Designing a Ferris Wheel 🎡 takes skill and collaboration. Awesome discussion and design going on at HES with YS @JReinhardEdD @FCPSAdvAcad @HEShusky_FCPS

Our Young Scholars discuss the meaning and importance of determination and precision in connection to Mr. Ferris, engineering, other careers, and themselves. 🌍👷🏻🎡 @FCPSAdvAcad

We kicked off Young Scholars by building our class community - tackling what it means to be persistent and how to collaborate successfully with our peers with a cup stacking challenge! @FCPSAdvAcad

Thrilled to see the intellectual engagement of students as they learned about the brain science behind curiosity while making meaning with text. Way to go Ms Grady at Tuscarora Elem! You’re the model of a curious risk taker! #FosteringForwardMomentum @FCPSAdvAcad @BHowardFCPS

A great afternoon seeing an ELA small group in action 📚 Ms. Grady guided her students in unpacking their module EQ. These timberwolves think deeply and make amazing connections! #fosteringforwardmometum @TuES_Pack @FCPSAdvAcad

In honor of George Washington’s Bday, Dylan shared fun facts about US Presidents. Give this 2nd grade student a number and he will share a fact about that president. Quite impressive! ⁦@HEShusky_FCPS⁩ ⁦@BHowardFCPS⁩

Ss in Mrs. Winter’s room at Hillcrest, engaged in small group utilizing their salsa words to elevate their vocabulary to describe parts of the story. These huskies are becoming salsa pros!

A great week learning and attending intermediate ALP Math sessions with @ClassNoriFCPS at @SpringRidgeRoos Lots of strategies for multi-sensory learning to support instruction and scaffold for to build understanding!

@AGurnettFCPSAA Amazing - congratulations Anna!! Looking forward to it ☺️

I’m excited to be a part of the MEGS conference this fall as a presenter!

That’s a wrap on Young Scholars Camp 2023! Our Rising 4th & 5th graders from HES and MoES got to attend the @fcc_monroe for an amazing day full of hands on experiences and learning! Thank you so much to Mr. Chuck and Mr. Travis for going above and beyond! ❤️@FCPSAdvAcad

HES Young Scholars added an electricity system to their neighborhoods and reflected on our essential question - “ How does the concept of systems relate to me as an individual?” Their thinking and connections outside of electricity as a system are amazing!💡@FCPSAdvAcad

Our Primary YS from HES had an amazing learning experience today - thankful for our partnership with @fcc_monroe to make this happen!

HES Young Scholars made connections to a neighborhood being a system and are transferring their knowledge to build their own to scale using a toy car. Next up they’ll be adding electricity!💡🔋🔌 @FCPSAdvAcad

Young Scholars Day 4: HES had so much fun making snap circuits and problem solving. Our intermediate students were able to show off their complex systems they created to our primary students! 💡 @FCPSAdvAcad @mpereirafcps

Our Youngest Young Scholars were just as persistent today at HES! These kids are rockin’ it week 1! @FCPSAdvAcad

Young Scholars Day 3: HES scholars created 3 paper circuits - simple, series, and parallel. We discovered how each system worked differently and stayed very persistent! 🔋💡 @FCPSAdvAcad

Young scholars say 2: Positively starting our day by building our community and then exploring systems through circuits! 🔋💡 @FCPSAdvAcad
