Our Green Team leaders completed their first trash or treasure collection today. What a fun and easy way to reduce our trash and have students work towards being global citizens!#trashortreasure @OldeCreekES @Rubicon @fcpsGet2Green

Check out all of these interactions in our aquatic food web! Thank you @JASONLearning for a meaningful and engaging experience. @fcpsaap

@OldeCreekES Bears utilized our outdoor classroom for our first Green Team meeting! Each student wrote a goal for how they plan to care for nature. Students participated in a teambuilding exercise, escaping the human knot, practicing their collaboration skills. @fcpsGet2Green

@MrsKGlista @Falcon_Criss @WSESMustangs @fcpsaap I’d love a copy as well! Sasmith3 :)

Our concept of relationships launch was a success! After categorizing our post-it’s in groups, students sorted some of their ideas on the generalizations we made. Excited for more relationship building and content connections. @OldeCreekES @fcpsaap

I love how these ancient contribution mindmaps turned out! What a great way to encapsulate all the learning we did this year! @OldeCreekES @fcpsaap

@Johnelle_Sweet So excited for your new journey!

Our 3rd graders had a blast at their Greek agora today! @OldeCreekES

Our @OldeCreekES 3rd graders had an amazing time at Colvin Run Mill exploring simple machines! Thank you for an engaging and hands on experience @fairfaxparks

What if anything were possible? These 3rd grade critical and creative thinkers had such a fun time using the strategy of visualizing to help them imagine different possibilities @OldeCreekES @fcpsaap

This week we immersed ourselves in the life of HarrietTubman. After reading several texts about her, students encapsulated their thinking with a color, symbol, image activity. @OldeCreekES @fcpsaap

[Sharon Smith @MrsSmithOCES]

@OldeCreekES Green Team students had an amazing and innovative afternoon of reimagining waste led by @WTWoodsonHS environmental club students. So much creativity was used to turn our everyday waste items into a range of items from airplanes to plant holders. @fcpsGet2Green

We are ready for President’s Day! Our 3rd graders used the PMI strategy to learn about some of our most influential presidents, and then wrote a quick persuasive piece to tell who did more for our country. @OldeCreekES @fcpsaap

[Sharon Smith @MrsSmithOCES]

Our first PBL of the year was a huge success! We researched different animals, their ecosystems, their adaptations, and interactions. Then we communicated our findings to our eager kindergarten students. #PBLinFCPS #POGinFCPS @OldeCreekES

[Sharon Smith @MrsSmithOCES]

My students and I could have spent hours playing with this online ecosystem simulation! What a neat way for students to see how interactions among living things impact the food web. @PBSKIDS @fcpsaap @OldeCreekES

[Sharon Smith @MrsSmithOCES]

@OldeCreekES Green Team had our first meeting today. Students created observation journals so that they can be communicators and share their findings. We explored our outdoor classroom areas to write what we noticed and wondered about water. @fcpsGet2Green

@Jamie_L_Wilson @InnovationOC @OldeCreekES @fcpsaap @Jamie_L_Wilson it’s definitely trial and error this year, but was very impressed that several students noticed how closely related these 2 concepts are.

[Sharon Smith @MrsSmithOCES]

@WendyAART @OldeCreekES Thanks for stopping by! Kids were excited to see you!

@ChrisButzer @WestbriarES Congrats! What a great opportunity and so we’ll deserved!
