Students came back ready to learn and to wear their mask. This group has amazed me with their positivity and work ethic! We have enjoyed reading “Brown Girl Dreaming” this week. #mmsbelieves

We played connect 4 on our meet today. It reminded my students of the tournaments they had during zero period before school. There was a WHOLE LOTTA laughter. #mmsbelieves #fillsmyheart

This went really well! We started off with Jason Reynolds as the author of our first book! I loved visiting with the students who came and got to talk to a few I hadn’t talked to in a few weeks. My students have motivated more than they know during this time. #mmsbelieves

Today’s meet was awesome! We played a game of kahoot about figurative Lang, looked at a list of idioms and talked about the ones we know, discussed our Lewis and Clark readings, shared our ssr books and sora app, and had a question time! The students fill my heart! #mmsbelieves

Had my first google meets meeting with my students! Great turnout and we had so much fun I forgot to take a pic! They did get to meet my pup too! #mmsbelieves

We created flipgrid video talking about our SSR video and using a Notice and Note question. Students discussed what surprised them as they read their novels they chose! #mmsbelieves #flipgrid #thepowerofchoice

Today classes dug into our new big idea of the unit by adding to our interactive word network! It was fun to see what they came up with! #mmsbelieves

Oklahoma State Cowboys exist everywhere! Love sharing my love for my alma mater with my students! #gopokes #mmsbelieves

[Kelsey Barmann @ms_binthemiddle]

@dearmathgrowup Yeah but go pokes 💁🏻

[Kelsey Barmann @ms_binthemiddle]

Students began exploring their ideas with question 1: “What surprised me?” Today! Excited to use all of these tomorrow and Friday in discussion! #mmsbelieves @Penelope1211

Yesterday, after our self sustained reading times, students shared about what they read by recording #flipgrid videos. Students enjoyed sharing what they read, gaining confidence in their speaking skills, and watching the videos of others. #mmsbelieves #welovereading

@codyfinger12 I've always been told that interviewers over the phone can hear if someone is smiling ☺

@kinzzz10 I believe when you include other people's research you can expand your point of view & find diversity in research #coenenglish
