Amazing day with @APSVirginia #duallanguage campus and district leaders! Language allocation plans, biliteracy instructional systems, translanguaging research, and the importance of cross-linguistic connections! Escuela Key and Claremont Immersion, thanks for the transparent conversations and learning!! #C6BiliteracyFramework

We had “simply” a great day learning about #simplemachines, water ecology, and wildlife at @TheOutdoorLab! Ask your student about catching crayfish, using a lever, and petting a snake 🐍! @APSscience 🐸🛝🌳🦐🪶🐢

@CIS_APS third graders had a great field trip to @TheOutdoorLab! Ask your students about the animals we found and the simple machines we used 🐸🦆🐍🐛🔩🛞🪓 #CIS_APS

Teachers ❤️ when former students come back to visit!! Look at how tall they are! (No faces because I forgot to ask them if I could post it and #consent is important) #CIS_APS @CIS_APS @WLO_Bermudez

Kicking off #APSsummerschool by combining #STEM and literacy! We read Jabari Tries by @GaiaCC and then became engineers using math manipulatives. Quote of the day: “Ms. Kirch, I’m thinking… maybe I could be an engineer when I grow up” 😍 @CIS_APS @KeySchoolAPS

[Samantha Kirch @Ms_Kirch3]

I have fond memories of field trips to the U.S. Capitol building when I taught third grade. I wonder if any current or former @CIS_APS students will be submitting an idea for the next statue representing Virginia? 🤔

[VDOE News @VDOE_News]

Don't forget! NOVEMBER 27 is the deadline for student suggestions for a historical person to represent VA in a new statue in the Capitol’s National Statuary Hall. We're so excited to see what our Commonwealth students submit! Details and more at https://t.co/NocDpAJIkJ

This is so true, yet I’ve never heard it articulated quite this way. 🤯 It paints a vivid picture that brings to mind specific examples. 🔥 We must embrace them ALL, but especially those who are hardest to reach.

“ The child who is not embraced by the village, will burn it down to feel its warmth.” ~African proverb #HackingSchoolDiscipline #AMLEsel Either way, we give our time.

[Samantha Kirch @Ms_Kirch3]

This explains things SO well!

🗣 APS Staff...use BREAKOUT rooms/channels in MS Teams to allow for small group instruction for your students. I put together a HOW-TO tutorial (includes options for setting up your Teams class in this 20min video) #remotelearning https://t.co/kaji9xsIW6

Hey families! Looking for something for the kids to do on this 🌧 day? Show the latest “At Home with APS” video 📺 (or let them binge-watch every episode... no judgement! 😆) They’re fun and interactive—plus, you just might see your favorite teachers 🍎 https://t.co/wQqAkNPdFW

What a beautiful sight! Over 150 ~*brand new*~ Spanish and English books donated by @CIS_APS families through the recent @CIS_PTA online @BookwormCentral book fair! They will be distributed with food bags to ensure that everyone has good books to read this summer! 🌞📚

[Samantha Kirch @Ms_Kirch3]

WOW! Thank you @ReadEarlyDaily for donating these beautiful books to the @CIS_PTA book bags! 📚📖 I’m so excited to get these out to our kids!!!#CIS_APS

[Samantha Kirch @Ms_Kirch3]

It’s easy to remember that characters 🏄‍♀️🧍🦊 are WHO is in a story, but “setting” is hard. 🧐 Today @casitasprimero used the @MicrosoftTeams background effects to change our settings. Use your imagination to say, “I was at home, but now I am...” What will your setting be? 🏔🏡🏖
