Home learning challenge 1: I gave plans for a Lego catapult, but told kids that if they didn't have Legos, that they could build it out of anything. This is a 4th grader's catapult (probably some help from dad) I imagine some serious 5Cs work! Isle of Wight County Schools WES_Hornets #HORNETS

#Homelearning #DanceParty I asked students to code a dance party on code.org, then either video their party or create a dance with a loop and video themselves. I love our #creative, #resilient #hornets! Ellen Couch Isle of Wight County Schools Erin Luck

I have been working on a document to share with teachers on the 3 main elements of blended learning. I wanted to create a resource that teachers could pull from no matter what blended learning model they are using. Anyone have any more examples to any element I could add?

Take a look at the incredible work our 5th graders and teachers did! #hornetpride

Deirdre STEM NOLA I’m convinced that kids need simple & practical real world #science & #STEM to do at home for #RemoteLearning ...like ideas from my lists of 77 Simple Ideas (free as PDFs at dailystem.com/resources)

Welcome back Isle of Wight County Schools teachers! Team Canvas is ready for you!!!

Aubrie Ellis, coding teacher at Windsor Elementary, was a finalist for the state Computer Science Educator of the Year award. The program recognizes educators who go above and beyond while using, teaching, or integrating computer science at their schools.

Connecting to students' gifts and talents. Building knowledge using their passions while integrating content. This is good education. I love to see it lived out in my classroom. Students are engaged, excited, cheering successes, and persevering through their challenges.

As we prepare to return to school, keep in mind that special education students are general education students FIRST. Set high expectations for all of your students and they will rise to those expectations. #inclusion #wordsmatter
