Powerful learning takes place when students are learning from each other! Today's mini-lesson is diction/word choice. #teamUMS @LisaGuardino

Here is one of my favorite lessons to do every year with Design Thinkers, Leadership, or any content area that would like to work on school culture & add their voices to the elective choices being offered: Invent THAT Class! bit.ly/32RVRbL #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

Our fabulous UMS Site Technology person, Mrs. Adams, not only provides prompt service, but does it with a smile (see it in her eyes?) And, she always asks me how I'm doing. True kindness. #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

A huge 💐 to @AnnaLeunga for her help with my questions about health benefits. She promptly and carefully walked me through what I needed to do and let me know when the process was completed! #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

Today we used Legos to create/explain something connected to our realistic fiction short story. Thanks to @LisaGuardino for making the activity from my "we need something kinesthetic and verbal for students to do after returning from vacation" ramble! #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

2020 was not just "the year of COVID," it was the year we lost all three of our senior cats. Fast forward to now: meet Newton, Darwin, and Ada. Our hearts are full. ❤️ #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

Saturday mornings mean hiking with Snapper, @mil_tastic, and Star the dog. Today's route took us 5.8 miles through parts of Quicksilver County Park. #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

Saw an awesome culminating debate lesson by @mszangwill today: Should students be allowed to listen to music during class? Students vs. Mr. Feinberg. I even got to be a judge! #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

🧦 Deep gratitude to my colleague and friend @msfraboni for taking the 3,000 pairs of socks to Sacred Heart that UMS collected in our Socktober Drive. #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

This book is life-changing, illuminating, and has truly helped me learn how to be a better human. (Next up--the hard, intentional work of putting the words into action.) "What if the whole world committed to being 1 percent more Kind?" #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4 @houstonkraft

Each week, three groups of students from Leadership 7 teach the class: Food for Thought, Asset of the Week, and Team Building. Their presos are completely custom-made. Students teaching students is empowering. #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4
