I might be just the tiniest bit obsessed with this crew. 😍😍😍

Incredible choreo by my cousin, @DelaneyHannan. Performed by my insanely talented cousin, @HannanMacLynn. Love having a connection to the dance world through two of my favorite people!! ❤️

New Gratitude Wall! We’ve been talking a lot about what it looks and sounds like to be grateful, kind, and positive human beings! Love to see their hard work up on our walls! 😍

FORT DAY!! Is it strange that these kids focused BETTER on their school work today? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Had so much fun as usual with this crew - even ended the day with a projector camp fire and flashlight read-in! 😍

This will never get old. So proud of these kids and their hard work! 😍 #BizTown #JuniorAchievement @AnkenyRockCreek

Classroom snuggles and community circle talks. 🥺 Because sometimes 5th grade is hard, and every now and then we need a 20 minute brain break instead of a 5 minute one. These best friends are livin’ their best life! #studentsarehumansfirst 🖤

There’s something about kids collaborating that always just moves my heart. When we give them the opportunity…and even a little bit of added joy and excitement… they *always* rise to the occasion. 👏🏼

What’s more fun than a little Halloween math project… with… human skin? Eyeballs? MAGGOTS AND BUGS?! INESTINES?!?!?! 🤪 always learning, always a party in 5K and 5C. 🖤🧡 @MrsCarlson5th

PJ Day in Ms. Koch’s classroom! Love these kiddos and the joy they bring to each day!! 😍

[Abby Koch @MsKoch5K]

Another good one from the fall party! 😘

[Abby Koch @MsKoch5K]

Nothin’ better than a good classroom party! 😍

5th graders hard at work to “Save Fred!” Fun STEM AND teamwork building activity!

Yes, we had a class “prom” on the 100th day of school. And yes, we dressed up as 100-yr-old ladies. 😂

@starrcircus @jewell_p_rhodes Of course! It’s definitely a book to read with family, to help guide understanding and the discussion of some really big and powerful topics! ❤️

[Abby Koch @MsKoch5K]

Hands down. One of the best young novels I have ever read. So, SO powerful, and rich with opportunities to discuss equity and social justice with kids. I cannot recommend it enough! @jewell_p_rhodes
