Such an amazing event! We heard stories and sincere emotions of gratitude. I’m so proud of our students. And thank you to Mr. Dunn for allowing my own littles to tag along and do some good.

Some student generated questions throughout reading The Outsiders: ✨Is privilege the opposite of discrimination? ✨Can the absence of privilege lead to discrimination? ✨When we see discrimination, how can we look for privilege? Oh the genius!

For context: Grade 8s are analyzing The Outsiders through this lens: identities -> stereotypes -> discrimination & marginalization. We will end the unit by giving positive voice to youth identity. I cannot wait! #learning #engchat #equity #mschat

#BannedBooksWeek 2022! Celebrating our freedom to read. Ss analyzed some familiar and new texts by genre to make inferences as to why they’ve been banned. Both the thinking and reactions of shock & awe in the room today were intense! @WestIrondequoit

Starting small before going big! Humanities 8 Ss defining “changemaker”, providing examples of changemakers and their acts, digging into the term agency, and analyzing Bellen Woodard’s story. My folks are going to do great big wonderful things by the end of the semester!
