In science over the next few weeks we are going to make connections between our earth, sun, moon unit and it’s patterns/cycles using a @SpheroEdu . @betsygipe has some pretty awesome things to share with us! Super excited for what’s to come. #McAMuseum

@robydeb A7- Across disciplines D&C can be very powerful but hard for me to grasp and lead the students to make the connections. I hope to use this to drive me #lisdchat

Q7: Challenge: What is one strategy will you try out to enhance metal dexterity in your classroom?

@robydeb A6 D&C allows students to approach a story, problem, scenario, event in history, experiment with a different lens. #lisdchat

Q6: The image below represents 3 methodologies which promote higher level thinking. How do you see D&C helping students’ achieve higher levels of learning?

@robydeb A5 I am thankful that the science curriculum incorporates D&C perfectly! #lisdchat

Q5: The framework of D&C is meant to promote deep and creative thinking. Share ways that you have seen D&C promote metal dexterity.

@robydeb A4 student created product stands out to me. Having that ownership and power behind your reasoning and research. #lisdchat

Q4: What image/s come to mind when you consider the difference between thinking at DOK Level 1 and thinking at DOK level 3 or 4 #LISDchat

@robydeb A3 I have really been leaning on our facilitator this year @HollyPlunkett70 to help me come up with extensions for my GT kids that directly correlates to the content we are studying.

Q3: Growing Ss with MD doesn’t just happen.. We have to create opportunities for Ss to experiment with their thinking. What strategies do you use to encourage Ss to enhance their thinking? What impact has this made in the classroom? #LISDchat

@robydeb A2 I think every one of the bullet points are guiding points for our GT Kids. They thrive best when they are Challanged and engaged in the content. #lisdchat

Q2: How does embracing mental dexterity support any of the bullet points below that come from one of the LISD skilled documents? #LISDchat.

@robydeb A1 this looks like students eager to learn and continue learning after class is over and can sound like inquisitive questioning. #lisdchat

Q1: Mental dexterity is defined as: sharpness of mind, or skill in thinking creatively & understanding & expressing something quickly & easily. What does this look like and sound like in your classroom? #LISDchat

We had a blast in science today. Kale was our teacher and he rocked it. The kids got to do two experiments and a kahoot all about Kale. It was super fun!!! 👨🏼‍🔬 @ Highland Village, Texas instagram.com/p/Bxkmqh7Bg4yD…

Studying ACIDS and BASES in science club today. The joys of litmus paper! #campMcA @jennmatt232323 @ Highland Village, Texas instagram.com/p/BvmAeJyhxQYI…

Used VR goggles today to study landforms. #campMcA thank you to the amazing cathy_fields_ for all you do. instagram.com/p/BstmPI7BxEC/…

@JordanSpieth you had my 6 year old freaking out this evening. He noticed you leaving ⛪. My husband said to let the man enjoy his Sunday but I really knew they were both shaking in their boots to see their fellow #Catholic

Here come the happy tears! 😭😭 I loved receiving these notes from my former students. briarhill_bulldog your #kindnessweek touched so many! 🙋‍♀️ #LISDthrive #CampMcA instagram.com/p/Boe5VWbhAur/…

Misconception: the kids “these days” would rather produce a project using digital tools. They get pretty excited when we bust out the markers and posters. #oldschool #campMcA instagram.com/p/Bobu2mtBl2F/…

We believe that we will win! #CampMcA @ McAuliffe Highlander instagram.com/p/BnZdZw4lVXa/…

When you and your student are ready for game day! #sec #aggiefootball #campMcA @ McAuliffe Highlander instagram.com/p/BnG5RejlBhe/…
