Thompson Cougars are problem solvers! What do you do when you want to make brownies but don’t have an oven? Use a waffle iron (thanks ⁦@TestKitchen⁩). And if you don’t have the chocolate in ounces? Convert & multiply! #LastDayOfSchool #ThompsonIsExcellence ⁦@CFBISD⁩

The best way to spend our last #FunFriday? Reinforce our learning by making lemon poppyseed pancakes, of course! Equivalent fractions, parts of a plant & properties of matter are much more fun when they’re tasty. ⁦@BerkeleyEverett⁩ @cfbisd #ThompsonIsExcellence #2ndGrade

Living Museum was an amazing success! Students showcased their hard work, speaking with pride and excitement. ❤️ It is one of THE BEST parts of teaching #2ndGrade @CFBISD #ThompsonIsExcellence ⁦@CFB_Soc_Studies⁩

This determined Cougar was on fire 🔥 today! At the BOY, he said he was going to work hard academically so that he could play hard��and he sure met that goal! So proud of his efforts and achievements! #ThompsonIsExcellence #2ndGrade ⁦@CFBISD⁩

Making pizza for #FunFriday The best part was hearing students making cross-curricular connections on their own! They tied in multiplication, food chains, and economics. So proud of how much they’ve grown this year! #ThompsonIsExcellence ⁦@CFBISD⁩ ⁦#2ndGrade

My #success this year was making learning fun again. School memories should = adventures, where knowledge & excitement go together. Thanks Frishman, CRod @MrsHollowayK @MsAguilar02 @MrsRoot48 @mrswiggins83 @j_chamberlain_ @MrsPershing for help/inspiration #ThompsonIsExcellence

What an excellent performance tonight by our ⁩Cougar Choir! Especially love how ⁦@MrsK_Music⁩ allows the students to bravely overcome their shyness. Love that determination! #ThompsonIsExcellence

Military children endure the deployment of their loved ones, multiple moves, and so much more so that their parents and guardians can serve our country. The Month of the Military Child is all about honoring their sacrifice and shining a light on family in our military.

As part of the #STEM2Space initiative, #Guardians recently spoke to educators about the importance of STEM in the Space Force, and discussed various tools they can implement in their classrooms to continue inspiring the future of our nation. #SemperSupra

⁦#ThompsonIsExcellence because librarian @mrswiggins83⁩ helps us plan awesome adventures (plus lots of other stuff). We visited Washington DC since we had learned about government leaders. #2ndGrade

Story problems where the start is unknown can be quite difficult. But it helps when your peers teach you how to start. 🥲 When shy students are brave enough to stand up in front of their classmates to explain their thinking. #ThompsonIsExcellence #2ndGrade #TogetherWeRiseCFB

Fragrant Friday! Science lesson meets social emotional learning. We witnessed how boiling water can change textures in various ways… and we connected that concept to our attitudes. #ThompsonIsExcellence #2ndGrade ⁦@CFBISD⁩

Love it when students share their extracurricular activities with us! ⁦@MrsRoot48⁩ and I got to see this brave kiddo in his element tonight showing off some stellar karate kicks. ⁦@CFBISD⁩ #ThompsonIsExcellence

Ran across this great story while reading for one of my courses. Asking quality questions is vital. #ThompsonIsExcellence #ThompsonReads

Fun & Flavorful Friday! In discussing carnivores & herbivores, the question came up as to what were herbs anyway. So we smelled 👃 & compared herbs 🌿. Overheard: “These smell good! Now I’m going to cook 🥘 over break.” #2ndGrade #ThompsonIsExcellence ⁦@CFBISD⁩

THREE TRUTHS AND A LIE… math style. These students are using what they know about place value to create a mystery. Which three numbers are the same value, but just in different forms?… and which number is a FRAUD? #ThompsonIsExcellence #2ndGrade #CFBmath ⁦@CFBISD⁩

Open House tonight was a blast! Students showed off their animal habitat dioramas, invited their families to experience our classroom, and even challenged them to solve a multi-step story problem. #ThompsonIsExcellence #2ndGrade @CFBISD

We celebrated #BlackHistoryMonth by learning about trailblazers like Constance Baker Motley. How neat to learn that she shared character traits with Thompson Cougars, like being determined and problem solvers! #ThompsonIsExcellence #2ndGrade

Appreciation…one of life’s great motivators. Take time to let those around you know you appreciate them. Have a fantastic Tuesday! Thanks for helping accelerate the change our Air Force needs. We know it’s not easy, but it’s a task we are fully capable of handling - together.

Destination Imagination ⁦@IDODI⁩ was awesome! These K & 1 students created a skit, “home” and did an instant challenge. Teamwork + creativity = success. @CFBRainwater #MissonSuccess ⁦@CFBISD⁩ ⁦@ElizabethLibe12⁩
