To think beyond our school walls second graders went to the ocean today to learn how coding can help create new ways to clean our oceans and tried it out themselves too.

Today was the best AAC coding This 2nd grade class has a friend who uses an AAC. Today these kids coding and asked her if she would like to test their code. She instantly clicked Yes and smiled at her friend. Today they were able to let a friend show their voice. @ATS_FCPS

The AAC building kicks off today. We talked about how coding goes beyond the silly things we can make and help to give someone else a voice. Don’t mind me over here cutting onions over my second graders @ATS_FCPS @FCPS_LIS @FCPSSTEAM @fcpsnews

Major shout out to my amazing volunteers that velcro’ed over 240 pieces to help prepare new adapted library boards for my enhance autism classrooms. So much time saved for me so I can build even more to serve our students with brand new books and activities. Thank you!!!!

My 2nd graders have been rocking their coding. To celebrate World Autism Acceptance Day coming up, I have an ambitious coding project for them in @ScratchJr . Here's hoping that building empathy & tech skills now will inspire some to build amazing things. @FCPS_LIS @FCPSSTEAM

We are working hard to make sure that our staff and students are represented in our library on a much larger scale for underrepresented populations in publishing.

Today my highlight were my teachers who found picture books that represented them and their families that I’ve bought as a part of my massive diversity audit. They checked out ten books to read and share with their families because they felt seen. #weneeddiversebooks @FCPS_LIS
