Today’s #vocabularyreview was a hit! For this bell ringer, I gave my students the #definitions of five words, and they had to come up with sentences using them. It’s always a fun and engaging way to start class, and of course, they learned something new! The word that stumped them the most? Curator—but we got there! the five words: • #Stellar: Extremely good • #Alumni: Previous graduate • #Curator: Museum collector • #Imminent: About to happen • #Alma mater: School attended in the past This activity never disappoints and sets a great tone for #learning. #grammar #newvocabulary #VocabularyReview #BellRingerActivity #MiddleSchoolVocabulary #TeachingWithFun #LearnNewWords #ClassroomEngagement #GrammarAndVocabulary #StellarLesson #WordOfTheDay #MiddleSchoolTeacher #TeachingEnglish #VocabularyChallenge #BuildingLanguageSkills #FunWithWords #TeachersOfTikTok

In this lesson, we broke down the difference between occupation and career, two words that people often think are interchangeable but have distinct meanings. We defined each term, explored examples, and applied them to real-life scenarios—including my own career and occupation! By the end of the lesson, students were able to differentiate the two and reflect on how understanding these words can shape their perspectives about their future. Expanding your vocabulary can change the way you see the world—let’s keep learning! #lawyervsattorney #grammar #attorneyvslawyer #grammarlesson #CareerVsOccupation #careers #NewVocabulary #DefineYourFuture #CareerExploration #STEMmajors #LearnWithMsJames #sciencemajors #SoftwareDeveloper #OccupationDefined #VocabularyLessons #WordsMatter #EnglishTeacher #majorstostudy #MiddleSchoolLearning #EducationMatters #VocabularyBoost #softwareengineer #GrammarAndVocabulary #SoftwareDeveloper #LifelongLearner #CareerGoals #LearningIsFun #MsJamesteach #ClassroomConnections #TeachersOfTikTok

Out with the Old: A Lesson on Empathy and Vocabulary When a student asked if we’d write about what we did over break, I explained why I wouldn’t ask that—it’s an antiquated and sometimes insensitive practice. This sparked a powerful classroom discussion about empathy, real-world connections, and the importance of understanding others’ experiences. What started as a vocabulary lesson became a life lesson, and I couldn’t be prouder of my students. #grammarlesson ##VocabularyLesson#Antiquated #newvocabulary #Insensitive #Empathy #RealWorldConnections #LifeLessons #ClassroomDiscussions #TeachingEmpathy #MiddleSchoolTeacher #EducationalContent #EnglishVocabulary #WordOfTheDay #BuildingConnections #LearnWithMe #CompassionInClass #WordsMatter #LanguageAndLife
