@JamestownAPS students had a great time learning about Bollywood yesterday! Thanks to the amazing Ms. Pooja for volunteering and teaching us a fun, energetic Bollywood dance! @APSArts@raifel_faison
As we near the end of Hispanic Heritage Month for this year, I stopped by @JamestownAPS to read the book “Maybe Something Beautiful: How Art Transformed a Neighborhood,” which is about how art inspires transformation & how the smallest artists can accomplish something big.
These scholars were data collectors today! Students in 1st grade created a survey question, then conducted their research! Tomorrow we will turn this data into different forms of representation such as Bar Graphs, Pictographs and Tally Marks!
Many thanks to my @JamestownAPS family for wearing purple today to support me for World Lupus Day! I have been a Lupus Warrior and advocate for 30 years. I am grateful beyond words by their support. My heart is full. 🫶🏾 @APSVirginia@LupusDMV@LupusOrg#WorldLupusDay
1st Graders had a Publishing Party to show off their hard work. We have focused on opinion writing for a few weeks now and I am so proud of their work.
The first graders ROCKED their all-school Morning Meeting today. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any pics or videos because we were too busy beaming with PRIDE. So-here’s a pic of the first grade team instead! 🤣😉❤️ @JulieGrade1@lindsey_gravitz@MissThill2
Author @henakhanbooks visited Jamestown to share about her writing, and making books that reflect who she is! Great visit and awesome author to inspire and teach our students at @JamestownAPS
First graders are unique like snowflakes! Stop by our display case to see what makes our firsties so special! ❄️❤️❄️ @JulieGrade1@missthill2@FirstKalch
@swati1201 Hi, I’m Ellory! I’ve put a lot of thought into this and my answer is 1. Inclusion and Diversity 2. Supportive and Positive Staff Members 3. Acceptance of innovative practices in the classroom 4. Strong Community (and a whole list of other things) #CEP416#PSTPLN
@MBerkal152@swati1201 Megan, I think having a good group of other staff members is crucial for me! I’m the type of person who is driven by the people around me, and I want to be challenged and supported by my colleagues #CEP416#PSTPLN
