It's the first day of spring! Today is also the March equinox, when the Northern and Southern hemispheres receive roughly equal amounts of sunlight. Warmer weather is forecast for this week in Arlington, so take a stroll and enjoy the blooms around your neighborhood.

These 7th graders used their own free time to start bok choy and collard greens seeds for the Jefferson Garden! Yellow Jackets rock! #TJMSRocks #APSGreen

It was an indoor Compost Club due to rain today, but we still had a great time! We made shirts and watched part of the great soil health documentary "Kiss the Ground" ! Thanks for joining us @Kipmalinosky ! #APSGreen

@TJMSgifted and I think we need to start posting our inspirational teacher fashion, but what should our hashtag be? #PublicSchoolFits ? #TJMSitscalledfashionlookitup ?? Let us know!

Kids haven’t spoken to each other in forever! So @LeonbergerTJMS decided to hit ‘em with a Socratic Seminar right out of the gate. Science, Ethics, the story Henrietta Lacks and some awkward silences. Gotta love middle school 👍#tjmsrocks @APSGifted @JeffersonIBMYP

[Ms. Leonberger @LeonbergerTJMS]

I want to rec the Pride and Prejudance ep of @GreatNorthFOX to any other teachers who run GSAs! It is a great intro to the hidden history of our #LGBTQ community and it has a very sweet message about a girl becoming an ally to her gay brother. My #GSA kids LOVED it 🏳️‍🌈

@JeffersonReads @JeffersonIBMYP @MrsBennettELA @MsRotchford @APSLibrarians I'm devastated that you didn't get me in my #VCU gear!

[Ms. Leonberger @LeonbergerTJMS]

The Jefferson Garden is all about #upcycleThursday! We reuse plastic jugs for Winter sowing, cardboard boxes for weed control, and the ultimate upcycle: yard waste to compost! 🌱🌎🌍🌏 #APSgreen #tjmsrocks #EarthDay2021

[Ms. Leonberger @LeonbergerTJMS]

Happy Earth Day 🌏🌍🌎 It's also #upcycleThursday ! There's lots of great examples of reusing and up-cycling here at TJMS, stay tuned! #APSgreen #EarthDay
