I am sharing over in Instagram about my classroom and the successes (and challenges!) that we have had so far this year! This book was one of the successes! 😍 @TimberLaneES instagram.com/p/CwoZl2attAl/…
I’ll be experimenting with spending time over on Instagram and Threads at chthompson188 as I kick off this school year as a classroom teacher! Just feeling the vibes there. Come find me and follow my journey back into to the classroom there! instagram.com/reel/Cv-t_BaAy…
I have two Summer projects completed for my classroom! Author’s share bench repainted ✔️ Library corner cozy cushions sewed ✔️
Happy summer break teachers! I sure am smiling big to be on summer break, but these are just a few of the special smiles that I will keep in my heart all summer long! Enjoy!
So. Next school year big changes are coming for me. I'm returning to the classroom @TimberLaneES after 10 years! I'm so excited but scrambling to supply my classroom with everything it needs! Please consider helping me on my journey. donorschoose.org/project/sta…
I’ve been waiting to get this into my hands and onto the top of my summer reading pile! Can’t wait to hear what these two brilliant educators have to say on this important topic. @stenhousepub @jenorr @MattRKay
This is what PROUD looks like. (Not pictured= my proud face!) @FCPS_TitleI @TimberLaneES
These young writers have had such a beautiful introduction to writing this year! Choice? ✅ Audience? ✅ purpose? ✅ Explicit instruction on conventions? ✅ Nothing is better than a kindergartener who identifies as a writer. 😍 @TimberLaneES @fcpsTitleILit

Dancing into the long weekend like I’m eating fresh peas from the garden! @TimberLaneES @fcpsGet2Green @msjonovich #outdooreducation
Green team members @TimberLaneES work on the latest installation to improve our schoolyard habitat with our master gardener! Our team used an audit from @EcoSchoolsUSA to decide what we needed and a grant from @DominionEnergy made it happen! @fcpsGet2Green #outdooreducation
What a joyful field trip to @WolfTrap_Edu Theatre in the woods today!! With @TimberLaneES and @faucettinfirst
A @TimberLaneES kindergartener made this excellent depiction of me in my new eyewear! Progressives (and middle age) can be fun after all. Thanks @WarbyParker

Around the county schools use ESSER funds to address the learning gap. @TimberLaneES used ESSER funds to have a STEAM day students participated in STEAM-azing experiments and activities that tested their problem-solving skills. Give us your input on how FCPS is using ESSER funds.
So much to talk about and so much joy at the @NationalZoo today with @TimberLaneES @EmmaChaconED kindergarteners!

.#HandsDownSpeakOut by @kassiaowedekind & @TeacherThomp emphasizes the importance of trusting that all students have brilliant ideas & internal resources to draw upon. Energize the classroom using 28 micro-lessons to encourage rich conversations. hubs.ly/Q01JQkvH0
Emerging packaging engineers collaborate on their design of how they will use the materials to protect a plant in their package. Such amazing partner listening and communication. Engagement through the roof. #fullsteamahead @TimberLaneES @FCPS_TitleI
Kindergarteners engaged in initial thinking about how animals need shelter from weather (rain and sunlight). We practiced using important vocabulary and prepared for their Engineering explorations coming next week during @TimberLaneES STEAM week.
