February 14, 2019

This is my favorite activity of the year! Students sit across from other students (rotating partners) to talk about their favorite book. An entire class period of talking about books...a teacher's dream! It's fun, engaging and students get an eye on good books their peers are reading! 























February 6, 2019 Engineering Day! 
Mrs. Lund, Mrs. Warby and Mrs. Robins come together to watch students, using Darwin's Gallegos Finch findings, create the best beak for birds. Props to Mrs. Lund for making the magic happen!





































October 31, 2018 What do you get when you mix students from Mrs. Robins, Mrs. Lund and Mrs. Warby on Halloween, solving the problem of cleaning up after an oil spill?? You get a well planned Engineering Day and a whole lot of FUN!!!

Our last big activity: iRead 40 Club Party!! Enjoy the pictures and a big thanks to those who qualified!! 











































Image result for spotlight students
Every year I've taught, I have students fill out a "Random Student" form and I spotlight them at the end of the year with a picture I write on and an email home. Each student matters to me and it's important they know it:)  I hope they'll check the blog as they get older and see how much they've changed over the years!

Image result for american flag, south korea flag


February 2017
The students had a great opportunity to enjoy spending time with Ms. Sharon Kim, a Korean intern who visited our class for the last 10 days. Ms. Kim was great to be involved and on her last day taught students how to make origami helicopters and the Honors class enjoyed making traditional Korean shoes while learning about culture. It was a unique opportunity to learn about another country and for Ms. Kim to see how the American education system works. She loved being around the students and we thank her for all her help & wish her all the best as she pursues her teaching degree.

Halloween Fun!!
















9/18: Today we practiced identifying transition words by placing green, yellow or red candies on a passage. This helps the students recognize the type and function of specific transition words...and it was FUN!
1st period












3rd period









4th period












Edivate Filming
This was an amazingly unique opportunity to be filmed for Edivate (a professional development/evaluation site for teachers). I just couldn't be any prouder of my 6th period Honors classes. They were phenomenal today demonstrating what high level learning looks like in Language Arts. Way to go guys!  They are more photos coming soon. 





























*Scroll Down for Pictures Throughout the School Year!  Enjoy!!

Mustaches are still fun and popular, so the annual end-of-year-mustache-pictures live on! Enjoy! Students fill out a spotlight form called "Random Student" all about themselves then post with the 'stache. I print the pictures and write a message on the back for students so they can remember how wonderful they are:). It's a fun way to finish the year!

Early in the year, we had a Reading Party for Gecko Enrichment.  
Here are some shots from 5th  period:











Zack from 6th entertains us with his puns:)

Sarah from 1st just served up an awesome Book-in-a-Bag book report!

It's A Job Unit 
I didn't take as many as I wanted but here are some with students working hard and with their finished products:).  SO proud of everyone's hard work!
*Sorry Peer-Tutors, I think you were gone when I took these--I'll get you later in the year!



Rachel B. and I getting into the mood of Mustache Day!

















Classes were able to enjoy some amazing choir performances for one of our Gecko Days!



Brilliant 1st Period created a conflicted Minion for our Halloween Door Decoration Contest.  We didn't win, but, we sure had a lot of FUN!!


Happy Halloween! 






Loved being a witch with Brooklyn A.--check out our cute hats!


Visiting Shrek: The Musical and SCHS for a very special LA WOW Gecko Day!

Shots from our fantastic Veteran's Day Flag Ceremony 









Way to go Ellee A!! You sang beautifully:)

Fun Fine Arts Assembly!





...And Here is the Video!





So...remember the amazing Frozen Assembly?  I can't embed it on my blog, but here is the link to watch it from home...



























2012-2013 
I "Mustache" You a Question... or Should I "Shave" it for Later?


I do a "Random Student of the Week" Spotlight to help students get to know each other better.  I had a fun idea to take pics of student with a mustache sticker which I'll put on a bulletin board.  Since mustaches are the new, hilarious thing in 7th grade--the student seemed excited and I've been laughing at these cute pictures!  I'll update every week.  Gosh, I love these guys!

Despite my best efforts, here are a few students who slipped under my mustache radar and I ran out of mustaches. :(

Reasons to Live
It has been agonizing to have 2 of my students pass away this year and to see so many students struggle in the aftermath.  Inspired by a YouTube Video on "100 Reasons to Live"--our Language Arts team had students bring a picture and write their 24 Reasons to Live and give their project as a gift to their parents/grandparents.  I was so touched with what the kids wrote.







Argumentation Projects

I was pretty impressed with the quality of final projects for our Argumentation Unit where students researched and argued for their favorite M & M.  I have THE most amazing 7th graders in the world!  Unfortunately, I don't have all the PowerPoints/Prezi projects too but the essays & posters are pretty cool!
















Parts of Speech Scavenger Hunt Pictures


This was fun a very fun Gecko Day in February 2013 where student were able to use their electronic devices in a race around the school to take pictures of Parts of Speech.  Some students emailed me what they did and here they are...enjoy!


It's A Job Posters

This was a fun unit as students learned Parts of Speech and Sentences then transferred them onto a poster as they worked in groups and learned about different careers.  The posters were awesome! Here everyone is with their posters in their groups!










Another group drew a spy that looks exactly like Jalin!  Here is Jalin with his spy twin, Jeffrey!






















Super Gecko Day, Friday September 13th
A big thanks to everyone for doing such a great job!!

Tucker dominating the 1st period Trivia Game (go Elgen!)
