Miss Katie Thompson

November in Miss Thompson’s room: my heart is SO grateful for these kids and the joy they bring into this space daily.

We will say this over and over again: we need each other! #nervoussystem #connection #student #children #youth #educator #revelationsineducation #appliededucationalneuroscience #education

Loved welcoming our friend + published author into 5th grade today! Rachelle Gegg inspired us to find music in the wood around us and to draw on personal experiences in our own writing! 🐦✍️🎼

I’ve loved watching these kids’ confidence grow in leading Focused Attention Practices throughout this school year 🌱🧠🫁

4th Grade Passport to Indiana Project was a success 🗺️🧭📍 We live in an incredible state with so many unique places to explore!

The authors chair is full and we are so proud of our friends for their awesome growth as writers this year.✏️💛

I love these kids. They’ve worked so hard preparing for their Neuroscience Fair today. They brought so much joy + knowledge of the language of the nervous system to people today. Proud teacher. Full heart.

Some of our favorite, cozy reading spots📚🤎

Amazing STEM exploration with materials from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Thank you @ButlerCOE teachers for guiding our 4th graders in this experience!

What brings you JOY this holiday season? ❄️☃️

4th grade is thankful for… 🤎🧡❤️🍁

Big thanks to @DrPangansclass for empowering these 4th graders as scientists! M&Ms, STEM, and two groups of people whom I love — what a treat! @ButlerCOE

Student quote of the day: “When you learn, you grow. And when you grow, you blossom.” 🌼

Year 2! Miss Thompson is excited to watch you all shine ☀️

I think we are going to have a GREAT year together in 4th grade, friends🌻 Happy *first* day of school!

Summer tutoring fun is almost to a close! I’ll miss these moments, but excited to dive into year two in 4th grade at Newby Elementary!

People that I’ll miss: my 17 besties who are moving on to 5th grade! Filled with a grateful heart for this first year at Newby Elementary with these people. 🌳💛

Student-led focused attention practices! Preparing our nervous systems for the fun Friday ahead.

Feeling blessed to have a volunteer like this momma. This class is going to miss you. 🌷

These Speedway 4th graders are beyond excited to have pen pals all the way in Kentucky! Grateful for these relationships!
