Room 7 Highlands

Multi-age teacher at Highlands Elementary. Wife, mom, and lover of all things that spin the positive. Views my own.

Woodlock Trail was completely designed by kids during break. There are shelters, a way to trade for things you need, winter planning in the works, and a meeting place to solve problems. Their excitement, pride and ownership is off the charts. #autonomy #outdoorlearning

Partner math to solidify multi-digit subtraction. Multi-age at its finest. #multiage #collaboration

When you hear screams in the hallway and find that it’s alumni coming back for a surprise visit to read with younger kids. 😭 #multiage

About ten alumni from our CP fam showed up today hoping to join us for a game of CTF. None balked at the rain. Instead they joined in with Family DEAR. They are givers who see the big picture. Teared up with hope for the difference they will make in this world. #impact #multiage

In a week filled with countless positives, this moment stole my heart. These are the younger sibs of my current students playing together at Open House today. #multiage #community

Thanks to Team Hample for freshening up our outdoor classroom. Can’t wait to see you ALL! #multiage

Indoor recess today offered me a few minutes to reflect on how well these kids came together this year after all they’ve been through. They are resilient, creative, and full of love! #multiage

These kids are the leaders of our CP family. They are full of joy, perseverance, and love for each other. These past 2 years have been a ride for them. So glad we are @DeepPortage together. #multiage

Moderate success and lots of fun with our parachutes. We need more weight and a way to make the canopy stay open. TBC. #multiage

Impromptu visit from from my “old” teaching partner Jim Norman. He and JoAnne Farley founded CP in the early 80’s. They set a vision of multi-age education that has spanned decades in Edina. He’s still got it. My heart is full! #multiage #impact

We ended the week gathering to begin planning for our trip to @DeepPortage. #multiage #outdoorlearning
