🙏 for everything APS and Cleveland Ave! 4 years ago I was a first year teacher and now I move on to NYC as an infinitely better educator than when I walked in the door. 🙏 to everyone I’ve met along the way! @APSClevelandES@TheCAEPrincipal @AP_KBall @apsupdate
@TeachMrGray @APSClevelandES@TheCAEPrincipal @AP_KBall @apsupdate Thanks! I’ll be sure to keep my eye on you, putting my bets on the youngest superintendent in history.
Spent our last day of school harvesting and preparing a huge salad made entirely from veggies grown in our garden! Lettuce, kale, radish, beans, peas, dill and strawberries! @APSClevelandES@TheCAEPrincipal@ctae_in_aps @APS_K5Science
5th used @tinkercad to design window sill planters and used CER to explain if 3D printing uses physical or chemical change. With help from @APSITJim , we’ve got four 3D printers going at once to print them all! @TheCAEPrincipal@APSClevelandES @APS_K5Science
Entering spring salad mode! Our Cleveland Ave scholars have some serious harvesting, cooking and eating to do before summer break! 🍓 🥬 🥤Smoothies, lettuce wraps, and strawberry mint lemonade are on the menu too! @APSClevelandES@TheCAEPrincipal @AP_KBall @APS_K5Science
@Selenaflorence Geting the roadmap ready! Through agriculture, hydroponic gardening, resource conservation, habitat improvement, and health and safety initiatives, the whole school will drive toward solutions for the question “How can we improve the lives of all living things in our community?”
Let the alignment begin! 🤔 Some serious brainstorming going on to build a map of PBL unit “seeds” that are math driven, community based, and follow a year long overarching driving question. @APSClevelandES@TheCAEPrincipal @APS_K5Science @DocSTEM
Who says life cycles is just for 2nd graders? Got a moment to check out the freshly hatched house finches nesting on my porch when the parents flew off to get food! Nature is fascinating and science is for everyone!
🍓 2nd grade getting their strawberry harvest on! We discussed the life cycle of the plant, then harvested seeds that we will graph and plant next week! @APSClevelandES@TheCAEPrincipal @APS_K5Science @ctae_in_aps
How can you grow new plants without buying seeds? By harvesting, of course! 2nd grade gets hands on harvesting and planting peas from our hydroponic garden. Bringing life cycles to life! @APSClevelandES@TheCAEPrincipal @APS_K5Science
Collaborated with our wonderful 3rd grade teacher Ms. Price to create a SS, Science and ELA integrated lesson centered on the pottery and poetry of David “Dave the Potter” Drake! @APSClevelandES@TheCAEPrincipal @APS_K5Science @APS_K5SStudies
The CAE garden is SPRINGing to life! 🍅 🥬 🌱 Everything is started from seeds weeks ago and planted by students! The greenhouse is full of back up 🍅, 🫑 are coming soon and 🍓 are about to fruit! @TheCAEPrincipal @AP_KBall @APSClevelandES @APS_K5Science @FoodCorps
Sundial complete and working like a charm! In your opinion, is a digital, analog or sundial clock the best? Maybe the 2nd grade writers can help you out! @APSClevelandES@TheCAEPrincipal @AP_KBall @APS_K5Science Thanks for joining us in a group today @DocSTEM!
