And if you don't think 8th graders like #ReadAlouds, this is a comment from the student responses to the story, "Hey. Today didn't start off a good day for me but the story made it a lot better." #SEL โค๏ธ๐
What a great end to the week! Our #ReadAloud was @bradmeltzer's "I am Amelia Earhart". Just like her, my awesome Grade 8 @HandMiddleSC students "know no bounds". We are doing what others said couldn't be done & excelling during Hybrid learning.#ScienceIsHappening@ABuchanan_Sci
Thankful for books like this and guiding questions from @ABRAMSbooks. So proud of these students and their concern for others and their awareness that they may not feel brave or like an advocate and that's ok, too. #ProudHornet
Responses ranged from "riding a roller coaster" to "standing up to bullies" to "calling out racism" to "speaking in class b/c I'm shy" to "standing up for a friend when no one else would".
