@gimkit We were so excited!

🐝 Honey...I'm home! The new Buzz Gim is now available in the Item Shop!

We made some beautiful stream tables today as we continue learning about slow changes to our earth. @AustinISD_STEM @AustinISD @Patton_Pioneers @SnowdenEducates @AggieJohnNeeley @LaurenHollander

Jane, our #jumpingspider, has a new enclosure inspired by the cover of #TheWildRobot by @itspeterbrown. See if you can spot Jane (hint: she is near Brightbill’s fav perch). @AustinISD @PetsinClassroom @Dreamworks @AustinISD_STEM #JaneGoodall @AMCTheatres

@pbsteachers Funniest thing I said to my students: “I just got a face full of fart air!”

Hey, teachers! What's the funniest thing a student has said this past week? Share your giggles with us to celebrate the end of October.

@pbsteachers “She’s a Temu version of you!”

Gertrude went as Dragon Loves Tacos by @rubingo and @rubinsalmieri She loved holding her little book while people caught on that she was a bearded dragon dressed as a taco. @PetsinClassroom @Patton_Pioneers @PTA_Patton @AustinISD_STEM @AustinISD @SnowdenEducates

There’s nothing better than hearing from some former @Patton_Pioneers. @AustinISD @CSMSCougars1415 @WeAreAISD @SnowdenEducates @LYNNforAISD

Want to lead? Stop being “nice". Kind leaders are honest, even when it’s uncomfortable. Use my sheet for success. 👉 Want a PDF of my top infographics? Follow me @thejustinmecham and go here: fullpotentialzone.beehiiv.com/subscribe Please repost to help others out there! ♻️ “Nice” leadership holds people back, here’s why: Too many leaders mistake being nice for being kind. Being "nice" doesn’t solve problems. It doesn’t build trust or push people to grow. It simply avoids conflict, leaving issues unresolved. Think about a time when your leader was just "nice." They: Avoided conflict Ignored problems Sugarcoated feedback Maybe it felt good at first, but did you really grow from it? Being kind is different. Leadership isn’t a popularity contest. It’s about creating a space where people feel: Challenged Supported Trusted Kindness does that. Niceness doesn’t.

One of Gertrude’s favorite kiddos from last year dedicated her essay about the discovery of bearded dragons to Gert. She wrote a beautiful intro. @PetsinClassroom @Patton_Pioneers @LYNNforAISD @AustinISD_STEM @AustinISD_OID

Gertrude got to experience the Gaga pit and blacktop today during recess. She finally has a leash that she can’t escape from and she LOVED warming herself at recess. @PetsinClassroom @Patton_Pioneers @AustinISD_STEM @AustinISD

I tried something new this afternoon to increase extension options. We played Choose Your Fighter where the kids chose a famous mathematician to solve their problem. Today was Isaac Newton vs Katherine Johnson. @AustinISD @AustinISD_STEM @AustinISD_OID @AggieJohnNeeley

Gert received quite the introduction to @Minecraft Education today. She really enjoyed the rollercoaster and #axolotls the kids used. @PetsinClassroom @PlayCraftLearn @AustinISD @AustinISD_STEM #beardeddragon

I never thought my sweet Ellis would have to teach not judging someone until you know their character. He is an ideal animal ambassador if given the chance. @PetsinClassroom @AustinISD_STEM #snakes #DontJudgeABook

@AustinISDFood @AustinISD My class was so excited for the shells!

🧀 Have you tried our new shells and cheese? We are featuring this tasty new menu item at @AustinISD elementary schools tomorrow. Bonus...it's also Chocolate Milk Monday! 🥛 View full menus at SchoolCafe.com/AustinISD.

My sweet little Ellis fell asleep in a student’s pencil bag this afternoon. The kids also got to see him yawn which I still haven’t seen 😢 He is such a wonderful snake. @PetsinClassroom @Patton_Pioneers @AustinISD_STEM

@itspeterbrown @Dreamworks I say it too! Every time it’s advertised I say “of course it’s great, it’s Peter Brown’s book”

Is it petty of me to keep repeating that this beautiful movie by @Dreamworks is based on my book? The team of artists + animators + designers did an outstanding job + I want people to know that my book was the inspiration! Is that wrong? This is all new for me! #thewildrobot

@AustinISD_OID @AustinISD @Patton_Pioneers @PetsinClassroom @SnowdenEducates @AustinISD_STEM @AggieJohnNeeley @LaurenHollander You have good intel! She will always be my DQ.

@BeasleysBunch @AustinISD @Patton_Pioneers @PetsinClassroom @SnowdenEducates @AustinISD_STEM @AggieJohnNeeley @LaurenHollander Word on the 4th grade street is that her alias is Dairy Queen! 🥸🐔

Chickie Wickie received quite the education during her day in fourth grade. She was the perfect student. @AustinISD @Patton_Pioneers @PetsinClassroom @SnowdenEducates @AustinISD_STEM @AggieJohnNeeley @LaurenHollander #chickens

While she is recovering from a torn toe nail, my favorite @Patton_Pioneers chicken is experiencing fourth grade. @SnowdenEducates @LaurenHollander @AggieJohnNeeley @AustinISD_STEM @PetsinClassroom

Ellis had his first big moment as a class pet. One student was experiencing some test anxiety so I asked if she wanted some snake therapy. We let her hold Ellis, allowing his muscles to contract around her arms and it calmed her anxiety. Snakes for the Win! @PetsinClassroom
