Today is the first day of Digital Citizenship week! I'm celebrating my @PocahontasHawks students with asking them to take the citizenship pledge using a template from #AdobeEDUCreative and I'm sharing mine as well!

Our @ShortPumpES crew shared their communication projects last night, and proud is an understatement. Out of the mouths of 2nd graders—top 3 moments: PMS collaboration with @ILC_AJC, #Henrico21, and their morning announcements debut.🎉🙌 @HCPS_Innovates @HenricoSchools

LCHS Culinary Arts instructor Chef Howell had the Little Lions Learning Lab BUZZING today with his un-BEE-lievable facts! 🐝 Bees can fly 3 miles in just a single trip! 🐝 Bees can visit up to 2,000 flowers per day! 🐝 An average hive has 50,000 to 60,000 worker bees!

Flashback to COVID school closings: It felt like we had a chance to do something different with teaching & learning, but as soon as the powers that be deemed it “safe”, we went back to the same methods that we complained about before the pandemic. That still weighs on me.

Today in the @PocahontasHawks #Makerspace students created marbled tile coasters. We talked about the differences in water based ink and alcohol based ink like @Sharpie. Lots of creative thinking and productive struggle. @hcpslib @HCPS_Innovates

Students in @twhammy8_oz's PE class examined crime scenes and used #communication, #collaboration, and #criticalthinking to determine what drug their victim overdosed on. Sorry we missed you @AmyCashwell but our @PocahontasHawks are really #LifeReady over here! (1/2)

A huge thank you to Officer Johnson from the @HenricoPolice and Officer Ozolins from the @RichmondPolice for working with our students with these real world skills. Who knows, maybe we just recruited your future officers!

The victory lap!!!! (And, why yes… those ARE tiny medals on the Ozobots…. They did the dancing after all, they deserved a medal too!- I can’t take credit for that idea though- That was all my amazing librarian!)
