Personalized Learning!
HELLO!!!!
In the HSSD, we have an initiative to personalize learning-giving students voice, choice, path, plan, pace, etc.
In Ms. Wenzel's room learners have a voice and a choice to use Apps to demonstrate their understanding and levels of performance of LA and writing benchmarks/standards. One of the many Apps we use is Toontastic. I gave students the choice to use it to create a conversation-between two or more characters. Students also did this on Notability, Story Creator and Explain Everything.

Fashion Show
Hello!!
Today Nelson House had a Fashion Show with the Beach House. Our students wrote descriptive and detailed scripts using juicy adjectives to describe an outfit they would be wearing. Additionally, they needed to choose music to go along with their scripts. As the students walked down the red carpet, I read their scripts describing their outfits. Congrats, Nelson House and Beach House for being a star not only on the red carpet, but as a student, everyday!
Have a great weekend,

Theme Bottles
Hello!
Yesterday in Language Arts and Writing, Nelson House wrote letters about their Book Club Books. In the letters they needed to identify the theme of their book and support their theme choice with three text details. They also used their 21st Century Skills as they collaborated with their partners to decorate the bottles and get the bottles ready to present to another block. I will have another block read each others' letters and critique them.
