Fun day of @LEGO_Group Catapults as my @PLTWorg #design and modeling #Students wrapped up the #school year with a boys v girls battle.

State #Testing is done and the #students @VistaCharterLA deserved a much needed #celebration for their hard work. An afternoon of #NintendoSwich was the perfect way to do just that!

That’s a good looking @KaganOnline #RallyCoach @VistaCharterLA if I may say so myself.

I may have a @KaganOnline #LearningChips addiction.

My #Happy place. I can sit and enjoy #silence and a #clean #classroom for hours. It has taken YEARS to get my room to this point, but it was worth the begging, raising #money, and many @DonorsChoose #post.

#students #teambuilding @VistaCharterLA and using their senses to figure out what was being drawn on their back. It was a fun twist of the game telephone.

End of the #semester is always my favorite time of #school year. It is when my @PLTWorg #designandmodeling #students put their #puzzle cubes to the test.

Came across this book at our @Scholastic #bookfair and gave it a try. WOW! @adibkhorram wrote a page turner. This journey of #culture, #depression, #friendship, and #family struggles had me making mountains of connections. Can’t wait to start the next one.

As we begin getting into the work of the #school year, lots of #focus is required. How do we keep them focused? With @KaganOnline #silly #sports #BrainBreaks . Also, great to hear #laughter in the room!

Proud Moment when our @VistaCharterLA #alumni come in during their #summerbreak to give back and help our janitorial #team clear out the rooms and #paint to #help prep the #classrooms for next years #students . #proudteacher #teach #charterschool #ccsa #community

#SBA State #Testing takes a mountain of #focus. Providing some #creative time with @LEGO_Education bricks is always a nice way to let #students reset before they start again for the next test.

Do you enjoy #puzzles ? #students @VistaCharterLA did! These #essays were cut apart and they needed to use their #knowledge of #transition #words and #essay #structure to piece them back together.

Used @PlayDoh today for #reading #comprehension as we went through Bud, Not Buddy. #students loved it and were #engaged through the whole chapter.

When moments like this happen and #students are #engaged with #reading at this level, it’s puts a smile to this #teachers face. #flexseating #lakeshore #read #workshop @VistaCharterLA #middleschool #teacherlife #readinglife #ccsa #charterschool

Intro to #Argumentative #writing began with the #students seats going on #strike . They had to develop an argument with #evidence on why they should return. Great start to the unit!
