I love doing this ornament project w/ my classes every year! This year, 2 new designs: a heart (awesome!) and block letter initials (meh). I learn a lot about my sts during this time: traditions, pastimes, interests, also fine motor skills & spatial awareness! @CVESD_Wolfcanyo

@MelissaGHughes Ocotillo/ Plaster City! :)

@Thrown2ThWolves Palm Springs?

Have you ever looked at one of the wind turbines as you drive by and wondered how big they really are? Hint: they're enormous! And at sunset, they cast shadows about half a mile long! So many STEAM ideas pop into my head whenever we pay one a visit! And listen to that energy!

This might put the scale into perspective!

@SanDiego_CUE @cueinc @chrisgarcia03 Congrats, @chrisgarcia03 !!!

Congratulations to our @San_DiegoCUE Winner and Nominee to @CUEINC Awards! Affiliate Leader of the Year @chrisgarcia03

We're back to in-person field trips, & we couldn't have been happier to visit @chrisgarcia03 & @Mr_BMichael at the @CV_InnovationSt today! We even got a visit from @teachnwolves & @Thinkabit_Lab! Looking forward to seeing @MelissaGHughes at the @CV_EnergySt soon! @CVESD_Wolfcanyo

How do you keep control over 100 kids waiting for a late bus after school? Try an impromptu biology and ecology lesson when a 1st grader brings you a traumatized and slightly squished baby lizard! The Lizard Whisperer (Wizard Lisperer?) is back! #scienceondemand #RedRibbonWeek

Culminating project prepping after each 6th grade #stanfordNGSSintegratedcurriculum task. Love the 1st chosen activity: "Rolling your eyes at your parents!" 💀💀 @CVESD_Wolfcanyo @teachnwolves

Sometimes your tried-and-true investigations don't go as planned. After 30 minutes, this corn starch and water mixture should be purple...🤷🏼‍♀️ Lesson learned: don't switch sandwich bag brands!😆 #modelingcellorganelles #6thgradengss #ngss @teachnwolves @CVESD_Wolfcanyo

6th Grade Camp night hike, complete with a creepy treehouse, bats, a story about "edible rocks," night vision hacks, and more s'mores! It pays to know a 6th grade teacher who loves Camp!!… instagram.com/p/CASl9prD7Vzc…

A fun "surprise" from our principals for Teacher Appreciation Week! I really needed to feel the love today. ❤😷🐺 instagram.com/p/CAOeHSAnKKVu…

6th grade camp was canceled? Let's take a social distance hike! #wolfpack #promotingclassof2020 #virtual6thgradecamp #puttheloginthecar instagram.com/p/CAL8FtPD2c4n…

Our Little Free Library is ready for use!!! I'm so excited to share books with my neighbors!! #littlefreelibrary #booknerd #suchateacher instagram.com/p/B-fw41IDywWx…

The chicks are a week old today! Mr. Maui wants to eat them in the worst way!! Bad doggo!! 🤣🤣🤣 @teachnwolves @CVESD_Wolfcanyo @matshy #classroomchickens #ngssstorylines

Babies hatched a bit early!! We got to school to find two very fluffy chicks in the incubator! @CVESD_Wolfcanyo @teachnwolves @matshy #classroomchickens #ngssstorylines

Got that weekend feeling! instagram.com/p/B8BwxzyHmjkD…

Chickies got an early Christmas present tonight! #classroomchickens

I am so incredibly impressed with the quality of our music program! These are 9- 10- 11- and 12-year-olds with only a couple of years of experience. I applaud our music teacher @Wolfcanyonmusic !!!
