Open your questions to encourage students to take a risk. Notice how the absolute questions suggest the teacher is searching for a right answer. The inviting questions encourage students to consider/share their ideas. #TeachPos #HackingQs

Love seeing our students dressed so nicely for promotion pics ❤️ (even if some hide it under hoodies😂) #bms_now #bms8

Stay gold, kids. Stay gold.

Spirit days and the uncovering of clues.. all leading to the big reveal of a book to read as a family... Is there anything NOT to love about this?? Thanks to my childrens’ school for all you do to promote a love of reading in my Little Readers and all of your students❤️ CCSD93

I ❤️ this idea! Hey 8th grade teachers- maybe we can decide on a class of Ss and pre-write postcards tomorrow? @Murphy_teachSS @MrsARudy Ms. Fabbri @TAlvarez_129 @mrscieslabms Mr. Delaney Argiro Vranas Mr Hanley Cora Popescu @JCrane227 Laura Ellsworth #bms_now

So grateful to help distribute promotion signs to 8th graders on Friday! 💚💛 That gratitude extends to my kids, who waited in the minivan while I distributed.. and to the creator of automobile DVD players... 😉 #bms8 #bms_now #BMS_IBelong

Thanks Laura Ellsworth and Mary Novak for having one final Zoom session with our little group. Everyone did a great job on our scavenger hunt! So proud of all that these Ss achieved this year, and excited to see what they accomplish in high school 🥰.

Still feeling exhilarated from Thursday night- it was so nice to see co-workers and Ss (from afar 😉.) The kids were so happy to see us all, so proud in their gowns; it was just such a lovely evening in such an uncertain time. Thanks to everyone who helped to make it happen 💚💛
