We are excited to use Twitter. Today was Spirit Day and we are happy Huskies! Innovation Elementary Claire Peters

Every day we have Morning Meeting. We play games together like Name the Class and Buzz. Sometimes we are sitting and sometimes we are standing. We like when we play the games nicely. It is fun to play together! 😀😃

We did a science experiment to practice making observations like scientists. We put mystery balls into the water and waited to see what would happen. The color went into the water and the balls started to dissolve. Innovation Elementary

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Sometimes at Morning Meeting we play a game called Buzz. We count by 1s around the circle and when we say a number that we say when we count by 5s we say Buzz and sit down. We like to be the winner and we like to stand up. 🐝😀

We did #hourofcode and used Dash robots. We had to write code together to tell Dash how to move through the obstacle course. Nobody made it. Dash bumped into the obstacles. We had to fix the bugs! Coding was epic! 🤖😁Innovation Elementary

We have some kindness helpers and they give us kindness missions to do. We named them Snowy and Anna. Some people think they are elves. They move around to a new spot in the classroom every night. We really like them and being kind! 🐧☃️💖 Innovation Elementary

We made UV detector bracelets. When UV light is detected, the beads change color. If there is UV light, we should wear sunscreen to be sun safe! Innovation Elementary Thanks @asfsinvstation for the idea! ☀️😁

We made hats as part of a Mystery Science lesson. We had to make hats that would keep us cool, be absorbent, and keep the sun off of our face. We had to think about the properties of each material and be creative! 🧢👒🎩🎓🪖⛑☀️Innovation Elementary

We are learning about symbols and landforms on maps. We are learning how to make a map and use the symbols to know where we are. A 🌳 can stand for a forest or an 🍎 for a grocery store. Maps are awesome! 🗺️

It was our 100th Day of School! We made cereal necklaces with 10 groups of 10, we wrote about what we will do when we are 100 years old, and we tried to see how many things we could do in 100 seconds like hop on one foot or write our names. It was awesome! 💯🥳 Innovation Elementary

Thank you Francisco Durán, Ed.D. for joining us Innovation Elementary as a mystery reader for Read Across America week! Huskies loved your book Dreamers and your encouraging words to be BIG dreamers and to read, read, read! 📚🌟🐾🐾✨ #ArlingtonReads Arlington Public Schools Claire Peters @1wFirst @2CHuskies

We are learning about animals and their characteristics. We sorted animals into groups based on how they move (swim or fly), where they live (desert or arctic), or their body covering (scales or feathers). 🐟🐥🐍🐻‍❄️🦎🦅 Innovation Elementary

We had a mystery reader! We got clues and tried to guess who it would be. It was a mom of someone in our class. We thought the book was awesome! 📚 Innovation Elementary

It is Spirit Week at Innovation Elementary ! Today was Wacky Tacky Day and we are not matching and are very silly. Yesterday was Heritage Day and we wore things from the countries where our families are from. We think Spirit Week is incredible! 🤪👘

We are learning about force and motion. Things can move in many ways like straight, back and forth, and in circles. We made spinners and they spin in a circle as they fall. We thought the spinners were incredible. Innovation Elementary 🔄 😍

We learned about Earth Day which is today! We all pledged that we will take care of the Earth by picking up trash, recycling, and reusing paper or water bottles. This will help keep Earth clean and healthy! Innovation Elementary #EarthDay 🌎😀♻️☀️

We read a book called Give Bees a Chance and we decided to plant pollinator plants to help bees and butterflies. When the flowers grow, it will help the bees. We planted 3 kinds of flowers that are native plants. We can't wait until the flowers grow! 🌹🐝🦋 Innovation Elementary
