Daily Reflection: Was I better for kids today? Did every decision I make, make kids better today?

Teaching isn’t a solo act. Behind every long day and small win is a village: Coworkers, mentors, family, and friends who make it all sustainable. Some days are heavy, some are beautiful, most are both. Grateful I don’t do this alone. I'm thankful for my village. ❤️

The Snack Squad had a Dill-ightful 🥒 time dishing out treats at the school dance! 💃 🕺 The kids and grown-ups had a lot of fun! It was wonderful to see families enjoying themselves and coming together as part of our school community. 💗

Shout out to Mr. Branecky and his cow Lucy from Southwest Dairy Farmers for demonstrating the journey of milk from farm to table, the importance of dairy in a healthy diet, and the basics of agricultural science.

The kids got to use our ladybug cardboard saws for this unit's STEM Challenge! @nisdelem

Congratulations, Cam!

This was a great hands-on activity that integrated literacy, math, and STEM. It brought storytelling to life while encouraging teamwork, innovation, and critical thinking. TXMobileSTEMLab

Had a lot of fun learning at the #R20STEM by Design Conference! I brought home a @RoboticalLtd Cog and a $25 gift card from @Accel_Learn_Inc

Got my Magic School AI merch 👕 🥰

3rd graders were structural engineers this week. They designed and built landslide barriers. They had 3 criterias: (1) Use at least 3 different materials, (2) Sediment from the landslide must not touch the cars, (3) No debris on the road. 🚧🚨

Our 3rd graders used science tools (hand lenses, loupes, and Smartscopes) to observe soil samples and describe the components of each sample.

Had a great time at the Convocation! It was inspiring to see all the passionate educators ready to kick off the school year. The energy was high and the student performances were impressive! A great reminder of why we do what we do! Year 17, let's go! #NISDConvocation

Students proudly presented their Northern Lights simulations and Avalanche Protection systems at the Science Adventure Camp Showcase! Thanks to all the grown-ups for joining us to celebrate their hard work and creativity. @NISDElemScience

Today at Science Adventure Camp, students showed and described how electrical energy moved through a closed circuit to produce light and heat. They also recognized and classified materials as either conductors or insulators of thermal and electrical energy. @NISDElemScience
