One of our favorite days is when author @RobBuyea visits JMI and teaches a writing lesson to our 5th graders! What amazing stories they created! And when they heard an excerpt from his new book…👏🏼🤩! Best day! @JMI_Edison

One of my favorite lessons where students compare a traditional childhood story with its graphic novel adaptation. They analyze how visual elements contribute to meaning, tone, and beauty. 📚🔍🤔 @JMI_Edison #inspiringreadersandthinkers

Teaching students to check the credibility of sources while researching for informational writing = teaching them how to use a powerful tool wisely. Research isn’t just about finding information — it’s about finding information you can trust. 🧠🧐💻📝@JMI_Edison
