Hi Friends! I’ll meet you over on the gram this year. Give me a follow and say hi👋🏼- fabulous stuff going on in fifth grade already! See you there! 😉 @FCPSR5 @fcpsnews @FreedomHillES

Japan Day 14 - the sky was clear and Fuji-san finally came out to show off. I was in awe and so deeply grateful to have this opportunity. What a beautiful day! @fcpsnews @FCPSR2 @FreedomHillES #fhhighlights

In Japan 10 days so far and everything has been amazing! Visited Kyoto, Osaka, and Kawagoe. The food is delicious and the people are so kind. Off to Tokyo next!

Heading to Japan and on the same flight as a former @FreedomHillES student! Such a small, but big, world! #FHHighlights

I let the kids call me by my first name on the last day of school. They look forward to it and say my name way too much 🤪, but it’s a fun treat. They made me my own bday scratch off card and a compliment poster was one of them, so special! 🥰 @FreedomHillES #fhhighlights

Ended our year much the same as we began - with laughter. We reminisced our first impressions and reflected on how far we’ve come. This year was rewarding in many ways and I’m grateful these kids were mine for a little while. @FreedomHillES @FCPSR2 @fcpsnews #fhhighlights

“Dreamin’ with our eyes wide open!” Wrapping up our fifth grade year and ready for the summer! @FreedomHillES #FHHighlights

Had the BEST day at Field Day!!! We laughed, collaborated, communicated, and dumped water all over each other. The absolute most fun. @FreedomHillES @FCPSR2 @fcpsnews @FcpsPOGPOL #fhhighlights

To culminate an amazing week of @FcpsPOGPOL presentations we made pizza and tiramisu! Ss collaborated on toppings and made pizza dough from scratch. We were grateful for Mr. Mawson’s support in the kitchen and had a great day working together! @FreedomHillES @FCPSR2 @fcpsnews

Senior walk through is a favorite event at the end of the year. Extra special this year as two of my kids have siblings graduating from @MStatesmen ! What a special treat to see them come through their old hallways and classrooms. @FreedomHillES @FCPSR2 @fcpsnews #fhhighlights

My walking buddies at recess. ❤️ Beautiful kids that are kind, generous, smart, funny, and loving. Getting our steps while talking business ventures and summer plans. @FreedomHillES @FCPSR2 #fhhighlights

1st Lt. Sarah Small was in Egypt for Exercise Bright Star when she died. A grad of @OaktonHS and @MaryBaldwinU she was a leader and friend to everyone. She was the one who told me I should be an educator. Your friendship & sacrifice are not forgotten. @fcpsnews

RT @DrBradJohnson: If you think standardized tests are a reflection of the real-world, just ask yourself how many problems in the real worl….

So much fun happening here! We love getting outside and picnic often during lunch. Added some water balloon games on Friday and kids had a blast! @FreedomHillES #fhhighlights

That post SOL glow. 🥰 Our fifth grade Eagles have embodied determination, teamwork, and leadership over the past month of testing. We are proud of their hard work and ability to retain a sense of humor through it all! @FreedomHillES @FCPSR2 @fcpsnews #fhhighlights

We make coasters after our first SOL to bring joy to the kids. It’s a favorite yearly and kids leave with the biggest smiles. Lots of Ss give them as Mother’s Day gifts or to grandparents. I got the nicest feedback about them today. @FreedomHillES @FCPSR2 @fcpsnews #fhhighlights

Made instruments in science, played @quizlet Live to review concepts, and capped off the week with Bingo Night. It was a busy, but amazing day and a great way to end our week! @FreedomHillES #FHHighlights
