Watershed takes seriously our charge to instill a deep understanding of interconnectedness and stewardship among our students and school community. Bigotry, hate and brutality oppose our values and tear us apart,… instagram.com/p/CBBv_YtpUMA/…

My school has put out some great resources for distance learning! Check it out!
Please check out our new Distance Learning Site full of projects and resources that integrate nature and the arts. We'll continue to add to it over the next several weeks. #findingnature #watershedpcs #getoutsidesafely @MAEOE_MD @BCPSOutdoorSci sites.google.com/watershedpc…

Thank you @Flipgrid for helping my students and I to connect while on this hiatus! What are some ideas for connecting with students who do not have access to internet/whose parents aren't home now?

Glad to celebrate #ReadAcrossAmerica Month and encourage strong environmental stewardship at Watershed Public Charter School. Outside their school’s chicken coop, we read “We Planted a Tree.” Thanks for having me!

K learned how our chicks will use their egg tooth to make a pip in the shell when they start to hatch. We then practiced hatching from our own eggs and exploring the new world with our chicken senses! #PeepPeep #LetThemPlay #SleepyChicks @knortonsmith @WatershedPCS
