@APS_SPARK students kicked off the year reading “ScaredCited on the First Day of School” and creating bracelets to show how they feel. Words like “happave” (happy+brave) show just how creative and reflective they are! SEL+literacy=💥#APSDayOne#UndeniableImpact@APSInstructTech
Since first graders have been learning about parts of a plant, today we painted with fruit - blueberries! We learned about the history of the color while reading “Blue” then we took inspiration from “Blueberries for Sal” for our blue artwork! @APS_SPARK@APSMediaServ
After reading “Ricky, a Rock that Couldn’t Roll” 3rd graders showed off their knowledge of rock classifications! Then also used their knowledge of force and motion to design a contraption to get their flat rocks to roll. @APS_SPARK@APSMediaServ
Students worked on the STEAM Learner Profile, “Critical Thinking.” Kindergarteners read the book, “Sky Color” and 2nd graders read the book, “I’m Not a Stick!”
@APS_SPARK is representing at the @apsupdate APYes Awards tonight! Congratulations to our teacher of the year @AnthonyS_SPARK and our support person of the year, @TekemahRussell, two shining stars! 🌟🌟Celebrating incredible achievements and talent in style. We’re SPARKling! ✨
Join SPARK families at the Virginia Highland Farmers Market on Thursday, November 16th for SPARK Day at the Market. Every student will bring a $5 coupon home from school that can be redeemed at the market Information Booth and spent with a farmer. The farmers market that day will feature a dragon-themed storytime, kids booth, and chef demonstration. The class with the most students to visit market will win a Sweet Treat Feast (provided by one of our local bakers) to be delivered to the school for their entire class. Remember to stop by the market Information Booth to get a tally for your class! Looking forward to seeing you at the market! @jennashea@drjtoney@sarapruett5@KSulchek
I ran into a little surprise today @APS_SPARK! Look at this adorable gallery in the little library that @MsRannalsArt and her students created! I am obsessed! @drjtoney@sarapruett5
I’ve loved teaming up with our guidance counselor, Mr. Carter this week! We read the SEL book of the month, “Where Are You From?” And completed a No Place for Hate activity! Kiddos created a bookmark to hide in a library book! @APS_SPARK@APSMediaServ
