Design the tallest tower using 50 index cards (no tape!!) that can support the load of a cell phone for 1 min. Which tower do you think won? Using habits of mind and following the Engineering Design Process, these engineers took on the challenge! @WM_CFGE @fcpsaap @McNairUpperES

“Make the largest six digit number (no digit repeats!) with a 1 in the hundreds place.” Deep thinking and connections this morning as these 4th graders played M3’s Make It, Say It and reflected on their strategies. @MathematicsFcps @McNairUpperES

🌟A creative morning with Mrs. McCarthy’s Mustangs! They visualized, used art to express their ideas, and enthusiastically shared their work with each other at the end! 🌟

[Mrs. McCarthy @McCarthyin3rd]

We had a wonderful time practicing our visualization skills with @MrsJTweets2020 today! What do you see in your mind when you read “watermelons falling out of a yellow van in a flood”!

Mrs. Gillions & Mrs. Teague’s 4th gr classes held their 1st Socratic Seminars today! These Ss engaged in Seminar in 3rd grade, so they picked right up with using quality talk & active listening to create authentic, student-led discussion around the book Tuesday. @McNairUpperES

[Mallory Janofsky/Mrs. J @MrsJTweets2020]

Thank you @fcpsaap for sending us Space, Structure and Story! These 6th graders loved engaging in conversation around MC Escher’s art!

[Mallory Janofsky/Mrs. J @MrsJTweets2020]

Fun morning with Miss Hosty’s Mustangs! They practiced CCT Visualization and drew detailed pictures of an animal that matched a poem. Students “saw” cats, wolves, skunks, dogs and more! @McNairUpperES @fcpsaap

4th graders sorting out the “big ideas” and writing agreements that emerged from their brainstorm about creating a culture of growth mindset. Never underestimate the depth of what kids can do to support each other. This thoughtful group was SO inspiring. @McNairUpperES @fcpsaap

Our 3rd & 5th grade Young Scholars kicked off their work as Collaborators today! They learned about the hub, motors & sensors & even had some time for free building. Mrs. Michaels & I can’t wait to see what they accomplish this year! @McNairUpperES @fcpsaap @LEGO_Education

[Mallory Janofsky/Mrs. J @MrsJTweets2020]

Still buzzing about Morning Meeting with @McCarthyin3rd! What a fun, energetic & kind group - I can't wait to come back for our lesson next week!

[Mrs. McCarthy @McCarthyin3rd]

[Mallory Janofsky/Mrs. J @MrsJTweets2020]

@McCarthyin3rd I had so much fun with your Frogs & Flies!! Can't wait until next time!

[Mallory Janofsky/Mrs. J @MrsJTweets2020]

Had the best time investigating Dan’s Maneki Neko Bank problem with @mrsadkissonfcps class today! The strategies these 3rd graders used to combine 5 groups of 47 cents blew me away. There were too many to chart! @McNairUpperES
