A proud day for the 5th grade team at @RodburnElem. 🦚 We loved celebrating promotion with our amazing students today and are so proud of all they’ve achieved.

I’m excited and incredibly grateful to share that I was selected as a recipient of the Roots to Resilience Scholarship through @KEDCGrants and have also been accepted into @marshallu University’s School Psychology Ed.S. Program! 💚 I’m thankful for the opportunity to continue in the classroom this fall, while learning and growing through this next chapter of my career.

If you had told me years ago this would be part of my story, I never would have believed you. Through @KEDC1 grant work, doors have opened that I never imagined. I’m so grateful for the opportunities and people who have encouraged me along the way. I’m also thankful to be part of @RowanSchools and @RodburnElem, where educators are encouraged to grow.

I couldn’t celebrate this moment without my husband, family, and close friends for always believing in me. Most of all, I’m thankful that God continues to place purpose in this season of my life. 💚

Learning came to life today at Kentucky’s Old State Capitol! The opportunities and civic work through @KEDCGrants have challenged and inspired our 5th grade team at @RodburnElem to create more vibrant learning opportunities in social studies. Our students don’t just learn history, they experience it.

Last week, my 5th graders used @SnorklApp AI to deepen their thinking and explain their reasoning while analyzing historical sources connected to the First Continental Congress. Watching my students defend claims with evidence in real time was incredible! Huge shoutout to @KEDCGrants @passport2lead for supporting innovative learning and to my amazing 5th grade team @MsBurton120 and @MrsATackett at @RodburnElem for providing the resources and support that allowed all of our students to participate in a mock Continental Congress!

Honored to present today at the @moreheadstate Teaching Conference and Celebration with Dr. Casey Cosgriff, Dr. Daryl Privott, and Dr. Alicia Day on “Promises & Pitfalls: Student Perspectives on GenAI Through the LOVE Framework.”

I had the opportunity to share my perspective on using AI in the elementary classroom alongside some incredibly knowledgeable educators.

The collaboration between @RowanSchools and @moreheadstate University, offered a meaningful avenue for sharing ideas and perspectives that highlight student agency in a digital world.

Big thank you to @KEDCGrants! The support I have received through their grant opportunities made this experience possible.

I recently attended an @icivics session through @KEDCGrants @passport2lead. These research-based transformational games are helping my 5th graders think critically, make real-world decisions, and truly experience civics in action. They were also a powerful addition during NTI online learning!

POV: Your 5th grade teacher reads you a dramatic breakup letter…
then reveals it’s fake. Today’s lesson: The Declaration of Independence- America’s breakup letter to King George. 💔😂
Forever grateful for @KEDCGrants opportunities that help me bring social studies to life! @passport2lead

Today’s grant work: implementing Paraphrase Partners (@s3strategies) to strengthen inquiry using primary sources. Students learning history by thinking like historians!! @KEDCGrants @passport2lead

The best educators never stop being students. 📚 Excited to read “A Girl Called Samson” as part of the @KEDCGrants @passport2lead and continue growing through new perspectives and ideas.

Today my 5th graders counted YEARS of loose change I’ve been saving 💰 and worked together to see how close they could get to the official bank total!

They used AI @SnorklApp to explain their strategies and reflect on accuracy. 💙 @KEDCGrants @passport2lead @KEDC1 @RowanSchools

✨ Big news from my 5th grade classroom at @RodburnElem! ✨

My students and I have been selected for the AI Literacy & Workforce Readiness Initiative through @KEDC1, a pilot grant that will bring AI into rural KY classrooms in meaningful, student-centered ways.

My students are pumped for hands-on projects, creative lessons, & a showcase to share their learning. SO grateful for this opportunity for my students from @RowanSchools to shine!!

Attending the @RowanSchools Mini Conference today! Just wrapped up a fantastic session on @OpenSciEd, led by @BrandyCarver and Keri Johnson. This approach uses storylines to spark curiosity and drive learning through real-world phenomena and student questions. 🔬🌍 #rcLEAD #OpenSciEd

Excited to join @UKyNextGen ChangeMakers Cohort 5! This deeper learning journey aligns perfectly with the amazing work we’re doing in @RowanSchools and at @RodburnElem. Earning rank 1 + growing with inspiring educators! Big love to @DugleSusan and Julie Webb…full circle moment!

Just living my best life through @KEDC_HERO. Interactive learning is the BEST way to spark creativity and engagement. Soaking up some good civics education while I do crafty things this week…BONUS!!!

That’s a wrap on the 2025 Elevation Summit!! I’m leaving feeling empowered, inspired, and ready to elevate my teaching. I can’t wait to bring the strategies I’ve learned this week into my classroom next school year! @KEDCGrants @KEDC_HERO
