All year @acsabudhabi 8th gs incorporated poetry into their Hums learning. During our units on power and identity, they reflected and created their own poems to connect to the complex issues we study. The last week of school, we celebrated that journey! Thx Laura! #ACSLearns

Laura Silverman and I getting our classes together today to share thinking and do notebook tours at the end of our @TCRWP unit on narrative nonfiction! Great sharing and uncovering complexity from this group reading @PhillipHoose. #ACSLearns

When the @Timberwolves come to @acsabudhabi you know this MN teacher has to get out and meet @WolvesCrunch! #NBA #Minnesota #ACSPlays

Today @NealShusterman gave a writing workshop to the @acsabudhabi 8th graders today! So grateful for our amazing librarian, @Lawson_MaryE! #ACSLearns

@NealShusterman is visiting @acsabudhabi this week! Today, on the idea of drafting, he said, “My sixth draft is what I call draft one.” #ACSLearns

Accident prone! This time he’s been mauled by a polar bear to represent George from #TwoDegrees by @AlanGratz for book character day! @acsabudhabi #ACSLearns

2. Student feedback on the process

Overheard today when doing a facilitated discussion protocol with my students that required one of them to pretend as if they weren’t there: “No! She’s not here.“ “Oh! I can’t speak. What am I doing?” “Its not our turn to talk right now.” 😂 #ACSLearns

Today’s adventure in education - the #MESAC JV Soccer Tournament! Go Vipers! #ACSLearns

Looking across Scope & Sequence of all 8th grade classes to find areas to connect led us to this broad conceptual understanding. Is 8th grade @acsabudhabi all about relationships? Isn’t #MiddleSchool all about relationships? #ACSLearns
