As part of our Unit of Inquiry “Sharing the Planet”, students researched habitats & wrote informational books about an animal that lives there. We then built our habitats & shared them with Kindergarten this morning! 💡💭🌍🌵🐋 #communicators #researchers #knowledgeable #APSisAwesome #FirstGradeRocks

Traveled to Uganda with REACH for Uganda. While there, we led teacher workshops, observed in classrooms, worked with students, and worked one-on-one with many of the teachers. It was so inspiring! #EducatorExplorer #LifelongLearner 🌍🇺🇬

Today @randolphelementary.bsky.social first graders took a walking field trip to Douglas Park as part of our Unit of Inquiry “How We Express Ourselves”. Students took data about natural resources, picked up trash, identified different types of rocks, & mapped where we found trash.

As part of our Unit of Inquiry “How We Express Ourselves”, 1st graders went outside to pick up litter on the @randolphelementary.bsky.social schoolgrounds. We then sorted the litter into trash/recyclables and used tally marks to track our counting. 🗑️♻️ #ScienceRocks #FunInFirst

🌍✨What a special week! During Morning Meeting, families shared their cultures & traditions with us. We learned about clothing, languages, holidays, sports & dance - each visit was a reminder of how diverse and rich our community truly is. @apsva.us @randolphelementary.bsky.social
