Making EIE more authentic with a trip to Four Mile Run Stream during our water filters unit. Students were impressed with how clean the water was and will be testing it using their water filters this week #AshlawnSummerSchool @APSVirginia @SuptDuran

Another busy engineering day! #EIE #Ashlawn @APSVirginia

Ashlawn Summer School is underway! Students are using the EIE curriculum to problem solve and go through the engineering process. Lots of daily hands-on challenges for them to tackle. @APSVirginia @SuptDuran

After learning about renewable energy during our Career Day presentations, these students wrote about a problem they’d like to solve in the future around renewable energy. Their creative ideas led to them winning wind turbines! @NTMKnightsAPS @NESknightLab

Exploring finding perimeter! (Or how much fencing our yeti needs for a new pet😜)

Lots of measuring last week for the Yeti project in math!

Lots of fun practicing our measurement skills and creating giant Yetis🧌 stay tuned for the final products @NTMThinkers

These Yetis make me laugh every year. Favorite Project M3 lesson on measurement. #grade3 @MrsLynch3rd @MsRyan3rdGrade @MsCampbell3rd @NTMmath @NTMKnightsAPS @APSGifted

STEAM Night is coming! Can't wait to see everybody March 16th. @NTMKnightsAPS @NottinghamPTA

I am enough! We are enough! You are enough! Thanks for visiting and doing a read aloud, @SuptDuran @NTMKnightsAPS

Holding our 5th grade Math Dice Tournament @MsSchleter5th @NTMKnightsAPS

@PlanetWordDC Are you open today? I have tickets but it seems you’re closed. Please confirm. Thank you!

To help you ring in the new year, Planet Word will be open January 1 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and January 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit planetwordmuseum.org to plan your New Year’s trip! (📷 IG: prasad.jpg)

@PlanetWordDC I have tickets for today- but are you even open?

What a week! The Rockstars learned about the importance of protecting wolves with @NTMThinkers, practiced counting and sorting money, and spent Friday afternoon with @ITCNTM and @NESknightLab coding DASH robots! 🐺💰🤖

Student: “This is really hard!!” Me: “It is? It is only the warm up part.” Student’s face = 🥴 Finding fractional equivalence in geometric paintings @APSGifted @NTMThinkers @ArnettMonarchs #mindsetmathematics @tstokerDES

Thank you @NTMThinkers for starting the @DBQProject with 3rd grade today!!

Starting our DBQ “Why Should We Protect the Wolf” which integrates perfectly with our science and CKLA units #ecosystems #animals #grade3 @APSsocstudies @APSscience @APSGifted @NTMKnightsAPS @MrsLynch3rd @MsCampbell3rd @MsRyan3rdGrade

Student collaboration on math tasks #fractions #grade4 @ArnettMonarchs @NTMmath @NTMKnightsAPS
