Master gardeners hard at work in the #CameronCourtyard! @cobrasCameron @CameronCobras

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

3rd graders hard at work on our 🦋 and 🐞 habitat & 3 Sisters Garden in the #CameronCourtyard! #schoolwidePBL #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

"Jot thoughts" helps us brainstorm ideas without worrying about correctness, spelling, the best answer... Next we will encapsuate our ideas. #jotthoughts #encapsulation

@CameronCobras compiling our research to create our final proposals for 🦋 and 🐞 garden. Next week we'll need to persuade others that our plan should win. #schoolwidePBL #PBLinFCPS @cobrasCameron

Happy Monday! Who is your hero? @cobrasCameron

@CameronCobras 3rd graders are researching the needs of #monarchs and #ladybugs to determine what to grow in our courtyard garden for @cobrasCameron school-wide PBL #PBLinFCPS

Love seeing peer collaboration! Working together through a challenge! #perseverance @MissBranning_4 @cobrasCameron

We're hard at work on our courtyard designs! Have an idea for the outdoor classroom and gardens? Add it to the wall outside of the AAP room! #PBLinFCPS #studentproblemsolvers @cobrasCameron

Third graders work together to research the needs of butterflies for our Courtyard Garden #PBLinFCPS @spglass74 @cobrasCameron

Second graders talk in groups about the strategies they used to solve a math problem. #peerteaching #flexiblethinking @cobrasCameron

Second graders working together to research what butterflies will need to have a home in our Courtyard Garden. #PBLinFCPS @cobrasCameron

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

Your Winter Break design challenge: What is the tallest free-standing snowman you can build using only marshmallows and toothpicks? Can you beat Ms. Plunketts's 5th graders? Our tallest was 11 inches tall! #STEAM #AAP #collaboration @cobrasCameron

How do we talk to one another? #academicconversation #studentdiscourse #listen #lifeskills ted.com/talks/celeste_… via @TEDTalks

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
