We started seeds in the #LESLionLab in March, so I sent them home with Ss 3/13. Seeing pics of those seeds growing, & of the gardens that our @Lansdowne_ES fams are creating while at home, is helping keep a bit of the distance sadness away. Really missing our kids💕🌱

P.S. Cannot wait to share these real-life wigwam/longhouse pics with @Lansdowne_ES 4th graders who researched, designed, & created similar structures in the #LESLionLab - I’m even more impressed w the Ss' projects after seeing the real thing up close!

#LESLionLab projects following me out on me and @TeeEffGee's belated Valentine's date 😂

Our neighbor heard we were trying to start an edible garden, and surprised us w an egg carton full of seeds from hers 😍 looking forward to seeing how our local #LESLionLab garden grows! #bcpsgrows #homegarden

Last one - Curious to know @BaltCoPS teachers' experiences w raising trout in the classroom? Saw it at @IrvineNature and had to stop myself from running back to the #LESLionLab with trout in my pockets 🤣 Super excited to try this with @Lansdowne_ES Ss!

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at the #LESLionLab 😍 #happyhearts @Lansdowne_ES @BaltCoPS @amcbride28 @lori_widney @lizturner210

compost/vermiculture at home = Ss learn about the processes as part of the #LESLionLab gardening & life cycles unit! #bcpsgrows @Lansdowne_ES @BaltCoPS @amcbride28

#bcpsgrows at home! Missing @Lansdowne_ES, but thankful for @amcbride28 @lori_widney @lizturner210 for encouraging me to creatively educate Ss about gardening & life cycles through our "Local #LESLionLab" Green Lion Garden 🌱🦁💚 #KeepingtheConnection @BaltCoPS @BCPSOutdoorSci

YAY, virtual class mtg😍 w Mrs. Wise's 5th grade! Online etiquette #LESLionLab seedlings+garden tour Pet Parade Charades! Ss helped calculate 40% attendance & set goal to ⬆️ next week by reaching out to classmates! My ❤️ is full #distancelearning #success @Lansdowne_ES @BaltCoPS

Can the #LESLionLab's 5th graders build us a rain garden?? It looks like they're determined to make it happen! Abstract ideas --> concrete proposals via independent research and student-led discussions. This is exciting stuff! #studentleaders @Lansdowne_ES @BaltCoPS @amcbride28

#keva means building fun for all ages! #LESLionLab comes to @LyonsMill for the #STEMExpo2019 @atrismo @MrPenn31 @BaltCoPS @Lansdowne_ES #plankpower

1st graders learned about microplastics, how they affect our water and animals, and experimented by trying to pull apart cloth and plastic shopping bags. Next week we will make reusable bags from t-shirts! #ecoawareness in the #LESLionLab 💕 @Lansdowne_ES @BaltCoPS @amcbride28

Kicking off a big week in the #LESLionLab - first day with @BCPSmakes at @Lansdowne_ES! Grateful to have this opportunity for our Little Lions (and for me!)😁 #seriousfun #makersgonnamake #bcpsmakes @acirjak1 @cumberland_bcps @amcbride28 @lori_widney @lizturner210 @BaltCoPS

This week I was able to #KeeptheConnection with my @Lansdowne_ES school family by hosting 5 days of Virtual S.T.E.A.M challenges - #LESLionLab was on location (in my basement🤣)! Missing my IRL classroom, but my heart is full 💕 Thank you @amcbride28! #learningathome @BaltCoPS

3rd graders researched inventors and innovators; they practiced measuring "to scale" so that they can begin constructing a model invention. #BlackHistoryMonth activities continue in the #LESLionLab ☺️#bcpsmakes @Lansdowne_ES @BaltCoPS @amcbride28 @lizturner210 @lori_widney

HAPPY #EarthDay2020! Please welcome the newest addition to our @Lansdowne_ES fam: SUNNY! #LESLionLab's class plant😁When we're back, she'll take turns going home with Ss so they can love & care for her too🌱🌼#plantlove #earthlove @amcbride28 @lori_widney @lizturner210 @BaltCoPS
