Brought this account out of retirement to spread the superhero love for one of my favorite GPE gators🐊 @lightallstars you were one of the first friends I made at GPE. Your love of learning, your quick wit, & your amazing laugh will forever be some of the best memories I have💚💙

Today GP teachers engaged in learning centered on PBL, 5Cs, and how to leverage them in order to promote student agency. Fantastic session with outstanding educators! #GoGPGators

[Kim Blankenship @MrsBtheIFT]

This is so awesome @MissGoinsGPE so glad you were able to implement new practices RIGHT AWAY! Can’t wait to come in and see it in action!!! #GoGPgators

Thank you @MrsBtheIFT for an amazing math PD today! I was inspired by the opportunity to go deeper with the #CRA, #PBL, and #5cs! Check out room 142’s new math poster & chant to help us grow as emerging mathematicians🧮🧠💭 #GoGPGators @GoshenPostES

We discussed how we can be use our 3 Rs and be resilient gators when faced with the challenge of MAP testing in @MrsMonahan2nd’s class today! I enjoyed being in many 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade rooms today! Good luck on MAP testing this week gators! #GoGPgators

Lever 1️⃣ : Knowledge of Students

Consider: How can I design and facilitate projects that capture my students' interests, honor their strengths and identities, and meet their needs?

Great day facilitating the @GoshenPostES Admin Retreat! So many great conversations focusing on our shared vision, our collective “why,” and how our roles will support deeper learning in the 2021-2022 school year! #GoGPgators 🐊

[Kim Blankenship @MrsBtheIFT]

What an amazing group of kids to have as I end my time as a classroom teacher. Every year I say I have the best class and every year it’s true. Even through the computer, we became a classroom family 💚💙 Peep the new handle @MrsBtheIFT #GoGPgators @TeacherFerozGPE

[Kim Blankenship @MrsBtheIFT]

Currently working on a rich math task in breakout rooms to increase mathematical discourse! Student facilitated collaboration and communication! Ss can still improve their #5Cs in DL! @GoshenPostES #gogpegators @TeacherFerozGPE

[Kim Blankenship @MrsBtheIFT]

@MsFerraraTweets @GoshenPostES Hahaha would it give you more anxiety to know that this is window #3! And the other 2 have the same number of tabs open hahahahah

[Kim Blankenship @MrsBtheIFT]

We had our first S facilitated morning meeting! I’ve been challenging myself to find ways to bring brick&mortar virtual! I❤️letting Ss take ownership of OUR classroom! Yesterday, we made a jamboard discussing norms of facilitation, today we started! #GoGPGators @GoshenPostES

@BravoWWHL @AmyPhillips_ @Teresa_Giudice @WhatCrappens @CountessLuann @ira @KenyaMoore @DannyPellegrino @KARENHUGER @KARENHUGER all the way!!!

[Kim Blankenship @MrsBtheIFT]

@DebbieMossGPE1 I kept the volume low on 2 of the computers and increased it on the one that I needed to check in with. I had the kids facilitate their groups with a protocol, so I was observing and taking anecdotal notes!

[Kim Blankenship @MrsBtheIFT]

I decided to be a resilient gator and problem solve how to have breakout rooms when I’m solo. I’m currently monitoring 4 breakout rooms and listening to some amazing math discourse amongst these mathematicians! #GoGPGators 🐊

[Kim Blankenship @MrsBtheIFT]

Teared up during tonight’s SB mtg listening to @brendalsheridan’s advocacy. While I don’t teach in the Sterling district anymore, it’s still a huge piece of my heart. Thank you Ms. Sheridan for all that you do for those AMAZING students and families! #sterlingstrong #PVpride ❤️💙

[Kim Blankenship @MrsBtheIFT]

It’s been such an uncertain time, so I didn’t know when to share my exciting news. But, I am so stoked to be joining the 5th grade team at @GoshenPostES! So ready to challenge myself and my students in our adventure together! #fifthgradesquad #funin5th
