In GT 7th ELA, we are working on a project called “Who’s Invited to Dinner?” which combines problem solving , design , lots of creativity , research and biographies. My question for you is … which six people / characters make your guest list ? Here’s mine!

hello ! good morning ! just a reminder that school prepares kids for real life but it isn’t real life, and you’ll get further offering a ton of grace rather than withdrawing it ! ✨

Me: “Hows the writing going? You good? You need help?” Kid: “I’m good.” Me: “Show me.” Kid: … Me: (heads over) “C’mon. Show me.” Kid: (furious clicking, dragging, closing of tabs, random music abruptly playing, “game over” chimes then… blank google doc.) Kid: “I’m stuck.” 🥹
