Before Spring Break, Mr. Whitlow's Power Systems class at Powhatan High School was hard at work crafting chisels! Students focused on learning the art of creating a working tool by heating, hammering, grinding, and cutting it to perfection. 🔥💪 As part of their rotating stations, they got hands-on experience with arc welding and gas welding, building important skills in the process. #wearepcps #teampowhatan

In March, Ms. Wood's first graders at Flat Rock Elementary played hangman to review those tricky heart words! ❤️ These are the words they need to know by heart because they can’t always be sounded out. They’ll be reading like pros in no time! 📖✨#wearepcps #teampowhatan

Back in March, Ms. Monson’s eighth grade Physical Science class at Powhatan Middle School was all about exploring the science of sound. 🎶🔊 Students worked through five different stations, each focused on understanding sound through various types of vibrations. They used computer programs to visualize sound waves in action! 💻 #wearepcps #teampowhatan

Fair warning: This post includes a cow eye dissection! If you're squeamish, you might want to skip this one, but if you're ready for some hands-on science, keep going! Before Spring Break, Mrs. Ashman’s Anatomy class at Powhatan High School took their study of the physiology of the eye to the next level! 👁️ Instead of just reading about it, students got hands-on with a cow eye dissection! 🐄🔬 A little squeamishness aside, this was an awesome way to bring the lesson to life to help the students really understand how the eye works.🌟 #wearepcps #teampowhatan

In Mr. Freund and Mrs. Britz’s gym classes earlier this month, our second graders (from Mrs. Rama and Mrs. Wilson’s classes) were jumping up their heart rate during the Ninja Heart Challenge! 💪Students paired with a partner, with one jumping and the other counting. Each “belt” level had its own challenge. For example, to earn their white belt, students had to complete five jumps in a row without making a mistake. Once they earned a belt, they started over trying to earn the next belt, working their way all the way to the ultimate black belt – 75 jumps in a row! 🥋 We love seeing their determination and teamwork. 🤩 #wearepcps #teampowhatan

Earlier this month, Ms. Hockaday’s third grade class at Flat Rock Elementary put math in motion using coding and Ozobots. Working in pairs, students solved donut shop word problems to unlock secret codes that made their Ozobots perform awesome tricks! 🍩 🤖🎉 The class practiced rounding and estimating and, with help from Ms. Bentzen, our Innovative Learning Coach, they used the Ozobots to check their answers. Each correct answer unlocked a new command for the bots, bringing the classroom to life with fun and learning! 🔢✨#wearepcps #teampowhatan #elevateeducatorsva

🎬 Earlier this month, the Powhatan High School Intro to Film class had an awesome hands-on experience at PCC! Thanks to PCC staff members Josh Bartlam (local videographer) and Lenny Harris (Director of Operations), students learned about camera movement and shots, then put their skills into practice, first learning about the equipment and then filming a live band practice. 🎥🎶 We love engaging with local partners in our community to create these amazing learning experiences in fields that interest them. #wearepcps #teampowhatan

🏀📚 March Madness: Book Edition is happening in fourth grade at Flat Rock Elementary! 📚🏀 The teachers set up a bracket featuring 16 HMH stories they have read in reading class this school year.

(And yes, we know the T fell off . 😉) #wearepcps #teampowhatan
