Happy Women & Girls in Sports Day! I am forever indebted to all the girls I played soccer and lacrosse with, the coaches who believed in me and the lessons sports have taught me. It was quite a ride. #playlikeagirl

Seeing my students take the stage and sing their hearts out was pure magic. 🎶✨ From True Colors to Lean on Me, they filled the room with joy. (And brought some of us tears!) So grateful to have a front row seat to their 3rd grade year. 🎤 #proudteacher #WeAreChappaqua

A big thank you to NYPD Sgt. Podlovits for joining us (a few days late) to celebrate World Read Aloud day! Students were surprised to hear that even police officers read everyday! #WeAreChappaqua Sergeants Benevolent Association NYPD 52nd Precinct

Inspired by a great discussion at our last faculty meeting, my students revisited their identity maps from September! Amazing to see how they’ve grown and what new things they’ve added to their pieces.✨📝 #IdentityMaps #StudentGrowth #WeAreChappaqua

The energy, learning, and fun these #MathPeople brought was off the charts! 🙌📈 #WeAreChappaqua

Started our morning with A Common Thread—a game to show that we’re all connected. Watching my 3rd graders realize how much they have in common was a beautiful reminder: we’re more alike than different. 💛 #WeAreChappaqua #ClassroomCommunity

Thanks to Ms. Coku, our 3rd graders worked with their kindergarten buddies to build the tallest KEVA® Planks tower! 🏗️ They engineered, problem-solved, and captured it all with stop motion animation. 🎬 #WeAreChappaqua #BuddiesInAction #STEM #NGSS

WO kindergarten and third-grade buddies teamed up in our Makerspace to design the tallest possible towers using the engineering design process - capturing their progress through @stopmotionapp and learning from each wobble or collapse! #WeAreChappaqua Andrea Rose Schaber Elona Coku

Huge shoutout to Lisa Rudovic for designing an incredible lesson to launch our Animal Research Clubs! 🐾 Students explored nonfiction in 3 powerful ways: 📚 Professionally published books 📝 Student-created texts 💻 Digital reads on Epic! #WeAreChappaqua #InquiryBasedLearning

In the spirit of Teacher Appreciation Week, I’m going to tweet every day to share why I love being a teacher. 💛📚 Day 1: It’s the spark for me—the moment a student’s eyes light up because they finally get it. That joy never gets old. ✨ #TeacherAppreciationWeek #WeAreChappaqua

Day 2: I’m not just a teacher, I’m a learner too. Every day my students teach me something new. Growth is a two-way street. 📝#LifelongLearning #WeAreChappaqua

Day 3: Every student walks into my classroom with a different story and I get to be a positive part of it. That’s an honor I’ll never take for granted! 💛 #WeAreChappaqua #WhyITeach

Day 4: I get to make real-time decisions that actually matter. Adjusting on the fly, reading the room, meeting kids where they are and it’s challenging AND energizing. #WhyITeach #WeAreChappaqua

Day 5: This job is unpredictable and exhausting but I can’t imagine doing anything else. To every student who’s let me be part of their journey: thank you! 🤍 #WeAreChappaqua

The Phenom is officially the best player in college lacrosse 🤌

Today we shared our animal research books with our kindergarten buddies! 🥳 #WeAreChappaqua

Math games galore with the Lisa Rudovic class! Fractions, multiplication, division and SEL.

Sisters Nicole, Ashley and Chloe Humphrey dreamed of playing lacrosse at the same college, but “between COVID, injuries, a couple trips to the transfer portal,” they weren’t sure it would be possible. But then, “the stars aligned” and the Humphrey sisters helped UNC Women's Lacrosse win
