Secondary Education at MSU!

[Meredith Wright @msu_meredith]

I want to start something. Every week, I want to share one thing I learned from my students because as an educator, I should be taking home lessons from them as well as giving them mine.

@MrLosey Same, but with dog videos. It’s been ruff. 😂

Nothing says I’m a stressed out first year teacher like saying “what a typical Tuesday night” and then realizing it’s Wednesday.

@mb_dunn Oh Mandie, I do miss you❤️ I’m going to have to email you a long novel of my life just to chat!!

My kiddos watched Supersize Me! and are now creating ads and propaganda for McDonalds while listening to Disney music. What a good Thursday ☺️

Take the time to re-evaluate your efforts with them and reach out in a way that they understand and appreciate. 8th graders are young but so so so important in our world. #ThisWeekTaughtMe over 💕

I’ve missed some #ThisWeekTaughtMe so I’m going to catch up with a thread.

Look at the kids who may be the first to go to college in their family. Look at the amount of kids who want to be a doctor when they grow up to help people. Look at the kids just fighting through the day. Love them. #ThisWeekTaughtMe

I wish I could ask all of my students from last year what they’re up to RIGHT now just to see what they’re learning now

[Meredith Wright @msu_meredith]

@hhschiaravalli I hope this was the BEST time for them! Still thinking fondly of last year!

[Meredith Wright @msu_meredith]

@hhschiaravalli Exhausted but thriving and loving every minute!! I’ll be home in November before Thanksgiving....maybe I’ll drop in....

This week, I sorted my kids into groups using colored notecards and had them analyzing Romeo and Juliet through art and pictures.

In other words, I brought @hhschiaravalli to TX with me.

@MC_literacy @ me during my conference period at 10 am.

[Meredith Wright @msu_meredith]

For my #ThisWeekTaughtMe this week, I am still stuck thinking about it. My kids love Socratic Seminars and we had one about prejudice - leading to a lot of heartbreaking confessions.

Take time to tell your kids YOU love them. There’s a lot of “bad” in their lives. Be the good.

@MsBranigan2 @nearpod @EnglishEdTech I know what that life felt like about a week ago 😂

[Meredith Wright @msu_meredith]

@mb_dunn Time flies, doesn’t it ☺️❤️

[Meredith Wright @msu_meredith]

Also - first 6 week grading period complete!!

[Meredith Wright @msu_meredith]

Goooood morning! #ThisWeekTaughtMe that finding staff members who support you is the absolute best thing! Surround yourself with people who get you, get your problems, and get your kids. It makes collaboration and friendships much easier!
