Crossfield Elementary Library

To think beyond our school walls second graders went to the ocean today to learn how coding can help create new ways to clean our oceans and tried it out themselves too.

@LeslieLeisey Quiver is super cool. They have a lot of free stuff.

This looks super cool! Need to explore more!! 🐢

The AAC building kicks off today. We talked about how coding goes beyond the silly things we can make and help to give someone else a voice. Don’t mind me over here cutting onions over my second graders @ATS_FCPS @FCPS_LIS @FCPSSTEAM @fcpsnews

@LeslieLeisey @tinkercad @PoplarTreeES Let us know if you need printing 😉. We have four printers.

Had a great time exploring how to use @tinkercad along side these 6th graders @PoplarTreeES who want to create 3D models for their Shark Tank #PBLinFCPS! Appreciate the opportunity to try new things and learn by doing! #FCPSpogpol #FCPSsbts #YouCanCountOnUs

Major shout out to my amazing volunteers that velcro’ed over 240 pieces to help prepare new adapted library boards for my enhance autism classrooms. So much time saved for me so I can build even more to serve our students with brand new books and activities. Thank you!!!!

My 2nd graders have been rocking their coding. To celebrate World Autism Acceptance Day coming up, I have an ambitious coding project for them in @ScratchJr . Here's hoping that building empathy & tech skills now will inspire some to build amazing things. @FCPS_LIS @FCPSSTEAM

When the prize for the Read Across America Book Puppet and Boom Trailer contest is a golden 3D printed model of your school mascot you go HARD! My email has about 30 trailers. Good luck picking @CrossfieldES teachers!!!

We are working hard to make sure that our staff and students are represented in our library on a much larger scale for underrepresented populations in publishing.

Finally hit over 20,000! Woot. Way to go Rockets!

What an exciting day here at Crossfield Elementary! Our very own superintendent Dr. Reid visited us to check out all the amazing computer science learning we’ve been doing! We even sent her off with a golden Scotty! See you again soon Dr. Reid! @fcpsnews @FCPSSupt @FCPSSTEAM

I am sweaty and tired. But look at his face. Blessed to have my kinder IAs stay and help support. 21 kinders can now green screen in Wixie! @Tech4Learning @FCPS_LIS @FCPSSTEAM @fcpsnews

We finally hit 10,000! @FCPS_LIS @fcpsnews

@MrsRiddileReads Me too. Not even my elementary school

Rocking my Panther Prowl shirt today designed by sixth grader, Faith. Can’t wait for the Fun Run tonight! 🎃🎃🎃

Our second graders are working on POG attributes. Today we started our work as communicators in using technology to find and share ideas. So I taught them @canva They chose to work on Canva over checkout 🤣. I can’t wait to see what they create. @FCPS_LIS @JeffLonnett

I gave into the data trend. 🤣. This is after day 11! Y’all. My volunteers are BUSY! @FCPS_LIS

@MantuaLibrary @MantuaEs @Capital_Murals @MantuaPrincipal We LOVE Jenny

Hey @MantuaEs raccoons! We hope you had a great summer. Here’s a verrrrry tiny look at our mural by @Capital_Murals. We can’t wait for you to see the finished product! @MantuaPrincipal

Today we were so excited to celebrate our very own Charlie Kim on his second FCPS Cares employee of the month. We are so incredibly blessed to have Mr. Charlie at our school!

Researchers hard at work designing their animal research in Canva. Eight year olds deep in the trenches of canva helping each other with design elements. It’s awesome! @FCPS_LIS
