McKinney ISD will be closed on Monday, September 1, for Labor Day. Classes will resume on Tuesday, September 2. We hope you have a wonderful weekend!

These sweet mathematicians have been working hard on building number sense, addition strategies, and teamwork! #itsaslaughterthing #mymisd

We're back!! We had a blast in our first week of 2nd grade! These mathematicians had fun exploring math tools and setting new goals. #itsaslaughterthing #mymisd

Field trip success! Thank you, McKinney Roots, for teaching our 2nd graders where our food comes from and about giving to others! #itsaslaughterthing

These sweet mathematicians had a blast learning to estimate, measure, and compare lengths in inches, feet, yards, and centimeters! #itsaslaughterthing #mymisd

I loved watching the excitement and engagement as these engineers designed, created, and tested communication devices! #wearemckinney #itsaslaughterthing #curiouscreativeconnected

Glow Day was exhausting, but worth it! We learned about repeated addition when some spiders escaped from a haunted house. We learned about teamwork to solve how many legs escaped with this Building Thinking Classrooms task. #itsaslaughterthing #mymisd #BuildingThinkingClassrooms

These engineers researched, planned, and built structures to withstand a typhoon (or a box fan)! They learned that failure is an important part of the engineering process and that marshmallows are delicious! #itsaslaughterthing #WeAreMckinney #MckinneyScience

Thank you to our amazing Slaughter PTO for bringing the Creature Teacher to school today! I think the Joey and the boa constrictor were our faves! #itsaslaughterthing #mymisd

These authors made my teacher heart so happy! Look how engaged they are! They worked hard to brainstorm, plan, draft, revise&edit, and publish a personal narrative. #itsaslaughterthing #mymisd

College Week cuties! These 2nd graders are going to do great things! #itsaslaughterthing #collegeweek #mymisd

I finally got my 15 minutes (it might have been 2 minutes) of fame!!! I'm so thankful to teach with amazing, supportive people who lift me up! #itsaslaughterthing #teammckinney #mymisd

2nd grade scientists explored how we can change the physical properties of matter. 🤩 #itsaslaughterthing #mymisd

These authors were so engaged in their writing this week, it made my teacher heart happy! We also had fun exploring Base 10 blocks to help us understand place value. #itsaslaughterthing #mymisd

This week, these 2nd graders had fun learning addition strategies and practicing how to work with a partner in reading! #itsaslaughterthing #mymisd

These cute scientists had fun exploring tools that we use to stay safe and investigate the world around us. #itsaslaughterthing #mymisd

We were so excited to go to Library Orientation today! Thank you to our amazing LMS, @MrsAColwell and Mrs. Purkiss. I love to see my new 2nd grade sweeties engaged with a good book! #mymisd #itsaslaughterthing

We're off to a great start at Slaughter! We're seeing community circles, morning meetings, locker talks, and classes learning how to walk in the halls. Kids are getting to know their new teachers and classmates. It's going to be a great year! #teammckinney #slaughterwolfpack

I got to experience one of the coolest things today with 16 of my favorite people! Thank you, Wilmeth and MISD for helping us make this a day these kids will never forget! #pathoftotality #solareclipse2024 #wilmeth #mymisd

These Kindergarteners had practice COOPERATION to create their group graphs. I love it when we can use our character trait of the month to get the job done! #wilmeth #mymisd
