Students had fun learning about each other in this morning’s ‘group share’ activity.

@TheMsBalmes is so creative! Last week, we brought mercantilism to life in class—split into groups, students traded goods to simulate the Navigation Acts. The energy and engagement were off the charts, and the learning was unforgettable! #d73inspires #HistoryInAction #handson

Once upon a time an incident occurred in Boston in 1770. Today with the help of @Lilllibrarian our amazing kiddos @HawthornMSN73 put on their investigator caps to analyze evidence and documents. What we found was a whole lot of propaganda! 🤣😉 #learningcanbefun

Passion and energy are contagious 🙌When you walk into a room do you pour energy in or let it out?
The results are profound.

I love work with @TheMsBalmes and her classes in the library. Ss dove into researching the incredible inventions from the Industrial Revolution last week and this week they took a look at the lives of immigrants from Ireland, China and Germany! We all learned so many new things!

The culture of a school is created by everyone in the school. Walk in a school and see how the front office staff talks and interacts or the custodians or teachers in the hallway. Yes the admin influences it but everyone is ultimately responsible for the culture of a school.
