On this day we remember Washington’s victory at Yorktown — when Virginians fought tyranny head-on instead of issuing statements and doing nothing. Our Founders didn’t surrender to kings, and they sure wouldn’t roll over for corrupt boards abusing power under your watch. Don’t wave the flag with one hand while ignoring injustice with the other. If you truly honor their sacrifice, then start acting like the freedom they won still matters.

Learning Economics and Coding in a CS infused PBL unit. First graders at JKES produce, advertise, and count change, selling goods to raise money for the SPCA. Learning as joyful memory making! @MetricsWps @JKESWPS #Coding #PBL

PBL shouldn’t just be about creating something fun to teach our standards or geared solely toward engaging students. We can get creative and find topics that are closely connected to advances that will affect their generation. https://t.co/JJ6vaq4JwU

Through experimentation students learn and grow, so our arts-integrated kid's classes on plant growth, music making, and stuffed animal sewing meet them where they are and introduce the basics of computer science.
