One of ❤️ writing projects this year- A Picture’s Worth 500 Words. Students used famous paintings as their writing prompt and created a story around it. #thewestway #wawmproud @DottkePBLHS
Our two collaborative art installations we did throughout this year. In ❤️! #thewestway #wawmproud @DottkePBLHS #artteacher
Third “Still I Rise” @DottkePBLHS in the books. I love that I get to build this stage with them. 🩷 #wawmproud #thewestway
@JasonReynolds83 I gave a male student their own copy of LWD today. They said they can’t remember the last time they held a real book. They came to me 3 hours later, finished, and in tears (in the best way). Thank you for what you do. #wawmproud @DottkePBL

Been awhile… here’s some pics of finished tapestries we did as part of our fiber arts unit. @DottkePBL #wawmproud
Thank you @Oddwillows for coming in and hosting a miniature painting session for our D&D seminar! The kids LOVED it! It was great nerding out with you! @DottkePBLHS #wawmproud #pbl #dnd #localbusiness
Today, @mburton28 & I took our Crews to @urbanecology Center. They helped clean up the Hank Aaron Trail while touring their community gardens in prep to make our own at school. It was an awesome day to wrap up our school-wide project work! Thank you UEC! @DottkePBLHS #wawmproud
On Wednesday, I took my Art students to the @MilwaukeeArt Museum. So many of them have never been to a museum, so it filled my heart with joy seeing them awestruck by the amazing art. I was so grateful to enjoy it with them. #wawmproud @DottkePBLHS
On Monday, I took 51 students and 12 chaperones to the Milwaukee Public Museum. It was worth it to see so many students excited for the experience (and exhausted on the ride back). I wish I got more pictures, but the day flew by! @DottkePBLHS #mpm #wawmproud
This was my favorite project from Art this year. The kids had so much fun and I loved their process in creating their scenes. #wawmproud @DottkePBLHS

This was one of my favorite projects from Art this year. It was definitely a “trust-the-process” project and I can’t wait to do it again next year. #wawmproud @DottkePBLHS
During yesterday’s grammar lesson, I admittedly didn’t understand what we were learning about. My brain wasn’t computing. But the students totally got it… (1/2)

… The Ss started teaching me the difference between conjunctions and we had a dialogue about why I was stuck and how they helped me get over my own hurdle. Don’t be afraid to admit you’re stuck. This is learning. #wawmproud

Thank you to everyone who supported our event last month. We were able to beat last year and raise $220 for the Milwaukee Women's Center. 💜 We will see you next year! @dottkepblhs #wawmproud
I am just so grateful for @papagoose_cw for everything he’s done for our Still I Rise event before break, including video editing each individual piece and creating this incredible intro (voiced by the class). 💜 #wawmproud @DottkePBLHS youtube.com/watch?v=QAZM0qnm…
I am so grateful that I got to have yet another amazing group of Ss to host our 2nd “Still I Rise” event. 💜 We didn’t get a formal group shot, but I didn’t fall off the stage this year. 🤷♀️ #wawmproud @DottkePBLHS #WomensHistoryMonth #studentvoices
Doing a brainstorming/gallery walk/feedback for our Still I Rise pieces. S’s talked about the empathy they felt for their peers & their experiences, & even if they didn’t feel like they could give feedback, they left kind messages for their peers to read! @DottkePBLHS #wawmproud
