It’s time for a #SocraticSeminar! Kids are engaging in thoughtful discussion about themes in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The outer circle is participating through a #Padlet and kids are peer grading with a rubric! #empowerCMS @jenajonescms @teacherPtweets @AshleyGableCMS

With voice + choice, middle school Ss love reading! Each S selected their own book for our #IndependentNovelProject and every S is engaged with a book! #WIN #increasingthevolumeofreading @TCBOE @AshleyGableCMS @jenajonescms @teacherPtweets #empowerCMS #TweetoftheWeek

Today in reading intervention, we are doing a genre based #BookTasting to determine which book the students want to read for their end of the year project. Increasing the volume of reading! @AshleyGableCMS @jenajonescms @teacherPtweets @TCBOE #empowerCMS #TweetoftheWeek

Computational thinking breakout session led by @MrsBrown_CMS for our #ELA and #SocialStudies teachers! @jenajonescms @teacherPtweets @TCBOE #EmpowerCMS

Loved hearing about all the texts selected to create #LiteracyRich #Collaborative #PBL units! #LiteracyChallenge #genres #ComplexTexts @jenajonescms @teacherPtweets @TCBOE @BrookeMorganEdD #EmpowerCMS #IncreasetheVolumeofReading

@MrsBrown_CMS is creating so much engagement in her classroom that students are studying their parts to read! #EmpowerCMS #Lookatyougo #Cburgmiddle @AshleyGableCMS @jenajonescms @teacherPtweets @TCBOE

High levels of #engagement with a #Shakespeare text happening right now in @MrsBrown_CMS classroom! #ComplexTexts #Increasingthevolumeofreading #Literacy #EmpowerCMS @jenajonescms @teacherPtweets @TCBOE @emilybharris @BrookeMorganEdD

My biggest takeaway from today’s #LiteracyPD on #WritingTraits is learning how to use a RAFT writing format to narrow focus on ideas + clarify writing purpose! @jenajonescms @AshleyGableCMS @teacherPtweets #empowerCMS

Reading “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” on this beautiful afternoon! #APlayonWords @jenajonescms @teacherPtweets @AshleyGableCMS #empowerCMS

For our PBL #APlayonWords entry event, Ss are doing a #ShakespeareFlipHunt around the Grid! Ss are completing creative research tasks about Shakespeare’s life and work. @jenajonescms @teacherPtweets @AshleyGableCMS @TCBOE #empowerCMS #TweetoftheWeek

Ss are creating an innovative product and then creating an advertisement using logos, ethos, and pathos to sell their product. Anyone in the market for an app that corrects basketball technique or self washing cars? #STEAM #empowerCMS @TCBOE

Fridays are for rain and thunder sounds while we annotate Bradbury’s “All Summer in a Day.” SLIME acted as a perfect thematic analysis scaffold! Deep thinking in Mrs. Brown’s room today! #empowerCMS @jenajonescms @teacherPtweets @AshleyGableCMS @activelylearn

One way to make blended lessons more engaging + purposeful is to level up on SAMR and provide creative opportunities to show mastery! #empowerCMS @jenajonescms @AshleyGableCMS @TCBOE @teacherPtweets

This student is making boxes to represent her interest in business world! #DLDay @OfficialDLDay @jenajonescms @jackscms @AshleyGableCMS @TCBOE @Cburgmiddle #empowerCMS

Creating haikus + origami to represent our passions, then creating a digital poster in the afternoon session! These kids are EXCITED about this and having a blast! @AshleyGableCMS @Cburgmiddle @jenajonescms @jackscms #empowerCMS @OfficialDLDay #dld #DigitalLearningDay

Creating digital posters presenting a problem in the field of art and a possible solution! #empowerCMS #DLDay #DigitalLearningDay @TCBOE @jenajonescms @jackscms @AshleyGableCMS @Cburgmiddle

Adding this to my summer reading list for sure.

Today in small group we close read a passage for the central idea, used #computationalthinking to identify repeated words, then used those words to craft a sentence stating the central idea! Everyone else: comparing and contrasting arguments in two articles. #empowerCMS

.@MrsBrown_CMS is teaching an awesome small group lesson. Ss are analyzing a text for author’s claim and will create a plan for an analysis essay! #EmpowerCMS @jenajonescms @jackscms @tcboe #SmallGroupinSecondary
