The Compass School, Ashburn Virginia

Compass is an all-weather school! This means we go outside during rain, snow, or shine, as long as it's safe to do so. When we have really wet weather like this week, please remember to send your children with appropriate attire! This may include a rain jacket, rain boots, and extra clothes to change if they get muddy.

Happy first day of school, Compass Families! We look forward to a wonderful 2021-2022 school year 🤓

[08/21/21]   During our Conscious Discipline staff in-service training day yesterday, we also spoke about how our self-image affects our impact on our relationships and environment. As we learned, "The most important meeting in your life – the one with yourself. Making a self-portrait, to contemplate it, to describe it, to read and hear how beautiful you are. It opens a new quality of how you see, understand, integrate, and treat yourself. And, in consequence how you relate to others."

On a hot day, what's better than a citrus sensory bin? How refreshing! Our infants sure thought it was tasty.

Showing interest in shapes this month, our Nature Center friends arranged and glued together triangular and rectangular "useable" canvases of loose parts. Once dry, they enjoyed building on a base of Legos and math blocks today!

Thank you, Compass families, for making our plaza beautiful with all of your works of art! For this project, we tasked our students to draw their family members however they perceived them and came up with some amazing and creative results.

Coming soon to theaters near you, our Clubhouse Campers are off to a creative start designing movie posters to adorn their entryway. Check out these thrilling titles!

In a culminating moment for our Sound Stage friends, who have been exploring a renewed interest in the popular trading card game Pokemon, our kindergarteners celebrated with a themed party, complete with costumes, party games, and lots of fun!

Look who got an upgrade! Griffin the Leopard Gecko is living large.

Exploring summer activities, our Art Studio pre-kindergarteners had an amazing day camping out, building blanket forts, and enjoying time with friends on their "staycation" day in the classroom!

After harvesting lots of vegetables from our garden, our two year olds had fun tasting them today! While some loved them, others were not impressed, but it was so rewarding to eat what we grew with our own two hands.

A much-needed water day with our two year olds! When you put the kids in charge of the hose, you know you're in for a good time.

In case anyone was wondering, our vegetable garden is thriving! Toddlers for scale 😉 The Pathfinder classroom loves helping their teachers care for all the plants!

A hot Monday makes a perfect day to introduce water play days at Compass this summer! Our infants loved splashing in the baby pools and water tables, and getting sprinkled on with the cool water from the hose was so refreshing.

Bringing Hawaiian colors and flavor to Compass on Friday, we celebrated our father figures! Happy Father's Day, Compass Families.

We kicked off our 2021 summer camp this week with a boardwalk theme. After creating the beach in a jar, making slime, and building a slide out of big blocks, we capped off the week at the Community Pool!

Our Scavenger Hunt yesterday was a huge success! Students were tasked to find colors, names, or shapes and rewarded with a sweet treat on a hot day.

Congrats to our 2020-2021 Pre-K, JK, and K grads! We are so proud of you all and are so excited for your next adventure!!

Our new kitchen-themed music walls finally went up on the playground this week... and the pans, sheets, and spoons are a huge "hit"!! 😎🎶

Thank you, Compass families, for donating the kitchen items as well as Miss Jocelyn and her family for the palettes we mounted them on!

Compass Families, this is just a friendly reminder that we are closed tomorrow, May 31, 2021, on observance of Memorial Day. Thank you!

With our school growing, we are so excited to re-open our Trailblazers classroom on June 1!

With a surprising amount of friendly wildlife around Compass, we often see critters out when it rains! This week, a curious little box turtle stopped by just in time for our Pathfinders (toddlers) to say hello!

To beat the heat Friday, we held a school-wide playground picnic, where we enjoyed popsicles with friends! We missed having our families join us this year, but we're looking forward to many more upcoming events!

Interested in Community Helpers, our Adventurers (Pre-K) friends have been all about dentists this week! In this activity, "brushing our teeth" was an exciting sensory experience as friends talked about the taste, texture, and smell of the "spicy" toothpaste.

Today we wear maroon and gold to celebrate our school's 8th birthday! Happy birthday, Compass Ashburn 🎂

What is educating young children without encountering growth? For Teacher Appreciation Week, our amazing parents have not only been spoiling our staff with meaningful gifts, goodies, and treats, but also offered them symbols of their children's growth in our care with gorgeous flowers and plants today!

❤️ IF WE EVER TAUGHT YOU (OR YOUR CHILD)...

For Teacher Appreciation Week, we'd love for our current/former students/parents to REPLY to this post and tell us how your child is doing and what your child is doing (school, sports, family, etc..)!
Or feel free to share a funny story or memory from our time at Compass together! 🍎😊

Love this trend! Can't wait to hear from you 💕

It was a super windy day on our playground today, but don't worry, our strong Sound Stage and Clubhouse friends had sturdy footing as they worked together to make sure the shade sail didn't blow away!
