Fun teacher field trip to @PlanetWordDC !

McLean Misfits or Backstreet Boys? Hard to tell the difference I’m pretty sure… @McLeanSchool @Droth8um

[Kara Barber @kbrounstein]

A big thank you to all of the running buddies who joined the @McLeanSchool Girls on the Run team for our end-of-season @GOTRMoCo 5K! Proud of these little runners! 🎊 🏅

McLean School’s @GOTRMoCo team having fun using their star power to CREATE CONSTELLATIONS at practice today 🌟 🤩

April is National #AutismAcceptanceMonth !
Help me contribute to the Run For Autism program’s goal of raising $80,000 during the month of April by donating to my Marathon fundraising campaign: https://t.co/yWiXTmQw2O

Windy but lovely bike ride to see peak bloom tonight! Happy almost-Spring-Break 🤭🌸

[Kara Barber @kbrounstein]

Loved their creativity and collaboration…even if it came at the price of several hot glue gun burns for their teacher 😂🫠

@McLeanSchool 5th grade spent the week engaged in project based learning about Louisiana Purchase & the Corps of Discovery’s expedition to the Pacific. They created artifacts to display at our Museum yesterday, attended by our fourth graders!

[Kara Barber @kbrounstein]

Registered for my second @Marine_Marathon and this time I am raising money for @AutismOAR! (But still involved with last year’s partner @GOTRMoCo as a coach this Spring!) If you’re interested/able, check out my fundraising page to learn more and donate:

New year same #FreshStart5k time 🤷🏼‍♀️ and still my favorite way to start the year!

[Kara Barber @kbrounstein]

Solid start to 2023 at the #FreshStart5K!

I need to win the lottery so I can take all my students to see this show 🫠

[How To Dance In Ohio - The Musical @ohiomusical]

"It's about love, it's about acceptance, it's about always lead with kindness, and building human connections through clear communication instead of assumption." - Amelia Fei

Last night I was lucky to see @ohiomusical (in a sensory friendly theater with cool down spaces, sensory bags available to borrow, and info in the playbill about ASD). I wish everyone could see this play which teaches “To know one autistic person is to know one autistic person.”

Making the last days before winter break less painful by playing Dreidel Probability games in Math 🙃

[Kara Barber @kbrounstein]

Proud of these fifth graders for giving back to the community during the organized chaos that is making sandwiches for Shepherd’s Table @McLeanSchool 😆

[Kara Barber @kbrounstein]

Thank you so much to everyone who helped me raise over $1,500 for @GOTRMoCo -especially my course-side support squad- while training for the @Marine_Marathon! My students were disappointed that I didn’t WIN, but I was proud to finish 873rd of all females and 144th in my division!

[Kara Barber @kbrounstein]

I’m obsessed with all the space in my new classroom - especially when we were able to all sit around a big table for our first B-Hive homeroom lunch 🐝 💕

[Kara Barber @kbrounstein]

I’m running the @Marine_Marathon in October to raise money for @GOTRMoCo ! I’m less than $500 away from my fundraising goal & slightly less prepared for the actual running part 🫣 but determined to accomplish both!

I feel an extra special bond with this group of 8th graders since I was teaching them in March of 2020. So proud of how much they’ve grown 🥹
