Ms. Generazio's art students reflected on gratitude in a beautiful and meaningful way, using thoughtful prompts to explore ideas such as strengths, memories, challenges, and nature before expressing those reflections through vibrant, hand-crafted leaves. The leaves have now come together to form a stunning Gratitude Tree in the art room, filled with color, creativity, and heartfelt messages. This project showcases a powerful blend of artistic expression and emotional reflection, reminding us all of the many things we have to be thankful for this season. Fantastic work, Panthers, and thank you, Ms. Generazio, for inspiring both creativity and gratitude in your classroom! #PanthersRISE

Ms. Kerr’s ELD English students strengthened their understanding of how an author’s story structure and writing choices develop meaning as they revisited The Gift of the Magi and practiced identifying key plot elements to uncover theme. Students analyzed exposition, rising action, climax, and resolution using both a digital Pear Deck activity and a hands-on sorting task, then applied their learning to explain how important events contribute to a story’s big idea. With guidance from Ms. Kerr and ELL assistant Ms. Tinoco, students practiced oral language skills and built academic vocabulary. They deepened their comprehension by comparing responses and discussing their thinking—great work that builds confidence and strengthens essential reading skills. #PanthersRISE

Ms. Johnson’s 12th-grade ELA students deepened their understanding of The Canterbury Tales by exploring how Chaucer used satire, irony, and tone to reveal social commentary about his characters. After reviewing key examples from the text, students worked collaboratively to analyze selected passages from the Prologue, identifying which pilgrims were being described and the sins or virtues represented by unpacking Chaucer’s word choice and meaning. #PanthersRISE

Ms. Meadors’s juniors strengthened their critical reading and argument analysis skills by identifying claims, examining rhetorical appeals, and supporting their interpretations with textual evidence. They practiced distinguishing ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos and analyzing how word choice reveals an author’s purpose. Students then applied these skills as they read Civil Disobedience, using context clues, background information, and guided questioning to deepen their understanding of Thoreau’s complex ideas. #PanthersRISE
