STAAR kick off day was a success! Great conversations were had as students “dumped” their knowledge from the year and helped each other remember key facts. Never seen so much excitement about Federalists and Anti-federalists!

Brought in an investor today to hear my students pitch out their colonial regions! My students knocked their sales presentations out of the park with slides, costumes, brochures, treat handouts made from products grown in their regions, and even a music video! @IllianaGonzales

STAAR Review is in full swing. Court Cases of the Early Republic Spoons, Industrial Revolution Guess in 3, and Jenga Trivia for the win. Thanks @SSSuccess1 for the great resources! @SecondaryComal @PrmsVipers

BostonMassacre CSI is one of my favorite lessons. Students are engaged in reading primary source eyewitness accounts, collaborating, debating, and creating a statement to the jury on whether British troops committed murder or acted in self defense.@poormankim @ComalSocStudies

Once you are my student, you will always be my student! When a former student personally invites you to come watch them in the Nutcracker you make sure to be there!!!

Finding this in my 2nd grader’s folder made my U.S. History teacher heart so happy! My favorite part was her saying “you cannot hate” the flag. @ComalSocStudies @poormankim @IllianaGonzales

Spent a lot of time last weekend creating writing workshop, guided essay template, & peer editing to help students create well written essays for our Colonial Stock Prospectus PBL. Seeing results as I grade them make it all worth it! @poormankim @ComalSocStudies @PrmsVipers

Missing my students and remembering the fun we had in class the two days before Spring Break learning about Transcendentalism as well as art and literature in 19th Century America. @PrmsVipers

Student engagement was at an all time high last Friday! Constitution escape room was worth all the extra prep time.
