It may be summer break for students but some MBP staff attended the AVID Conference this week to learn, goal set, and plan for next school year! We're excited about sharing new ideas at Pollard! #MBPmustangs #saddleup #OneChatham

Using the @HolocaustMuseum online resources to create ID cards for victims of the Holocaust. Definitely a powerful for both the 8th grade students and their teachers! “Behind Every Voice, A Story” @ilengelb @MBPollard

This week our 8th Graders at @MBPollard created “X-Ray Profiles” for people involved in the American Civil War and I was SO impressed with the final products! I’m so thankful to have an amazing PLC partner like @ilengelb to do innovative projects with.

Really proud of our 8th grade Social Studies students at @MBPollard! This week they presented their “Unsung Heroes of the Civil Rights Movement” projects, and they absolutely blew us away.

Something that makes me proud is when my students overcome the difficulties of virtual learning! Breakout rooms in zoom class can be tough, but I love to see students working together to think critically like they did for this activity #chathamdigitallearning @MBPollard

I love Pear Deck because it allows me to hear from students who I might not otherwise hear from in such large classes. It was especially great during one of my favorite lessons this year - discussing "The Hill We Climb" by Amanda Gorman! #chathamdigitallearning @MBPollard

BIG Shoutout to my co-worker @ilengelb who works tirelessly to create phenomenal digital lessons for the 6th grade Virtual Academy at @MBPollard! Today, she taught Hammurabi's Code using @PearDeck. We love and appreciate you Ms. Engelbrekt! #chathamdigitallearning

BIG shoutout to the one and only @LizPasqTeaches for always inspiring me with her lessons (in both ELA & SS)! Today it was using Jeopardy to review concepts with students. Here is the template she used - and graciously shared with me!! @MBPollard #chathamdigitallearning

This snowball microphone really improves sound over zoom - a great tool to have as a VA teacher. And it's important my kids can hear me during class, especially when we cover cool topics like the Code of Hammurabi! @MBPollard @ChathamCoSch #chathamdigitallearning

Today, my 6th grade ELA students used the chat feature in zoom to share text evidence of characterization they found in our novel, The Watsons Go to Birmingham! It was great to hear from so many students! @MBPollard @ChathamCoSch #chathamdigitallearning

In the final stages of the construction of the co-teaching/interdisciplinary studies website! Hope it will be a useful and interesting resource for teachers looking to learn more about those topics. #EDUC755 #construction

After some brainstorming @michellemmunoz9 and I decided it would be both interesting and beneficial to create a website about coteaching/interdisciplinary studies for other educators to use and learn from! #EDUD755 #making

Continuing to explore interdisciplinary teaching, and co-teaching with a colleague who teaches literature. Found this interesting article about interdisciplinary curriculum which may help further my understanding of these topics. #EDUC755 #development ascd.org/publications/books/…
