Welcome back! In Mosaic students (K-2) will be learning about the meaning of The Pledge of Allegiance and students (3-5) will research Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

K, 1, and 2 brainstorm what they think they know about The Pledge of Allegiance. Dr. Lynne Wright

“Why is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. still important today?” 3rd, 4th and 5th graders begin to research (citing their sources) MLK as they consider this question. Research notes are posted in their SeeSaw accounts. #APSIsAwesome Dr. Lynne Wright @APS_OEE

4th and 5th graders take a 15 minute break from their MLK research to think about DeAndre Arnold and the Oscar nominated short film Hair Love. Take time as a family to discuss your views on the topic of hair. Dr. Lynne Wright @APS_OEE

Today's #OakieWave Challenge is MOVIE MONDAY! (Perfect since it's Star Wars Day, too!) Movies involve SO many kinds of art: acting, cinematography, writing a script, designing a set, even hair and makeup design! Watch a movie and notice how all those types of art come together.

At tonight’s School Board meeting, the APS School Board named Dr. Francisco Durán as the new Superintendent of Arlington Public Schools. Welcome aboard Dr. Durán! We look forward to working with you! apsva.us/post/arlington…
