One of my new favorite parts of #virtualteaching is wearing props to engage students, and having students not say a word. 🤣😂#WhateverItTakes #telltaleheart ❤️#WatchusSoar

Students did such a great job sharing their literary elements presentations this morning! It was so wonderful hearing their voices and ideas! #itsthesmallthings #FCPSVanguard #watchussoar

“Classroom management is not about having the right rules… it’s about having the right relationships.” ~ #SusanColton #EdChat

This year I have learned the importance of making connections and involving students (and sometimes their pets🤣 )in the learning process more than ever! #VanguardPOP

This has been a year like no other making me so thankful for the support of #FCPSVanguard. Our time together to share ideas and learn from our guest speakers was a highlight where I learned the importance of meeting students where they are in the learning process.

8th grade is off to a great start! What do you want to BE this school year? #BacktoSchool2021 #UMSHawks

Soooo Goood!!! The Traditional Authentic Mexican Food truck lunch for our UMS Hawks was a big hit today! Their salsa had a next level kick of spice to it! Huge THANK YOU to the UMS PTSA for providing us with this fantastic lunch during staff appreciation week.

Our lesson on connotation & denotation really helped students visualize the shades of meaning! Thank you Lowe's! #watchussoar #8thgradelanguagearts #fcpsela #shadesofmeaning

LITERACY! LITERACY! LITERACY! Ms. Kozimor is hosting “Book Tasting” today in the Hawk Nest. Her Ss get 5 minutes per rotation to review a book and take notes while getting to enjoy snacks. On Monday, each student will get to pick their favorite book to take with them to read!
