Our cougars are putting their critical thinking skills to work!
Each month, we focus on one durable skill from our Portrait of a Cougar, and in March our spotlight was on critical thinking.
Cougars explored what it means to think critically, to ask questions, make connections, and solve problems. These pictures showcase the learning process and the powerful thinking happening in our classrooms every day at Highland!
