Overheard during project time:
“Oh no, I am missing a triangle!”
Response from classmate:
“Don’t worry, I have an extra!”

President Jimmy Carter was a true friend to Habitat for Humanity and worked so tirelessly to make the world a better place. Please join us in remembering him and celebrating the positive impact he had on so many. #HonoringCarter
The happiest weekends are the ones spent in the company of people you love pursuing music, chores and togetherness …
This afternoon’s class began with me taking attendance and pausing for a breath before I could say the thing I always say and a 5th grader chiming in “don’t forget to say ‘thank you for coming to math today.’” - which brought a chuckle from all of us.
We’ve been working hard to keep our afternoons as chill and purposeful as our mornings, and I am happy to report that today we nailed it! You can’t even tell which picture was taken in the morning and which was at 2:50! Way to go, Pathfinders! @SLAMiddle
A proud moment for the Ironside Advisory when we spent most of advisory discussing how carved turnip are cooler and scarier than carved pumpkins… Many examples were offered!

Grateful to @one8alhub for giving @SHSBlueKnights the chance to visit @slanews via the ALLI program. Thanks to @chrislehmann & @TimothyMBoyle for sharing their vision/structures for transformational learning & to @MattRKay + @nironside13 for showing #appliedlearning in action.
It was a rocky start to the day, but Fun Friday with Ironside Advisory is pretty restorative.., @SLAMiddle
Visit your colleagues - especially the ones outside your discipline..
You will always learn something from them and the kids you share…
Lots of green tomatoes… hopefully the sun and warmth of the dining room will help them turn red. Growing food with the person you love is pretty damn great.
I have a new advisory - which means I get to learn about all the families.
This week, we are conferencing. It is a thrill to hear the hopes + dreams that families have for their kids.
It’s an honor to carry + support these as we do the messy work of middle school learning!

The framework of a fair, one-question quiz gives students the chance to show what they know and emphasizes understanding rather than grades. @nironside13 @edutopia

We took an assessment today, which is always a lift. Unless you make art after. Thank you, Aleem, for art and company.
When you get to learn in a place where people take care of you, it makes a difference. Even when you are the teacher..
Grateful for my @SLAMiddle people today.
