Another great Color Run! Thank you all the community helpers and @FlemRarSchools joint PTOs for an amazing event. I loved seeing so many Dolphins (and so did my niece!) 🩵🐬 @desmaresschool

Congratulations to all my amazing colleagues entering retirement, and a special thank you to three who are near and dear to my heart: Mrs. Beth Klepper, Mrs. Kathy Dribbon, & Mrs. Leigh Anne Casico (all the way in South Africa!) @FlemRarSchools @desmaresschool @MrsDribbonFRSD

We cheered on our 3rd & 4th graders today at the Desmares World Cup in preparation for NJSLA! We know they’ll reach their GOALS! Special thanks to Tom and some amazing junior soccer players from Hunterdon Central! @desmaresschool

Enjoying our FRSD fundraiser at one of my favorite stores today! @desmaresschool @BridgewaterMall

Today, my two favorite jobs got to be combined: being a reading teacher AND being Aunt Kari! It was a such a great day at @desmaresschool! 🩵

@LindsayKemeny @ScholasticEdu @teachindavis I need to get my hands on these!!!!!

Eek! I'm THRILLED to share that I wrote a collection of 20 decodable comics! I’ve been testing them out with my first graders, & they are obsessed! Preorder from Scholastic for the earliest release window: @ScholasticEdu @teachindavis scholastic.com/shop-kemeny

Mrs. Donut-Making DeLorenzo jumped right in at Duck Donuts to serve up some delicious donuts for the @desmaresschool Dolphins this afternoon! Thank you to our awesome PTO for organizing this event and to Mrs. DeLorenzo for decorating some tasty treats!

@MrsGutierrezBF I LOVED seeing this! I was Soli’s student teacher from TCNJ when she had Ms. Kocsis! What a small world- recognized you right away!! ❤️

Being featured on the cover is an incredible honor. As someone who has often been the only Latina in the room, this moment feels bigger than an accomplishment—it feels like representation, resilience, and hope. 23 years of learning, growing & showing up for up for students.

I had the best day meeting some of my new readers, as well as reuniting with some of my readers from the fall! Remember: We Are Thoughtful Energetic Readers! @desmaresschool

@IMSEOG- thank you for the amazing OG training that built my background for this lesson!

How is syllable division like making slice and bake cookies? Third grade readers are about to learn the recipe! @desmaresschool

Thank you SO much, @LindsayKemeny! I cannot wait to read this and share with my colleagues at @desmaresschool! What a great start to the week! 🩵

@LindsayKemeny This would be an amazing resource for us to have at @desmaresschool!

GIVEAWAY! I'm so thankful for your support so I'm giving away a copy of my book, Rock Your Literacy Block! Like & repost this post to enter. Comment for an extra entry. Winner will be announced on Sunday, November 23rd by midnight MST. US Shipping only. Good luck! ✨

So excited for day two of “Reading with Ms. Rowe!” @desmaresschool

At today’s Literacy Academy session, we talked about launching the year, including students taking ownership of the way the classroom library is organized. Check out these teachers sorting books within small groups, just like their students will in a few weeks! @FlemRarSchools

Today is the first session of Literacy Learning Academy for the 2025-2026 school year! We can’t wait to talk about all things literacy! @FlemRarSchools

@MrsBurns231 Wishing you the absolute best of luck!

After 20 years, today was bittersweet. I’m thankful for everyone that has supported me over the years…onto Readington tomorrow #notgoodbye #20years

Thank you so much to the amazing @desmaresschool PTO for treating us to some delicious snacks and drinks today! It is so appreciated! 🐬🩵

One of my absolute favorite days of the year to be a @desmaresschool Dolphin! Who is ready to go shopping?
