[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

I'm just so excited about this Ancient Egypt research project choice board I am giving 6th grade tomorrow. Even if it is very "how do you do, fellow kids" of me

@WatershedPCS 23-24 Teacher of the Year @GlassGotClass1 is a strong progressive educator with an amazing project based pedagogy. So proud to work with her @kemprice1225

Outdoor PD for Outdoor Ed🌳✨🐢 I had so much fun play-testing Hibernation Week activities with colleagues I don't get to work with everyday. @WatershedPCS

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

It's giving very "we used to drink water out of a hose," man shakes fist at cloud energy...

[Eliyas Mohmmed @EliyasMohmmed]

How many points did you get? 🙌

[Lori Widney @lori_widney]

It was a big week for @WatershedPCS Ss, staff and families. We attended the BoE meeting to hear the 5 yr contract renewal recommendation that @MyriamYarbrough provided. We are excited and honored to continue our work with BCPS students! @JaneLichter @nashaeb

G5 Ss have so much to be proud of today- they channeled their strengths and interests to perform a chant about the Bill of Rights in self-selected groups. They showed tremendous creativity, teamwork, and kindness. @WatershedPCS 🐢✨

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

G5 Ss were so engaged in sit-spots that a furry friend decided to join us! You don't need to go to the zoo to joyfully observe wildlife- nature rewards at @WatershedPCS!🐢🌳🐈

Loved celebrating with my fellow Turtles 🐢

It’s a Watershed baby shower with plants and all!!

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

@timetoSELebrate Love this costume!!

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

JOY is happening at @WatershedPCS today. Turtles 💙 the changing seasons 🐢

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

@atrismo Takes one to know one 🐢💙

G6 #socialstudies Ss evaluated the fairness of the caste system of the Indus River Valley civilization by simulating daily tasks completed by each tier of the hierarchy. They gave away tasks based on their rank, and could learn Sanskrit and vote when finished! @WatershedPCS

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

Why label diagrams of environmental modifications when you can construct them? 6th graders collaboratively created 3D representations of Indus River Valley modifications, including urban planning, drainage, irrigation, and fortification. @WatershedPCS

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

5th grade Social Studies Ss raced to identify the powers of the 3 branches of US government- then limited each other's power with checks and balances "sabotage" cards. Exercising bodies, minds, and constitutional power @WatershedPCS🐢

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

Going to keep a running thread of people my students tell me I look like. It's only October and so far this includes:

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

@WatershedPCS 5th & 6th grade environmentalists took to the woods to manage the spotted lanternfly population, successfully scraping eggs from the trees. All in a day's work for Watershed Turtles!

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

Today's formative assessment: can you convey the most interesting thing you've learned about Ancient Mesopotamia- without using words or numbers? 6th graders practiced in preparation for their Unit 1 curative projects- What would you travel 25 miles to tell? @WatershedPCS

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

4th & 5th graders #connected to create a secret handshake with a new buddy 🐢💚🐢

[Lori Widney @lori_widney]

@WatershedPCS Ss connected across grades with buddies and outdoor activities. #relationships @BCPS_OSC @kemprice1225 @kdurantaye @acirjak1

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

Block 1 Ss constructed and tested their irrigation systems today. It was great to see their ideas become reality. Several were able to successfully water their crops without drowning their civilization! @WatershedPCS #pbl #socialstudies

[GlassGotClass @GlassGotClass1]

I'm very excited for 6th graders to build their irrigation systems to see if they can modify land like the Mesopotamians @WatershedPCS🐢 stay tuned!
