I find that one of the most difficult aspects of being a school teacher is NOT being able to take pics of all these amazing kiddos in action!

Want to be the kids favorite elementary school teacher? Find a butterfly, name him George, and hope he stays on your shirt for the day. @LaurelRidgeES @fairfaxcounty @FCPSSTEAM @FCPSScience @fcpsnews #STEAM #STEM

I'm feeling very appreciated this morning. One of the 6th grade boys just delivered eggs! @LaurelRidgeES @fairfaxcounty @FCPSSTEAM @FCPSScience @fcpsnews #STEAM #STEM

After a long day of virtual learning, several minutes into overtime with your last class, and as you end the lesson a bunch of first graders say that they don't want to leave... 🥰.

We've been using the Engineering Design Process to plan Rube Goldberg machines. Here's one in action! @LaurelRidgeES @fairfaxcounty @FCPSSTEAM @FCPSScience @fcpsnews @fairfax_county @PostSchools #STEAM #STEM #STEAMEdSpotlight #TeachLRESMaking

The Madagascar hissers had babies! These exotic insects make the perfect container pet. They are extremely low maintenance, intrigue friends, cannot fly, and cannot bite, pinch or sting. Also, they require human care, making them incapable of infestation. FREE for a good home!

In this time of social distancing, the quarantine and nonessential business closures, it’s easy to fall into a rut and get caught up waiting for something to change. It’s more helpful to remember that we are not the first to go through hard times….

The @LaurelRidgeES students are now enrolled in STEAM on Blackboard. Also, please collect 2 liter soda bottles for our rocketry unit (4th grade in Spring and 3rd grade in Fall). Happy Earth Day 2020! @FCPSSTEAM @FCPSScience @fcpsnews @Region4FCPS #EarthDay2020 #EarthDay
