Third graders discuss supply and demand in their "marketplace" simulation. One learning was that in a competitive market, you have to monitor your pricing! Love the authentic connections! @TESCougars1 #Cougars ROAR

A dictionary? That's right! Thanks to the Grange our third graders have a personal dictionary to reference. We appreciate their thoughtfulness and generosity. @TESCougars1

Third graders listen to our 5th SGA candidates who share reasons to vote for them. What an authentic speaking and writing experience. Stay tuned for the winners! @TESCougar1 #CougarsROAR

Ven solves our mathematical challenge. How many days can you miss and still meet the 96% expectation for annual school attendance if we have 180 days of school? 7 us the magic number! #cougarsROAR@TESCougars1

@tammwoo0619 Love this lesson!

@3rdwithmspfrang @tammwoo0619 Love that you're talking with students about the importance of being courteous each and every day!

[Thurmont ES Cougars @fcpstes]

Students critique work and make connections to numbers using manipulatives. The AHA moments are awesome- 10 tens equals 100! #CougarsROAR

@13kjs @fcpsDODonnell Love that you're encouraging your students to be word collectors! Thanks for your enthusiasm!!

[Thurmont ES Cougars @fcpstes]

At the Unstuck Conference we talked about the importance of flexibility - how to turn a big deal into a little deal! I wonder how flexible we are as educators?

Think positive, Cougars! Retrain your brain! #CougarsROAR

[Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) @hgse]

Our brains are hard-wired to focus on the negative. But, when we practice #mindfulness, we can predispose our thoughts to be more affirmative. Read for ways you can incorporate positive thinking in your day👇🏻[via @UKnowHGSE]

@TRES_Principal Welcome, Desirae Gulden! #TESProud

[Thurmont ES Cougars @fcpstes]

A great reflection as we start a new school year.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

This fires me up! If you have 30 seconds, please read it. We ask all our teachers to write their own “oath” and post it. This is a first year teacher! This would make any principal proud. (And yeah... we made a good hire.)
