Where unanswered questions become big ideas that grow into real solutions.

Name a popular children's book using only emojis! Then scroll down and guess the other titles. Maybe The Giving Tree would be "🫴🌳"!

The excitement at @EasternWCPS is contagious! @Kelly_Houpt is ready to foster the ❤️ of reading with weeding, reorganization and updates for the new school year. #cleancarpetcounts

Gardens and farms are popping up all over the Learning Commons this week! But, how can we keep out those rascally rabbits?! @candacemfleming #munchamunchamuncha #ekd_reads

[Eastern Elementary Media Center @EasternES_Reads]

While our PreK Gardeners have been building fences to keep the rabbits out, our first grade friends have been planning how to launch rabbits OVER the fences. Stay tuned to find out how successful they were! #munchamunchamuncha #ekd_reads @candacemFleming

Monday Robotics Lunch Club is always so much fun! We had 18 programmers learning the ins and outs of using code loops to create geometric shapes with @SpheroEdu. #ekd_codes @emmakdoub

Figure skating in the library?!?! Absolutely!

Second graders are coding @Ozobots to skate across paper rinks and onto the winners’ podium! #ekd_codes #wcpsmd #Ozobot #WinterOlympics

[Eastern Elementary Media Center @EasternES_Reads]

Welcome to the 2022 EKD Winter @Sphero Olympics! Ss are writing code to compete in figure skating, speed skating, slalom, and ski jumping competitions. It is much harder to write successful code than the code-thletes thought it would be! #ekd_codes #wcpsmd #WinterOlympics2022

[Eastern Elementary Media Center @EasternES_Reads]

Winter Olympics PreK Style! We built #lego slalom courses and coded our Vex 123 robots to go for the gold! #ekd_codes #wcpsmd #WinterOlympics @VEXRobotics

What’s not to love about Monday Lunch Robotics Club? #ekd_codes #ozobot #wcpsmd

Cloudy with a chance of . . . Chickens?!
Ss wrote code to spawn chickens, create lava towers, and more. One future programmer spawned a million chickens. The Learning Commons erupted into giggles as her screen fill with chickens!

Our 1st #googleforlittles book study session @emmakdoub was a success! Ts used knowledge gained to create various types of @GoogleDrawing s Ss can access in their classrooms! @AnnKAnders @LScumpieru @HurleBen @coltybugsmama @KerryWalent @CarlyShockey @pqrowe @mrs_rbarnhart

@pqrowe Welcome to EKD!!

[Eastern Elementary Media Center @EasternES_Reads]

Celebrating #DLD2021 by exploring how empathy can help us be #WCPSBetterTogether. We read&analyzed the personification in I'm Worried by @michaelianblack & @inkyelbows. Then, created our own personified objects to demonstrate our understanding of others' feelings. #EKD_Reads

[Eastern Elementary Media Center @EasternES_Reads]

We may be virtual but we are still coding together and sharing our successes via Jamboard to demonstrate critical and computational thinking, problem solving, and perseverance. #HourofCode2020 #EKD_Reads #cs4md #WCPSBetterTogether
