thru the West to discover plants, animals, and peoples of the West to report back to βTJβ for analysis @n8than_thomas #NMSTEACH
Students applied their annotation, detecting bias, claim developing, and corroborating evidence skills to determine the outcome of a conflict at school. Special shout-out to Assistant Principal Steffes for sharing her POV & #SHEG 4 the lesson @n8than_thomas @jasteffes#NMSteach
Station rotation in the collab space today using kinesthetic, visual, and auditorial learning styles to practice map, geography, and analytical skills. We even added some competition for fun! @n8than_thomas #nmsteach
Shout out to my 8th graders for teaching 7th graders in Mrs. Huffβs class how to create claim statements, analyze historical documents, and respond to prompts using evidence. Thank you @Huff_teach for providing this opportunity for my students to teach what they know. #nmsteach
11th Grade AP US History students from Mrs. Dealyβs classes coached 8th grade students through the process of writing DBQs. Great discussions and collaboration. @n8than_thomas @Bakerdealy#NMSTeach
Happy 40th birthday to AP Mr. Harmon! Even on his birthday, he is leading by example and serving the Ts! We enjoyed our lunch break while administrators monitored the lunch shifts! @bharmonGVR5@GVNMSEagles@GV_Schools
Time is a valuable resource for school leaders~ use it well. That is my takeaway from the last class of Curriculum Leadership....can't believe it's the last class. It's been a fun time. #ucmoedlead@BryanMcDonaldPD
