So thankful to #NCTE and @KristinRunyon for the awesome idea on how to connect ideas from our entire 9 weeks! 8th grade students did great analyzing/discussing how themes, literary elements, vocab, and text evidence connected all the way through our "trying times" unit #LMSPats

Awesome start to the year! Students debated whether the narrator of “The Tell-Tale Heart” was guilty of first degree murder or not guilty by reason of insanity, and for the first time in all the years I’ve done this, every. single. student participated! #lmspats #8thela

So proud of my girl Kaylee!! I loved teaching her this year and seeing her grow so much!
Congratulations Kaylee! Kaylee pushed herself in English this school year. Even when frustrated, she never gave up. She grew so much as a reader & writer. Proud of her willingness to open herself up, ask questions, & share her love of reading. #LMSPATS #TeamDCS #RaiseTheBar

I’ve talked to so many parents today checking in on my students. Hearing back from them made my heart so happy, and it continually confirmed how much I miss my students! #distancelearning #missmystudents #lmspats

I’ve loved reading through my students’ first day responses! What’s so surprising is how so many students say they’d rather be in school! #distancelearning #missmystudents #lmspats
