Launched our next PBL with mid year awards which led into discussion and need to knows about ways we can celebrate the actions of others in our school! PBLWorks #piranhapride

Collected and analyzed word beginnings, middles, and endings today! These word builders did an amazing job constructing and demolishing words! #PhonicsUOS Lucy Calkins #piranhapride

As, Archeologists & Historians how can we share the contributions of Ancient Civilizations? - “go there a see it.” They say. Students designed their civilizations in VR and Minecraft to let the audience experience what the contributions would look like in Ancient times.

Reading The Bad Sees gave us much needed gentle reminders about showing kindness! Room 128 started our own kindness ABCs! To be continued with the read aloud The Good Egg... 😊 #buildrelationships #piranhapride #KindnessMatters

To my family in Room 128 I miss you all SO much ❤️❤️❤️ herviewfromhome.com/kids-students-…

My week can be summarized in following sentence: “I don’t really know what I’m doing, but I’m trying, and I care deeply.”

Take care of you and your family during these difficult times. Take advantage of this time to reconnect with the simple things in life. Remember we are in this together! ❤ @WaxpoolES The most important thing right now isn't academics, it's relationships. #buildrelationships

“I have cultivated habits and routines to start off the school year on a positive note. I compare this work to that of a gardener’s. Seeds planted in August will bloom all the way to June.” Here’s how to create successful partnerships with parents. edutopia.org/article/strate…

9 LCPS News schools worked all summer with PBLWorks to build leadership capacity necessary to implement & sustain #HQPBL. Today, team present learning & plans for feedback. "I want this [PBL] to be WHO WE ARE!" #LeadLoudoun

Experts can still visit Ss during distance learning! @WaxpoolES first grade Ss visit with shenandoahrescue.org to build knowledge during their PBL project and ask their need to know questions. #lcps21 PBLWorks Alexis Roberts @MissPineda_ Lauren Chamberlin
