Pete the Cat math and independent writing! Our students are working hard and learning and are teachers are making it accessible! @MCPS

A little orthographic mapping to start the week! This week we’re focusing on the vowel E, and comparing the sound it makes in different words! We introduced syllables and clapped out the beats in names and target words. Happy word building! #literacyforall #scienceofreading

Happy First Week! We’re back, bringing books to life with a multistory approach! Predictable chart writing, sensory exploration of taco ingredients, and an intense student conversation that led to an impromptu book review—posted to Amazon! #literacyforall #dragonslovetacos

We had an amazing day, welcoming back our fantastic students! We jumped right back into learning! @MCPS @breadnbuttercup

What’s the best way to end preservice week? Puppies 🐶! Our staff worked very hard getting prepared to welcome students and puppies are a great treat! @MCPS

Bringing books to life with some high school friends this week! Today we used all five senses in our Potions Class, an extension activity from Harry Potter and theSorcerer’s Stone. We mixed potions, talked about our observations, and offered opinions. #literacyforall #aac

Fun Friday for ESY had hands on science. We created Diet Coke and mentos geysers and baking soda vinegar balloons! Thanks to the Starr kids for helping! @A_Leizear @MCPS

Literacy/Science Mashup! Check out Chicken In Space and see how many balloons it takes to launch a chicken! Students commented on the story, weighed chickens and made predictions! 21 balloons and a successful launch! #literacyforall #specialeducation #chickeninspace

Finished up a great first week of summer learning with some milk fireworks! Great job @A_Leizear for leading the fun! #handsonlearning @MCPS

@breadnbuttercup @rodgershg1 This looks so nice! Thank you for taking the time and energy to build custom supports for our students!
