Needed a Friday kid-fix and stopped into an 8th grade social studies class...but apparently I walked into the British House of Commons! Well done @ms_mcgovern!

Our team had a chance to learn and think about cultivating educator resilience today. from the fantastic Elena Aguilar did not disappoint. And yes, the rest of me did attend, not just my eyebrows. #OnwardTheBook #wsd101 #101edchat

8th Graders race to construct their own segments of the Transcontinental Railroad by matching historical documents to Railroad Ties! #mcbulldogs101 #wsd101 #socialstudieseducation

[Ms. McGovern @ms_mcgovern]

#MCBulldogs have a HAND in decorating our classroom by reflecting on what it means to be American. We'll see how their ideas shift and change as we learn more about our nation's past throughout the year in 8th grade social studies! #wsd101 #mcbulldogs101

Tomorrow we kick off what will be another spectacular year at McClure Junior High School! Wondering who you'll see throughout the halls? Check out our meet the teacher video!

District 101 certainly has some amazing (and sometimes silly) students :) #wsd101 #McBulldogs101

[Ms. McGovern @ms_mcgovern]

Had an incredible day learning about equitable teaching practices from @MisterMinor! @tkellysci and I have a lot of new ideas to try in our classrooms at McClure! #WSD101

[Ms. McGovern @ms_mcgovern]

Under the direction of General MacArthur and Admiral Nimitz, 8th graders battle in the pacific theater of World War II simulating the U.S. strategy of Island Hopping! #mcbulldogs101 #wsd101 #socialstudieseducation

[Ms. McGovern @ms_mcgovern]

Our 8th grade social studies House of Commons made some critical decisions today when faced with German expansion! The Speaker of the House was very impressed 😉 #appeasement #simulation #mcbulldogs101 #wsd101

[Ms. McGovern @ms_mcgovern]

A few bulldogs made it big today in social studies playing the 1920s Stock Market! Prices just kept rising...until they didn't 😬💸📈 #mcbulldogs101 #wsd101 #8thgradesocialstudies

[Ms. McGovern @ms_mcgovern]

8th graders are migrating from the South (library) to the North (classroom) today to explore sources that show African American experiences of the Great Migration! Don’t forget your Green Book while traveling North! #mcbulldogs101 #wsd101 #8thgradesocialstudies

[Ms. McGovern @ms_mcgovern]

8th graders spent the day negotiating the peace terms of World War I to create their own version of the Treaty of Versailles! Maybe their version won't cause World War II... #mcbulldogs101 #wsd101 #8thgradesocialstudies

[Ms. McGovern @ms_mcgovern]

So many students went above and beyond on their immigration time capsule summatives! 🤯👍 #MCBulldogs101 #WSD101

[Ms. McGovern @ms_mcgovern]

Samuel S. McClure was very impressed with the issues of McClure’s magazine created by 8th graders at McClure Junior High last Friday. Winners will be announced when we return to school on Wednesday! #MCBulldogs101 #WSD101

Inventions of the late-19th & early-20th Centuries meet Shark Tank! Excellent innovation in Lisa McGovern’s eighth-grade social studies class today! #WSD101
