⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wrote a Yelp review for Eckstein. I figured since I wrote so much about it in my book I might as well post a review too.
I just want to know who made that summary for the school that is in the description below? Okay I admit, it's about right.

I go to the field on weekends to shoot hoops. This week there were some nice cloud formations off in the background. I didn't really notice them until reviewing the video. Sometimes soccer balls fly off on to my court. Other days soccer players will play basketball with me. #EcksteinMiddleSchool 🦅
Promotion information for my middle school's annual fundraising event.
The teachers at my middle school put on a concert where they played through a diverse set of 80s hits. I learned a lot about the needs of the school by going to this. I had no idea that ten families were homeless and relied on laundry and food services from the school. #EcksteinMiddleSchool #Seattle
I've been going out to #EcksteinBasketball games on Saturday mornings. They are really fun! One game tied the score in the last second of play with a three point shot! Tomorrow they play Madison at West Seattle High School.

I wrote a story about how one of my school's teams won a game with one second left. I've been sponsoring a few of these players over the last year. In 2024 I chose the shortest player and this year I went with the kid who assisted with the one second shot! #RooseveltRoughRiders #EcksteinMiddleSchool
Out of the many memories I had going to Eckstein this usual one is perhaps a favorite.

I was watching animations like American Tail
noticing the Anthropomorphic display is much like reality
“There are no cats in America!” the mice foolhardily hail.
Yet how often do adults accept a similar mentality?

Before I started writing #poetry in 2023 and 2024 I was looking through some details on my previous schools and discovered this helpful video. This #LanguageArts class had a lot of good notes on the basics such as stanzas, enjambment, voltas, and metaphor.

#GoldenAppleAward for Band leader Cuauhtemoc (Moc) Escobedo. He would have started teaching around the time I went there.

Some Eckstein students can even memorize complex #orchestra pieces like this. It is amazing to me that middle school students can get to far this early on! I remember performing hard pieces but not by memory.

A creative banner on Eckstein Middle School's wall which spells out a kind of acronym for "learn." It spells out learn by taking one letter from the words "Reflect," "Solve," "Create," "Grow," and "Think."
A memory from our morning reading session class in the #6thGrade.

Intro to #BlackPoem
When all color is not there
we just don't pay enough mind to this phenomenal occurrence.
It has an absence of hue a characteristic so rare
these traits had no other coloration transference.

Image of black coffee and paint spilled on a page with a poem about black in the middle. The poem talks about corvine which is the color of the plumage of a crow or a raven. Other new favorite words amalgamate.
Another black poem which uses the term adumbrative in a adjective form this time instead of as a verb. Other new words introduced scintillate and obversely.
This year I wrote a five page #BlackPoem. (learningtowalkagain.life/Black/) While doing so discovered the wonderful word #Adumbrate. Noticed it could be used as a noun and a verb and an adjective so I had to use it again on a later page! 🐈⬛ #Black

Decomposing food and a messy napkin. Napkin has a poem describing my needing to dig through a dumpster to find a retainer.
A short poem on a napkin that tells a story about a teacher who placed value of being with his students over being with his colleagues.
My latest body of work that focuses on my growing up years. I hadn't realized how much content was there on this subject until I approached this year's Poetry Month!
