Happy St. Patrick's Day yinz guys. Downtown #Pittsburgh was lit up for the occasion this morning, with festive colors on a number of buildings, from the Highmark Building to the Gulf Tower, Oxford Center and the City County Building. Made for some really cool scenes around town.

The kiddos introducing themselves to their “new” classmates! They created a “poster” where they wrote their names, interests, and how they were feeling about coming back to 5 days of school. They really enjoyed getting to know their new groups! #JustKeepSwimming

After an awesome job with discussion posts this week, We did a GIF Party for our ELA Weekly Wellness Check In! The students had to share the show they’re watching during #Quarantine and describe why they like it. #missingmykiddos #thestjamesway #sjmssharks #AloneTogether

What better place to capture a giant heart in the #Pittsburgh skyline than from the Mr. Rogers statue on the North Shore? The old support of the Manchester Bridge provides the perfect frame for the skyline, with a spotlight illuminating the statue right below the heart.

Even though a huge storm knocked out the power last night and it still hasn’t come back on, I still managed to have my Virtual Meetings today with the help of an iPhone hotspot 👍🏻🤗#justkeepswimming #thestjamesway #AloneTogether

A giant heart display in downtown #Pittsburgh: last night while waiting for the space station flyover, I noticed the Fairmont Hotel was lit up in the shape of a giant heart in support of healthcare workers. There's no doubt it looks great in color, but I love it in black & gold.

@Bheathsjm They were all super creative and funny!! #soproudofthem

[Ashley Adams @ms_adams_]

For our Weekly Wellness Check In, I asked the kids to make their own “Tik Tok” video on Flipgrid to let me know how they’re feeling about social distancing and eLearning. They did an awesome job! 😂#thestjamesway #justkeepswimming #AloneTogether

In honor of virtual spirit week, #whatchareading I just started the unfinished Sanditon by Jane Austen #justkeepswimming #thestjamesway

[Ashley Adams @ms_adams_]

My teaching assistant and I hard at work for Day 4 of eLearning! #PajamaDay #virtualspiritweek #thestjamesway #justkeepswimming

@AyersGretchen The students had to create their own s,c&c sentences then act them out while the rest of the class guessed what the sentence was supposed to say and what type it was. They had a blast!

[Ashley Adams @ms_adams_]

The students had so much fun playing “Sentence Charades” to review Simple, Compound and Complex Sentences! #thestjamesway #sjmssharks #elagames

[Ashley Adams @ms_adams_]

The students enjoyed their One Pagers and Poetry annotation so much they wanted to share them with the class! #poetryormotivationalspeech #thestjamesway

[Ashley Adams @ms_adams_]

Imposta Shark wanted to sit on the shelf and watch the kids annotate their poems. Apparently he’s also a Steelers fan! #sharkontheshelf #12daysofmerryshark #thestjamesway
