Don't let what you're afraid of keep you from what you were made for.

Shoutout to @SaraMRiley for all of the help and guidance! #bestlibrarianever ☺️📚

Students generated questions in groups to guide their research about different types of government. Today, the students organized their group as their specific type to build a tower and test the effectiveness of that type of government. So fun!! #campusbadges #CBL

Club days are our fav!!!! 🏆

Q3 - Down in C112, students are engaged in cooperative group activities and challenges daily. Team work makes the dream work!!!! #huntmiddlechat #campusbadges

Q2 - Canvas has been a great tool for communication with my students and parents. We post announcements, fill out a daily calendar, and post all of our lessons/study materials for students to access. Canvas is a one stop shop! #huntmiddlechat #campusbadges

Q1 - This year my students have used VR and 360 videos to experience different landmarks and physical features in different regions of the world. It gives students the opportunity to “go” to these places we are learning about! #huntmiddlechat #campusbadges

When the music stopped, sids shared their clues with others. @HuntMiddle @FISDsocstudies

We tried a new warm-up activity today - Prediction Café! We gave the students clues about the Chernobyl disaster and they made predictions about what happened before we started the lesson. So fun! @HuntMiddle @FISDsocstudies

Students taking a VR tour of Europe! #worldcultures #campusbadges

Upon completion of the 30 hours of GT training, I feel like I really understand how to differentiate instruction for my GT students! I can’t wait to implement these strategies in my classroom! #campusbadges
