Students from Mr. Bolt’s Engineering 3 class talking with reporters from KidsPost- The Washington Post about their amazing Engineering with Empathy projects! @RachelCarsonMS #fcpsPOG

Thursday before break and so much fun being had! Some of our band members performed for our front office staff, students collaborated to make catapults in science class, and Mr. Stokes really showed up for our spirit week's Throwback Thursday! @RachelCarsonMS

Amazing products from Mr. Bolt's "Engineering with Empathy" project. Students showed their true problem solving skills and creativity by designing adaptive devices for individuals with differing abilities. @RachelCarsonMS

Love catching the fun in the halls! Mr. Barrueco is doing a little hopscotch on his way back from lunch. This was set up in the hall during our ESOL family night. S's took turns playing the same game but with different rules from different cultures. @RachelCarsonMS

Love the songs of 6th grade students filling the hallways with Carson’s Choir in a Day event led by Ms. Reddig! @singingbuckeye @RachelCarsonMS

First session of the after school Scratch coding club! From the moment one student approached me to sponsor to the first meeting, it’s been entirely student driven. Love watching these kids teach their peers!

Beautiful day to join Mrs. Walsh’s class outside as students take part in an activity to learn more about dissolved oxygen levels in water and the impact on organisms!

Walked by a class of 8th grade scientists outside exploring the dispersion of visible light through handmade spectroscopes! So cool! @RachelCarsonMS

So proud of our students and staff for engaging in meaningful conversations and activities throughout this year to earn this recognition!

Nothing like walking into a classroom at just the right time to join a game of Kahoot. Once a math teacher, always a math teacher. Happy Pi Day!

Was so impressed with the communication, collaboration, and reflection among our orchestra students as they prepare for assessment this weekend. Good luck Panthers! @RachelCarsonMS

I LOVE that our Best Buddies mural is going up right outside the tech office. Seeing the teamwork and the friendships developing within the group is so heart warming. @RachelCarsonMS

What a cool collaborative learning experience in Mrs. Walsh’s class! Students applied what they’ve learned about cells to construct a plant cell out of legos and create a video teaching others about each part’s function. @RachelCarsonMS
