Today, 412 future leaders from 27 campuses gather for the Middle School Debate tournament to tackle topics like artificial intelligence, public safety, and more! Debate boosts academic success, confidence, and leadership skills. Good luck to all! πŸ†#WINWIN

A little dictionary relay competition never fails to get students invested in their learning (and help them identify elements of dictionary entries)! Shoutout to 7th grade for beating the 8th graders in today’s battle!

Paraphrase practice and opinion-based responses from Volume II of Frankenstein! Had a student tell me β€œI thought I was going to hate this book, but it’s so fun to read!” which truly was the highlight of the week. Can’t wait for Volume III! @SolarSTEAMGirls @DallasReads

STEAM Friday involved lots of ~spooky~ crafts in middle school today!! 7th graders got to paint and launch mini pumpkins, while 8th graders assembled movable skeleton hands. A fearfully fantastic way to end the week! @MsRudd_Math @SolarSTEAMGirls

Cannot get over this email from a student who wanted to express appreciation for a creative project I gave her class. The fact that she’s being completely sincere?? Ugh I love it πŸ₯Ή

Finished a book for the first time in two months last night πŸ₯³ (the school year has me TIREDT!) Now the question is, to keep this momentum going, do I reward myself by buying a new book since none of the ones on my bookshelf are really calling out to me?? πŸ“š
100% Yes, always buy the book
0% Nope, read what you have!

Gonna ignore what I CAN’T control (another terrible edutwitter discourse about K-12 teachers apparently not being good enough at our jobs) and focus on what I CAN control (the way I kept myself from crying when my students provided the sweetest validation this evening πŸ₯Ή)

Like yall. Say what you will about middle school girls, and there are many things to say, but they are HANDS DOWN the greatest student demographic to work with 🫢🏽
