I will take the impact the Troy Union community had on my life in everything I do. Thank you to all who played an important role in shaping me into who I am today. I am forever changed and forever grateful. 💕

Looking to take two from our neighbors today at their place. It’s a beautiful day to come out and watch our rivalry games.

[Karen Bush @Teaching24_7]

@spalmer_mrs Love every single part of this!!!

[Seaholm Maples Softball @MaplesSoftball]

Despite our Ace being out, Seaholm goes undefeated to win the Athens Showdown. Senior @abby_pinch_14 wins 2 while freshman Adele Bush picks up her first win in her first start. @lolaweberr goes yard while @abby_pinch_14, @Emmaweber07, Voigt and Hill each have multiple hit games.

Hey TU, use your day off tomorrow to look for books for our Book Swap coming up soon! Also if you are able to donate a NEW book for @FofFK , https://t.co/sCBKQDB7UF we would love it! @TroyUnion

[Karen Bush @Teaching24_7]

@MissEdwardsK Love seeing them lean in close to share and admire each others writing!! Can’t wait to see their continued growth as writers. 🙌🏻

[Karen Bush @Teaching24_7]

Powerful learning with @natalielouis13 building our letter sound knowledge in both reading and writing as we use our ABC chart in creative ways! Studying our Ss writing by asking, “What thrills me? What does it say about their identity? What can I teach them now?”#OneTROY

[Karen Bush @Teaching24_7]

Thank you @alicialuick for 2 wonderful days of growing our understanding of the reciprocity between reading and writing with explicit teaching around vocabulary to support our Ss and LIFT the level of their work! #TroyUnion

[Karen Bush @Teaching24_7]

@spalmer_mrs What a beautiful example of leaders today impacting the world of tomorrow. Keep spreading your light Maris, you are making a difference!

[Karen Bush @Teaching24_7]

@mrs_sennott @IamMikeCottone Love this creative, hands on math learning!

[Karen Bush @Teaching24_7]

@RRalexander2 @IamMikeCottone @TroyUnion The work you are leading with students across TU is truly remarkable! Through you guidance students are learning that culture is lived out through our actions, which then impacts the climate. Thanks for prioritizing this important work with our students.

[Karen Bush @Teaching24_7]

@spalmer_mrs Coaching alongside you is a gift! So grateful for your partnership to always grow and learn!

[Karen Bush @Teaching24_7]

@colleen_chick Love this story!!!

How can you keep track of every student's strengths and needs to inform your curriculum planning? @JorgeDoesPBL suggests trying a simple visual tool called an empathy map! 😍

[Karen Bush @Teaching24_7]

Feeling inspired by powerful words about reclaiming student agency in writing! “Anytime we standardize writing, we sideline diverse voices. Worse, we marginalize them. As Goulding Mohammed notes, it is especially important to give voice to Ss who are developing a sense of self.”

[Karen Bush @Teaching24_7]

Loved seeing all the TU families on this beautiful summer day. What a fabulous community. 🙌🏻 Already can’t wait till the next one. Keep reading, dreaming and creating #TroyUnion rockstars!

[〽️ike Cottone @IamMikeCottone]

Well done ⁦@Teaching24_7⁩ and ⁦@HollyGordon_TSD⁩. What a great meetup for #TroyUnion students and staff members. Perfect day to connect and swap books.

[〽️ike Cottone @IamMikeCottone]

These girls advocated to do something special at #TroyUnion. They presented to our PTO & obtained the funds to plant our very own Wish Tree. Thank you ⁦@troyschools⁩ Building & Grounds for your help. Way to go ⁦@Teaching24_7⁩ and ⁦@NickFisette⁩ for empowering.

June 1st isn’t slowing down Troy Union’s math buddy mentors! These fifth graders bring joy into learning math with their 2nd grade buddies! #TroyUnion #finishstrong
