An amazing night with @HarlemWizards supporting HFMS #charactereducation 🏀🐝 #hornetpride


First four corners debate of the year and the students were amazing! Giving them the tools and platform to EFEECTIVELY argue by listening to one another and responding by name.

Our students are enjoying their Friday restorative circle tradition so much that they get upset thinking they’ll miss it on tomorrow’s day off. So that means a surprise Thursday circle on our classroom monthly trait, EMPATHY! #charactereducation #restorativepractices

When half the class is out for a field trip but the remaining students excitedly ask “DOES THIS MEAN WE GET EXTRA INDEPENDENT READING TIME?!”. My heart just about exploded. #youngreaders #booklovers #readingrocks

It’s been awhile since I’ve tweeted but super proud of my new 7th graders for presenting their dystopia research presentations with such confidence and zest! Excited for the rest of the year with this new group! @apapapateacher

Philosophical chairs debate gave students the opportunity to EFFECTIVELY argue about a controversial topic. Students who are normally hesitant to participate really embraced the activity and came to the “hot seat”! #pembertoninnovates #proudteacher

I have accepted the challenge from my PTS colleague @HFLITerature to post 7 covers of books I LOVE: no explanation, no review - just cover. Each time I post, I’ll ask someone else to take up the challenge. One cover a day for a week. My Day 2 nomination is @Ms_Mortensen

Shout out to @Miss_Belko! Two of our students quickly divided up a short story text into thirds by looking at the amount of paragraphs and dividing by three. Now they’re holding me accountable for saying “we’re just reading a third of the story today” #theygotme


Students creating materials to teach their classmates about inspirational leaders and the character words they exemplify. #studentsasteachers #pembertoninnovates @daniellesteen2 @Mr_Corliss @Miss_Mc_Q

Round robin dystopian storytelling! Students created fictional dystopias by switching with group members every 7 minutes. 40 minutes of structured writing without getting bored or stuck with writer’s block! #pembertoninnovates

Continuing our practice with characterization through character instagrams. Students loved getting the opportunity to express their creativity and embrace social media language. #pembertoninnovates
