Alief Glow Party Cheer Competition! Go Mustangs!! @ODMSMustangs #aliefcheer

Based on student feedback, I have been giving them notes with a space to draw or describe their interpretations to help them remember the concept. I love seeing their thinking! @ODMSMustangs #scienceclass #notes #biodiversity

Using "energy points" to rebuild an ecosystem that can withstand the disruptions I throw their way @ODMSMustangs #ecosystems #scienceclass

This was our new favorite activity! @ODMSMustangs #nothumbs #adaptations #scienceclass #structuraladaptation

All I want for Christmas is for no one to break this "vacuole" today 😂 @ODMSMustangs #scienceclass #organelles #teachingorganelles #vacuole #Balloon

I can speak to their effectiveness as hair gel, but Aussie freeze gel is far superior to other gels in representing cytoplasm 😂 @ODMSMustangs #scienceclass #teachingorganelles #Biology #cytoplasm #aussiehairgel

When you decide the day before that you need small groups today based on student performance on yesterday's work, you have a busy morning 😵‍💫🤪🤯 @ODMSMustangs @AliefScience #smallgroups #lawofconservationofmass #wordproblems #teacherlife

Don't ever discount what team building activities you use to start the year. Several students listed the activity we did on the 2nd day of school as a favorite @odms_sci @ODMSMustangs

Even parts of the STAAR review showed up as favorite activities/memories @AliefScience @ODMSMustangs @odms_sci #staarreview #smallgroups

Favorite activities and memories from my class this year, from super starters to anchoring phenomena to labs to STAAR review #classroomculture #scienceclass #scienceteacher #buildingrelationships #anchoringphenomena #aliefisd instagram.com/reel/DJ7jKHnyz…

Team M&M incorporated our anchoring phenomena for each unit as a big kick off event in the LGI together. Lots of students selected these activities as a favorite memory or activity. @AliefScience @odms_sci @ODMSMustangs #anchoringphenomena #scienceclass #collaboration
