So grateful to the wonderful educators who joined our session today! I felt so inspired by everyone’s drive and dedication to fostering a sense of belonging for and with our students🌟

“Impactful interactions center on presence, play, and possibility.” Brooklyn Raney brought all 3 P’s to #WeAreChappaqua today! Absolutely loved the energy around building trust, creating healthy boundaries, and being who our students (and colleagues) need us to be. So grateful 🌟

Thank you to the amazing Christine Free for giving our #WOschool musicians the opportunity to creatively express themselves on our playgrounds! Students being encouraged to tap into their feelings while they represent their “best selves” through music is so powerful 🎶😍🥁

Our amazing #WOschool 3rd graders took on the Marble Run challenge in our #WOglc and their designs were incredible! Their process was challenging but it was met with perseverance, creativity, and teamwork. Thanks for including me in this exciting work!#WeAreChappaqua #STEAM🌀🤝🎢

Our #KinderCreators from @katie_loretan79’s brought so much creativity to our #makerspace! These architects & storytellers constructed their favorite places and added labels to support their writing adventures. I’m ready for a trip to Target! #TechLiteracy #WeAreChappaqua💡👷📝

Channeling our inner Sara Cury today as our 1st grade shape-itects took on our #makerspace! They explored architectural designs, studied shapes, and designed & built their own structures. Collaboration, conversation, and creativity were sky high! 👷🏙️ #WOschool #WeAreChappaqua

So grateful for this group and all of the incredible ways they believe in and support our colleagues and students! 🤝🥰🙌 #WeAreChappaqua

Such a special library class today with Kayley the Elf! Our #WOschool kinders taught her all about the mood meter, book shopping, and sitting in “smart spots”. She even stayed to enjoy a special read aloud! Thank you Ms. Tierney for bringing our students so much joy 🥰

A beautiful holiday sing-a-long with our incredible Christine Free and #WOschool singers to end the week! And some bonus guest performers to add to the fun. 🤩🎶 #WeAreChappaqua Nadia Buffa Andrew Corsilia James Skoog

How did you prepare for the snow storm? #WOschool buddy classes used the #DesignThinking process to bring their snowy day dreams to life! From ski slopes & hot chocolate stands to snowball makers & snowy candyland board games, their creativity knows no bounds! ☃️ #WeAreChappaqua
