The happiest weekends are the ones spent in the company of people you love pursuing music, chores and togetherness …

Class ended with the same student saying “class was really fun today and I’m excited about this project” which is why we do the work we do here at SLA-MS.

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

For the 2nd time this week, our Harris Walz sign was stolen from our front yard… Rude.

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 The Benefits of Giving One-Question Quizzes in Math https://t.co/1k7z8YveW6

Students can sometimes pass a traditional quiz without really knowing the material, but there’s no hiding with a one-question assessment.

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.
