VBCPS Environmental Studies Program

An exciting day! Students building oyster cages, Raccoon, sightings and diamondback terrapins, laying eggs! I’m just telling you the half of it!

Outdoor learning and lots of fun! Students teaching students. Our seniors working with Seatack Elementary students at MOCA @marietculver

Two of our amazing students presented at the North Landing River & Albemarle Sound Estuarine Symposium! First high school students to ever present at this event! They were inspiring and this is the Storymap they made: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/f66876…

Thank you to our amazing 🤩 @VBEnvStudies ambassadors and @backbaywild @virginiaparks guides! Our students loved learning from you today on our field trip, hiking the trails 🎣🏃🏽🏃🏾‍♀️and beach 🏖️ @khingerty @FlinnNancye

Super proud of my son, Josh, who presented his Eco Summit today. Thank you @CJ1Freeman @diannaklms for your work, mentorship, guidance, and dreaming @VBEnvStudies What a celebration! Who knew what started as personalized learning could evolve into this?

Hard not to be inspired when Lexi and Molly present at the Aquarium Youth Ocean Conservation Summit!

A safe, and exciting way to view the eclipse was using the shadow of trees, creating hundreds of pinhole images on the ground.

Our education outreach team who has been working with 4th graders on SOL content that can be taught outside were so excited to show off the bracelets that the 4th graders made them.

This student saw during his internship at the water quality lab at HRSD that it was hard to keep the pH Probes in the sample cup. Using our 3D printer he designed a pH Probe Stabilizer that can hold the probe together. Solving problems and taking initiative! So exciting!

We had two students moderate a fantastic artist talk with Mark, Dion and Alexis Rockman! Check it out! Grateful for the MOCA for creating this opportunity for our students! youtu.be/sHkzRS3lFlU?si…

Captured this moment of a duck resting right by our classroom. This was the view from our spotting scope

What a beautiful morning! Here is the view from our classroom!

Outdoor learning about watersheds includes Ss discourse and collaboration. One of the best parts of my work is supporting the YESS initiative with the ⁦@VBEnvStudies⁩ for fourth graders in 5 ⁦@VBTitleI⁩ schools. #VBRippleEffect

Humbling to witness the necropsy of a Humpback whale with curious and empathetic @VBEnvStudies students today, keen to better understand challenges in search of solutions.

We are helping Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge build a wildlife viewing classroom that our students designed! Help us help Back Bay!

Always exciting when City Council members stop by to engage with students and see what they’re learning!
