This is such a great post! I have often dreamed about connecting my 5th grade classroom to a HS classroom so that I could collaborate around some incredible learning experiences. In this fantasy, both classrooms are close in proximity and while the HS students are reading Their Eyes Were Watching God, the 5th graders could be studying man versus nature and completing a complimentary project. I love the idea of taking a high-rigor project and differentiating it back to my 5th graders.
Oh man…all the mistakes I’ve made…I think the entirety of my first two years of teaching was just one mistake after another.

Thanks for the shoutout! I appreciate it.
