Middle Level Educators are struggling with the dramatic changes in young adolescents. It is hard to engage &connect with kids. They are easy to anger, struggle with emotions, lost their filter regarding respect and have a lack of focus in school. Time for new ideas and solutions

Thank you for coming to speak to our classes today; our students had a lot of good questions. Kids left with more knowledge about farming and a better idea of how growing food is a healthy choice for themselves and others. Thank you @growinghome

So many good moments today! Kids sang a spontaneous happy birthday song for me. A kid that I taught remotely snuck over to the other side of the building because she “just wanted to finally meet me for real.” And we finished our first SS unit; look at these Neolithic villages!

I am not sure how much George W. Bush has a hand in authoring the speeches that he gives, but they are generally rhetorically solid and pleasant to the ear. I can also appreciate his statesmanship as a former president.

I am finally starting to teach the unit that I made at Yale this summer. We read “Working at Wendy’s” and had a great discussion about stereotypes that people have about fast food workers. Kids came away realizing that there is dignity in all work.

Can anyone give me an example of hyperbole?
Class: *stares blankly*
Does anyone know a “your mom” joke?
Class: *thirty hands shoot up in the air*
Please write and share an example of hyperbole in your notes.
Class: *Four minutes of furious writing and laughter ensues*

When you assign an essay, give daily reminders about the due date, give extra credit to give feedback before the final draft is due, and the day finally comes for the final draft to be handed in. My face today...

The kids had a good time today reading and discussing the dinner table (aka the fight scene) in The Miracle Worker. It is such a great whole class experience to read together.

This sunset was beautiful. I think I am going to get it printed on a canvas.

What else don’t we know about a brutal murder that made national headlines and galvanized the country’s burgeoning civil rights movement? #EmmetTill bit.ly/2JiYMdO
