After 15 yrs have decided to pursue my educational leadership journey. With that I bid farewell to NPS. I will miss all of my colleagues, students, and friends. I welcome this new chapter in my life at Great Oaks Charter School as a humanities coach. #learnlap #sstlap #sschat

History Club tried out the cooperative card game #Similo . 2 games ran concurrently as one group played with the History edition and the other played with the Myth edition. Lot of higher order thinking, strategy, and forging connections in this game! #games4ed #tlap #sstlap

The OMS History Club is out exploring the USS Massachusetts and USS Joseph Kennedy Jr. at Battleship Cove today. A great time exploring these historic naval crafts and immersing ourselves in a Morse Code workshop in the belly of the battleship. #sstlap #MAedu

Kudos to Niko and Victoria on a great job representing the OMS History Club at last night's School Committee meeting, and spreading the word about what we're doing every Thursday! #sstlap #MAedu #HistoryClub

Mr. Nasis joined History Club to play test a card game he’s developing. In this game, players take on the persona of Enlightenment thinkers like Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau, and engage in a salon discussion and exchange of ideas based on modern real world scenarios. #sstlap

'The Pharaoh's Quest: Reaching the Field of Reeds' was a huuuuge hit yesterday, and it was all a bit of late night inspiration rushed into production for the next morning. It was a lot of work, not much sleep, but ultimately worth it! moriartyhistory.blogspot.com/2024/03/the-ph… #sstlap #tlap #xplap

Going off to the West with the Corps of Discovery! Students are analyzing primary sources on Lewis and Clark's expedition to create journals of their trek west. #sschat #sstlap #tlap #learnlap Nat Geo Education

Mesopotamian review game as we read through the Epic of Gilgamesh. Team Gilgamesh & Team Enkidu took on Team Humbaba, tossing axes as part of a curricular review activity. Huge fun for the kids, and really pleased with how well they did academically (and throwing axes)! #sstlap
