When you have group work, but desks are overrated. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Starting off the New Year right by organizing my collection! Novels - plays - poetry - teaching materials. 🤓

[Jenna Koenigsmann @Ms_Koenigsmann]

Shout out to my colleagues for helping me develop some strong cross-curricular lesson plans today! #MVPDevAllDay

Had some fun on our 8th grade trip to Cranberry Lake Preserve yesterday evening!

[Jenna Koenigsmann @Ms_Koenigsmann]

I love having the chance to discuss and share strategies with my peers. So happy to be in an environment where we feel comfortable and productive at the same time! #MVPDevAllDay

[Jenna Koenigsmann @Ms_Koenigsmann]

Thank you, @chrisemdin for presenting us with some sobering truths and serious inspiration before we start our school year!

We may only have 6 days left, but my 6th graders are working hard on their hero’s journey short stories 📝 @BTMiddleSchool

[Jenna Koenigsmann @Ms_Koenigsmann]

Here are completed 6th grade poetry projects! Students had to research a poetic structure and write a poem using that structure. Happy to know they are just as proud as I am.

Loved watching my 8th graders become so engaged during their spring “egg” hunt! Escape rooms/treasure hunts are such a fun form of assessment. 🐇

@Ms_Koenigsmann and I played a small prank on our students today. We flipped all the desks to point away the board AND managed to convince them that NOTHING was different! They thought they were going crazy! 😂😇🤷🏼‍♀️ #AprilFoolsDay #HappyTeacherChallenge

[Jenna Koenigsmann @Ms_Koenigsmann]

My 7th graders managed to carry an evidence-based, close reading discussion on the symbolism presented in 2 short songs for the entire period today. I was so proud of how engaged they were, and blown away by some of the connections they made. #proudteacher

Had some fun writing 6-word and/or tweet summaries for ch. 35-38 of Holes today! @MVCitySchools

[Jenna Koenigsmann @Ms_Koenigsmann]

“#LouisSachar, the book Holes is a interesting, and it keeps me at the edge of my seat. The characters Stanley and Zero are so heroic.” - Taquan S. (Parker 7th grader)

[Jenna Koenigsmann @Ms_Koenigsmann]

So fun! ❤️

[Ms. McKeown @kmckeown19]

Iona Women’s Basketball game with students from Parker! Such a fun and great opportunity for 7th grade students to get to come see college athletics! @Ms_Koenigsmann #ncaa #iona #Parker

This is a great practice to guide exit ticket feedback! Great tool Ms. Koenigsmann!

[Rodney McBride @rm4663]

BTMS students charting their text evidence! Great observation Ms. Koenigsmann!

[Jenna Koenigsmann @Ms_Koenigsmann]

Apparently @kmckeown19 and I are such a good team, one of our students compared us to “Shark Girl” and “Lava Girl”. 🤓
