Huge congratulations to this rock star. An amazing teacher and even better friend. #watchher #movethem
It’s pretty rare that our entire staff agrees on any one topic. However, when you want someone that is going to MOVE kids over the line, there is no doubt that Jen Knox is the absolute best of the best. Congrats to our teacher of the year! #watchus #honoryou @FCPSTrailblazer

#inspired @ButterflyRidge1 @FCPSMaryland by her writing. Let’s remind our students the purpose of an education. “We do not write in order to be understood; we write in order to understand.”

Two awesome phone calls home today for two second graders who crushed their #dibelsprogressmonitoring by reaching the MOY target. Blazers are proud to share their progress with their families! #watchthem @BRESblazers @FCPSTrailblazer

Shared a #pl experience with the SE team on what’s happening in the brain as we learn to read from Dr. @carolyn_strom. Check out these amazing #sketchnotes! We can’t wait to share our models with the kids we serve. #watchus @MrsMurphyBRES @MsHoltz_ @ButterflyRidge1

If you don’t love what you do, why are you doing it? #watchus
How do you do car riders? Rule number one: You have to dance through the cross walk! #watchus #havegoodmornings #everymorning @FCPSTrailblazer @MrWeis_FCPS @samerenap @MrsCoffeyFCPS @TSmithTeach

I’m loving working with these kiddos this summer! ♥️♥️
FAST students participated in an SEL lesson today where they discussed welcoming new friends to our building next year and what it means to be a good pen pal! We sent messages of kindness ! @FCPSMaryland @FCPSTrailblazer @FCPSFAST

So glad I had the opportunity to take my FAST kiddos down to meet Dr. Dyson today. These rising 4th and 5th grade kiddos enjoyed practicing how to introduce themselves to someone new and sharing what makes BRES epic during our morning meeting. #lifeskills #watchus @FCPSFAST
We were so fortunate that Dr. Dyson hosted her meet and greet at our school!Thank you for your graciousness! We ALL can not wait to start this new chapter with you! You are officially an honorary BLAZER! #watchus #celebrateleadership @FCPSMaryland @samerenap @FCPSTrailblazer

I love this! I was a kid who moved around a lot. If I walked in a room and saw a desk ready for me I’d feel so welcome in that classroom - like this teacher was waiting for me! #culture #classroomclimate

BRES represents diversity. Flags from our students' many home countries sparked many prideful students, calling out where they are from throughout the day. #oneteam #OneFamily #ourfamily
