Poinsettia experiments being conducted during virtual learning using the Dümmen Orange, EU trial poinsettias; effects of plant growth regulators on plant height and node count. Also charting temperature and humidity for correlations. #fcpscte

Virtual Learning this morning included plant identification with a closer look at a leaf. Students continue to track poinsettia growth. #plantid #fcpscte

What does our FCPS_CareerTech soil need? Today's small group is testing and will compare our results to the soil test from Penn State. #fcpscte

Thanks to USB microscope from Bioline AgroSciences International, we were able to see whitefly pupae and feeding damage on our Dümmen Orange, EU trial poinsettias. While we'd rather not have whitefly, being able to present real world problems to students virtually is essential! #fcpscte

Mailing home words of encouragement, thanks and some decorations. #fcpscte

Under the microscope today at FCPS_CareerTech - Poinsettia flowers and new roots on the Christmas cactus we're propagating. #fcpscte

This fall students participated in a research study to measure student perceptions/achievement related to science within school-based Agricultural education classes. This awesome goodie bag was in my mailbox this morning! Thanks UF/IFAS College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Clemson CAFLS

#MyHybridDayAtCTC

What a difference a week makes at the @CTC_House. Created beds, and lawn aeration and overseed. Thanks to our industry partners: Rentals Unlimited, FALCAN and Outdoor Illumination. #fcpscte

The FCPS_CareerTech #ScholarSquad was hard at work at the @CTC_House today! Making quick work of sod, foundation plants, irrigation and mulch. #FCPSCTE

Students reviewed pruning methods by drawing the cuts they would make for renewal, thinning and heading back. Followed by a gallery walk to assess their peers. Window markers for the win!

Congratulations to Johana!

We could all use some extra positively. Ss were challenged to write a positive message and add it to the bag. Then when someone needs a boost, they can just grab a note from the bag. When reading them at lunch, they certainly lifted my spirits!

Woohoo! Hope your students enjoy growing, harvesting and learning.

Landscape_CTC came to culinary arts today with onions and potatoes that they harvested from their garden this fall. So together we made bloomin’ onions, cheese fries and some sauces. Our co-curriculum activities tastes better than yours! FCPS-MD FCPS_CareerTech

This crew has been working on our school beautification project. Even rain this morning didn't stop them for finishing phase 1.

Using the game of memory to reinforce leaf shapes as we work on plant identification for our industry certification. #mnlgacph
