I asked the kids to give a one-word reflection of the year - Glad to see how many positive words were used! I will miss this great group of 6th graders next year!
Came back after four days off and look what I got! An orginal drawing from a student just because. Made my day❤️

Found out today that I’ll be presenting at this year’s @OCTELA - excited to do this!!
Our monthly open mic lunch was fantastic! The original pieces presented were awesome!! Love their creativity and how they took risks in their writing.

Created our own class rubrics today for our mini-memoirs. This was a first for my students. How did they like it?...and I quote “Can we do this again?” ❤️❤️❤️ #wearemaumee
We had a GREAT turnout for our first Open Mic Lunch! Lots of students begging to read their writing pieces to their peers! ❤️ #wearemaumee #owp

Some of the comments on students' Flipgrid reflections include: "I am proud of myself," "I am more comfortable with my writing," and "I can't believe I wrote this."
This is why I love what I do.

Do you hear that? Their ideas are just typing away - from stories to lists, these kids have a boatload of ideas! #wearemaumee
Punctuation power! Students using their prior knowledge to help identify punctuation marks and their purposes.

When the whole class must change their view in order to see a different perception: perfection. #newperspective #eyebombing
First day of school: I got to hear students’ perceptions of writing. Glad to see many words like “fun,” “imaginative” and “amazing.” Can’t wait to see how their writing progresses throughout the year! #wearemaumee
