@APS_SPARK students kicked off the year reading “ScaredCited on the First Day of School” and creating bracelets to show how they feel. Words like “happave” (happy brave) show just how creative and reflective they are! SEL literacy=💥#APSDayOne #UndeniableImpact @APSInstructTech

Since first graders have been learning about parts of a plant, today we painted with fruit - blueberries! We learned about the history of the color while reading “Blue” then we took inspiration from “Blueberries for Sal” for our blue artwork! @APS_SPARK @APSMediaServ

Thank you @APSMediaServ for this mystery picture! Students across K-5 and loving adding to the design!

Celebrating International Dot Day with a variety of STEAM centers! @APS_SPARK @APSMediaServ

Students worked on the STEAM Learner Profile, “Critical Thinking.” Kindergarteners read the book, “Sky Color” and 2nd graders read the book, “I’m Not a Stick!”

After we read the SEL Book of the Month, “Like Lava in my Veins” we designed our own flying superheros! @APSMediaServ @APS_SPARK

Nothing sweeter then hearing a firstie during book checkout say, “Mrs. Cady! She looks like me!” 💚🐉 @APS_SPARK @APSMediaServ

This sweet dragon illustrated his library card to match some SPARK art! ♥️🐉 @APS_SPARK

First STEAM challenge in the books! Create a desk for Mr. S! 🤔 @APS_SPARK @APSMediaServ #readmorebooks #atlantapublicschools

The dedication page in, “That’s Not My Name” really stuck with me - so we made keychains with our own names! @APS_SPARK #readmorebooks #atlantapublicschools

Join SPARK families at the Virginia Highland Farmers Market on Thursday, November 16th for SPARK Day at the Market. Every student will bring a $5 coupon home from school that can be redeemed at the market Information Booth and spent with a farmer. The farmers market that day will feature a dragon-themed storytime, kids booth, and chef demonstration. The class with the most students to visit market will win a Sweet Treat Feast (provided by one of our local bakers) to be delivered to the school for their entire class. Remember to stop by the market Information Booth to get a tally for your class! Looking forward to seeing you at the market! @jennashea @drjtoney @sarapruett5 @KSulchek

I ran into a little surprise today @APS_SPARK! Look at this adorable gallery in the little library that @MsRannalsArt and her students created! I am obsessed! @drjtoney @sarapruett5

I’ve loved teaming up with our guidance counselor, Mr. Carter this week! We read the SEL book of the month, “Where Are You From?” And completed a No Place for Hate activity! Kiddos created a bookmark to hide in a library book! @APS_SPARK @APSMediaServ

Best way to spend a Saturday! Fan girling over meeting some of my favorite authors at the Page Turners Literacy Conference! @APS_SPARK @APSMediaServ
