I couldn't have asked for better classes this year, but it makes it that much harder to say goodbye. Don't worry though, you can't get rid of me that easily; I'll see you around! #sublife#teamums#USDlearns
Transmitting memories through dramatic readings and visualization. Do memories matter? Are negative events worth remembering? What value does the past hold? #TheGiver#USDlearns
Either my students led a full on classroom rebellion or they've got a solid understanding of utopias and dystopias. What do you think? Shoutout to my guest teacher who managed this crazy activity. So brave!! #USDlearns
DEBATE DAY! This unit has me MAJORLY regretting not doing debate in high school. We've had so much fun as a class that I don't think my 7th graders will make the same mistake. #competitivesports
I didn't even ask these kids to collaborate. They immediately flocked together and began strategizing as soon as they heard they'd be on the same debate team. #theartofargument#usdlearns#teamums
A 5th period student was able to observe the loops and swirls on my fingerprints to determine that I likely have European and Asian roots. (Which I do!!) #FierceWondering#USDlearns#teamUMS
Had fun being an 8th grade science teacher for part of 2nd period today. Learned about a new Alzheimer’s predictor during News and Views and then got watch a lab demonstrating moon crators!
Annotating nonfiction signposts AND assigned partners!?! A recipe for frowns is yielding smiles thanks to the power of collaboration and cooperation. #noticeandnote#teamums#usdlearns
