We checked out our blossoming 🦋🐞 garden and planted corn, beans and squash 🎃 in our 3 Sisters Garden today. We can't wait to see how much bigger our plants are when we return to school in the fall! #schoolwidePBL #CameronCourtyard #PBLinFCPS @cobrasCameron

We love watching our plants grow! 4th graders planted corn, beans, and squash for a 3 Sisters Garden. 2nd graders planted butterfly weed and coneflowers for a butterfly garden. #CameronCourtyard #schoolwidePBL #PBLinFCPS @cobrasCameron

@cobrasCameron first graders used recyclables to create 3D birdhouses welcoming them to our new Cameron Courtyard. Can you find them all around the building? #PBLinFCPS #schoolwidePBL #ARTandAAP #crosscurricularlearning

Some birds are getting ready to move in to the Cameron Courtyard thanks to our Kinders! What kind of habitat will they need? #schoolwidePBL #ARTandAAP #STEAM #PBLinFCPS @cobrasCameron

[Katie Kaminsky @KaminskyKids]

3rd graders started the new year wondering: How can we, as landscapers, design the courtyard gardens to support the needs of butterflies? #PBL @cobrasCameron @fcpsaap

Reunited with former students to think about how board games and mazes use #math and #logic. 4th graders created their own mazes to have their friends solve! @cobrasCameron @Cameron_AAP
