Miss Brooklyn Cohen

I am honored to have attended the Butler University Outstanding Student Banquet last night as one of the Top 100 students! Butler is truly a special place and I am thankful to have been a part of its community for the past 4 years! Thank you @butleru and @ButlerCOE

Yay! So excited to share that I’m officially a Seesaw Ambassador! I can’t wait to continue using Seesaw to connect with students and families! 😊

@TheMrDeWitt89 Thank you for sharing! Including children in these tough conversations is so important!!

Talking about race and racism is TOUGH! This video is far from perfect. However, it was on my ❤️ to speak with my 3rd graders on race, racism, and the #blacklivesmatter  movement. Feel free to use. youtu.be/L8krL_0Kbvw #wearewayne

Our Kindness Project earlier this year led to the creation of a beautiful mural for our classroom! This time away from the classroom was the perfect time to turn our mural into a sticker! 4th graders, stickers will be in your mailboxes any day now ☺️ Spread kindness, always!

End of day high fives have turned into end of zoom fist bumps... I’ll take it 😊

No document camera? No problem! Had to get creative to model summary writing for a reading mini-lesson tomorrow! (If you have document camera iPad stand recommendations please let me know 😂)

Nothing but pure JOY after our first class Zoom meeting! I am so happy to see these faces and continue on our learning journey together again!

Here’s another version of Top-It to share with families from @CFless and @ryanflessner. This time: Addition Top It with Single Digit Numbers. #yaymath

What a special daily reminder. To us, kindness means going out of your way to make everyone feel welcome and valued no matter what. I’m proud of my 4th grade leaders for being so passionate about advocating for the right that people have to be treated kindly!

@Rubiks_Official @YouCanDoRubiks @ryanflessner have you seen this?!

On International Day of Education take a look at @YouCanDoRubiks ! Did you know that we sent over 1 million #RubiksCubes to schools in America last year. We love to see their mosaics! #DayOfEducation #InternationalDayOfEducation

Safe to say we’ve started 2020 off on the right foot! Proud to spend each day with these awesome leaders!

Readers in Room 120 are getting extra creative with their reading spot choices for independent and partner reading today!

Spread kindness like confetti (it's free and earth-friendly)! #WorldKindnessDay

In honor of it being World Kindness Day, I thought I’d share what’s been going on in Room 120 lately! During mass, we heard the story of 9-year-old, Ryan, who saved up his allowance money to pay off the lunch money debt of the students in his grade. Our class was inspired...

“Nothing without joy” -Loris Malaguzzi During the month of October, we’ve been exploring the things that bring us joy! 4th graders were researching topics including M&Ms, Greek Mythology, Chinese Water Dragons, and more! We’re sharing our Passion Projects on @Seesaw!

“What do you love about your grandparents?” “They love me” What a love-filled morning with all of the special guests that could join us this morning (including my own grandma) ☺️ We are so thankful today and every day to have such supportive people in our lives!

Mornings were feeling hectic and stressful with the pressure of finishing morning work. Why should that be how students start their day? To bring JOY back into our mornings, we’ve begun Passion Projects! Stay tuned for how these 4th graders explore what makes them feel excited!

Keep going. Keep going. Keep going.

As learners we reflect on our choices. Which classroom expectations would you like to embody stronger tomorrow? ~be safe, be respectful, cooperate, be kind, be responsible~

This may look like an ordinary mason jar- but today, it’s filled with things that each of my students wished I knew about them. Well, 4th graders, I’m excited to share that I notice and appreciate the hard work that you put in each day. Thank you for being YOU!
