FMMS TOPS enjoyed the sunshine and our beautiful campus courtyard space to decorate our annual kindness rocks yesterday. 💜

Congratulations to Cassidy Landis for being named Red Apple New Teacher of the Year for @ForestMeadowMS! This honor goes to exceptional first year teachers at each campus. @sburtrisd @IamBranum #RISDBeTheOne #RISDAchieve

@chels_alvarado @sburtrisd @ForestMeadowMS Congratulations! It's all for the kids!

The FMMS Counseling Team cares deeply about offering the best support we can for our @ForestMeadowMS students and their families. Following best practices in developing a comprehensive counseling program is one way we work to do so. We're grateful for this accomplishment!

This team is my favorite. We had such a great time digging into data and learning how to be successful with our new DDI model. 💜 #squadgoals @ForestMeadowMS @MrsCoutant

Celebrating new beginnings at Forest Meadow Middle School! Thanks to the community who came together to mark the start of an exciting new chapter!! #RISDBeTheOne

Too easy. 🏐🐴⚡️💜

Teaching ESL means for the first time ever I get to keep my kids from one year to the next! These 7th graders have all the energy and enthusiasm I could ask for, and I've got some ideas to challenge them next year! HAGS, Chargers! @ForestMeadowJH @RISDMET

Saying goodbye to these 8th graders was especially hard. I relied on their positivity and leadership as a 1st year ESL teacher. Their dedication to growth and willingness to take risks inspired and challenged me. Best wishes for HS! @LakeHighlandsHS @ForestMeadowJH @RISDMET

What do the 🍎 1st year Teacher of the Year, Carl Dockery, Secondary Counselor of the Year @chels_alvarado & the #LHLC Secondary Teacher of the Year @RoteBrian have in common? They are all @ForestMeadowJH Chargers💜🐴 I could not be more proud of these amazing educators!

As standardized testing season begins, remember: When a 2nd-grade math question is set at a 3rd or 4th grade reading level, the goal is to create a normative distribution among test-takers, instead of actually measuring students' knowledge of 2nd grade math curriculum.

O.M.G!!! Stand up & CHEER for the outstanding @FmjhCheer Squad who just brought home the trophy & title of GRAND CHAMPIONS from the @gisdnews Cheer Competition! This is a 1st for @ForestMeadowJH & these ladies & their coach @MsDickeyFMJH deserve all the praise! So proud💜🐴

Big announcement for 2024! @MrHistoryCoach and I have been working towards this for years. It has been a long and difficult journey and we are simply full of joy and ready to enter the next chapter of our lives!

We ended our class before break with a festive craft. I had a whole flock of turkeys in B113. I thought turkeys were a North American bird, but my ESL students knew exactly what they were and sound like??? Gobble gobble everyone! @ForestMeadowJH @RISDMET @butterball

One Ss said he has seen a ghost... 👀😨😱

Putting Halloween candy to work... ESL Ss used 5 senses vocab to describe how their favorite candies look, smell, feel, sound, and, of course, TASTE! Our goal was to use as many English words as possible! What's your favorite candy? @ForestMeadowJH @RISDMET @RLAinRISD

Mr. Oubre is one of a kind! Whether it’s celebrating students with Nike gift cards for their accomplishments or roaming the halls reminding students of a quiz/test coming up with some Qs to help! We are so thankful for him!💜🐴💜 #FMJHHonorTheImpact #RISDWeAreOne #RISDBelieves

Meet our principal, @sburtrisd 💜🐴💜 She is a visionary, student led, & truly cares about her staff. We are lucky to have her! She is constantly improving systems based on feedback & truly cares about the students & staff at FMJH. Happy Principal Appreciation month!

In ESL, we use simple texts, like The Three Little Pigs, but we support our complex analysis with text evidence! #differentiation #ESLLearning @ForestMeadowJH @RISDMET @RLAinRISD #RISDWeAreOne

Our ESL class loved kicking off reading groups today! Each group had a different spooky story to fit their reading levels and challenge their skills. @ForestMeadowJH @RISDMET #RISDWeAreOne @RLAinRISD
