My birthday is tomorrow, but I got to celebrate with my students today! The best part was ending summer school by making awesome piñatas together. What a great way to wrap up an amazing summer! 🧁💙 #RISDSummer #ACEIgnite @HollyGoTweets @Anabel_Ruiz19

Kinder had a blast with a simple Sink or Float STEAM challenge! Students explored what makes objects sink or float, then used their new knowledge to design and build their own boats. @HollyGoTweets @Anabel_Ruiz19 #RISDSummer #ACEignite #STEAMlearning

Read, Act, and Make! We brought The Three Little Pigs to life by reading, acting, and creating our own pig houses. One of my childhood favorites! ❤️🏠 #RISDSummer #ACEignite @Anabel_Ruiz19 @HollyGoTweets

Last field trip of the summer! We had a blast at the BHS STEM Center exploring biomes through hands-on learning. It was engaging, interactive, and FUN! 🌎🔬 #RISDSummer #ACEignite @JBurgessRISDSci @Anabel_Ruiz19 @HollyGoTweets

STEAM fun in summer school! This week, students explored light, shadows, and sun safety. They discovered how shadows are made and designed their own sun hats to stay safe while having fun outdoors! 🧢☀️ #RISDSummer #ACEignite @HollyGoTweets #RISD #LearningIsFun @Anabel_Ruiz19

🐔 Our red hen might be AI generated… but the rest is 100% kindergarten made! ❤️ #ACEIgnite #RISDsummer @HollyGoTweets @Anabel_Ruiz19

Today, we read Goldilocks Learns a Lesson and became storytellers! Students used puppets to retell the story and bring the characters to life📚 🐻 #ACEignite #RISDsummer #ReadingIsFun

Ly’s Goldfish story was a hit! Students got creative making their own fish backgrounds. To top it off, each student took home their very own “goldfish” Don’t worry no fish were harmed! Our goldfish were made from aluminum foil. #RISDsummer #ACEignite @Anabel_Ruiz19

2nd Grade Bilingual students are talking about the sequence of events they do to get ready for school. #ACEignite

Big thanks to city of Richardson Library for bringing interactive activities to #ACEIgnite #RISDSummer PreK students. This is summer learning that feels like engaging play for our youngest learners! @Anabel_Ruiz19

No textbook required for this lesson! Today, ACE Ignite students went on a journey through the Galaxy without ever leaving school. If you aren't bringing a literal planetarium to summer school, are you even doing it right? #RISDsummer #ACEIgnite

Fun filled morning at the Dallas Arboretum! #RISDSummer
