5th graders went to the VT Thinkabit Lab today. They explored careers, coded a stop light and servo motor. They creatively solved an engineering design challenge. @VT_ThinkabitLab @dodeagrants @FCPSSTEAM @FtBelvoirES @MsNietert

When state testing starts the same week as the Taylor Swift concert 🪩✨💕 In my ✨TESTING ERA✨

Collaborating during our Young Scholars morning LEGO Club! Taking our projects and making a town… so far we have school buses, a swing, and a hospital helicopter! 🚌🏥🚁 @FtBelvoirES @JackieKwon101 @fcpsaap

3rd and 4th graders started research for their extreme weather broadcast PBL🤓🌪️⛈️❄️⛅️ “This is going to be so fun!” @FtBelvoirES @fcpsaap @JeffLonnett

Exciting filming day with @ASCD 🤓 3rd graders launched their extreme weather PBL and 5th graders solved and collaborated on Groundworks math puzzles @FtBelvoirES @fcpsaap

Our after-school Kids Lab STEAM program started this week! We can't wait to see and hear about all the fun engineering and science activities our students will be exploring! Thank you to our DoDEA STEAM grant funding @FtBelvoirES @dodeagrants

As a Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Teacher Environmental Literacy Leader, I have enjoyed learning with colleagues and students out on the water @dodeagrants @chesapeakebay @FtBelvoirES @fcpsGet2Green @FCPSScience @MsNietert

And made a friend! 🐟

Another field trip day! Learned so much with @chesapeakebay and Ms. Young’s 4th graders! 🚤🦅🐟 @fbessteam1 @FtBelvoirES

4th Grade YS we’re also excited and able to learn from TJ staff and students! 💫🧬🔭🔬 @FtBelvoirES @fbessteam1 @fcpsaap @TJHSST_Official

“CCT Strategy of the Month” is up in each of the workrooms 🤩 Big shoutout to the AART that shared this idea recently (I don’t remember who it was 😬). @fcpsaap @FtBelvoirES

Master’s Degree in Education Leadership ✅ Still working on wrapping everything up, but I couldn’t miss the party 🎉

What’s better than matching your dancing skills to your robot?! 💃🏻@fbessteam1

2nd graders are testing out the KIBO robots before kinder and 1st use them next week! @fbessteam1

May the 4th be with you! Kinder and 1st grade have been working on an engineering design challenge this week where they have to keep Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia safe! @fbessteam1

One of my favorite things is taking Groundworks activities and turning them into ‘levels’ for students to ‘pass.’ They have to get a 😃 from me to move to the next ‘level.’ It’s instant engagement! 🥰
