We’re off to a great start celebrating fifth grade this week as they say Aloha to middle school… @WeAreNolanOwls @teachinglex

Afterwards, we presented our findings to the rest of the class in order to decide what **truly** would provide a base and evidence for our body paragraphs. Excited to continue the discussion tomorrow as we review the strategies for writing each piece of an expository essay!

[Lexie Russell ☀️ @teachinglex]

Seeing my students write affirmations in their books will never get old. Collaborating during writing to clear up misconceptions today was fun. Each group was to analyze a different source and then identify the information that would support our prompt.

LTN Student Leader Induction Ceremony was phenomenal! These student leaders were charged by a great Keynote speaker to be an OWL- WISE, A THINKER, and one that does not have to travel in packs. “They learned to keep their “swivel” on! and I am grateful❤️@WeAreNolanOwls
