Late tweet. But thank you to the Loudoun County Fire Department for coming out last week to teach our kids fire safety! I know I personally loved seeing the fire truck! #GoGPGators

During inside recess a student asked me to take a picture. I asked, "Picture of what?" He said, "Of us! We collaborated and created a marble run!" When your students use the 5 C's for inside recess, you have to capture the moment! #GoGPGators

Finishing up our ordinal numbers unit with a fun challenge. Students had to use their classroom numbers to put themselves in order! I have some amazing collaborators! #GoGPGators

These 1st Gators were so excited to see their family members on our Wall of Veterans! #GoGPGators #VeteransDay

These Gators are hard at work writing to their kindergarten pen pals in Jacksonville, Florida! #GoGPGators

Yesterday my 1st Gators got a preview of states of matter and we focused on gas. Of course we had to pull out the bubbles! Hope these scientist are enjoying their break! #GoGPGators

When your teacher makes shirts, the class gets shirts!! #team1stgrade #GoGPGators

Thank you to Jen Taylor from Dulles South Food Pantry for being an expert to 1st graders this morning! We learned how good pantries help meet our basic needs. We're excited to be contributors and give back to our community. #GoGPGators

With a little inspiration from Caines Arcade we launched our force and motion PBL unit by creating games out of boxes and inviting kindergarten to come play!! Very impressed by these creative Gators! #GoGPGators

The Force Factory is officially in motion!! For our PBL, we are using our knowledge of force, motion, and how objects move and vibrate to create an arcade for our kindergarten buddies. We've got some great "STAFF" working on awesome games and I'm excited to play #GoGPGators

What a wonderful day of celebrating friendship and kindness! Thank you to my room mom for organizing and planning everything and the parents who came and helped! #GoGPGators

Part 1: We're ready for other classes to come and play in our FORCE FACTORY today! These Gators worked so hard and it shows! #GoGPGators

Part 2: thanks to Ms. Raffo's kindergarten class for playing with us! We hope you learned a little about force and motion while having fun! #GoGPGators

Part 4: thank you to Ms. Price's class for coming down and playing with us as well!! #GoGPGators
