Listen to our new episode of the OWLitude podcast. This was another great conversation with one of our students. #WeAreIandG #OWLitude #TransformativeEmotionalIntelligence @IandGCenter @gutiexfer @CHdzRivera podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/owl… open.spotify.com/show/41N4M5771…

One of my classes said to me one day that they wanted to make chorizo and eggs. I told them sure, but how can we connect it to what we are learning. They were so quick to explain what I have been teaching them in that moment. Food is a great motivator. #OWLitude @IandGCenter

Students @IandGCenter were busy maintaining our outdoor study area. They are practicing being a #PositiveInfluence, by keeping the area looking great for the other students that use it to study. @gutiexfer @McAllenISD @CityofMcAllen #study #naturalareas #bananaplants #gardening

Support our students and district by purchasing a McAllen ISD Autism Awareness t-shirt. We thank you for your support! #ALLIn @McAllenISD givebacks.com/causes/mcallen…

I can't think of a better way to make connections to my content. Our outdoor classroom and hands-on activities are a must to engage our learners. #WeAreIandG #OWLitude @IandGCenter @McAllenISD

Students @IandGCenter completed the #wildflower bed and planted the seeds! Certain seeds required to be planted 12" apart while the others were scattered. We look forward to a colorful display next to our outdoor study area in a few weeks. @gutiexfer @mcallenisd @CityofMcAllen

Learners @IandGCenter collaborate in completing tasks, involving creation of picnic tables. This is a great release with connections made after DMAC testing this past 2 weeks with English, Science & Social Studies. Next up is DMAC Mathematics testing! @gutiexfer, @McAllenISD, @CityofMcAllen, @NCTM, @HEB, @PSJAISD, @WeslacoISD, @dallasschools, @WomensPoetryISW

Our students are always showing us their great communication skills when it comes to running our OWL Store. They definitely give great customer service. @IandGCenter @gutiexfer @CityofMcAllen @McAllenISD @CHdzRivera #WeAreIandG #OWLitude

Students @IandGCenter applied the #pythagorean theorem and #Cosine ratio to determine the height of a #kite. #Realworld applications are fun and help a student understand the usefulness of #mathematics! @gutiexfer @mcallenisd @CityofMcAllen #owlitude

Hosting debates to practice our writing skills and argumentative techniques. The main takeaway my students are great at making a case for their argument. #OWLitude #WeAreIandG @IandGCenter @CHdzRivera @gutiexfer @ValeriaCarp_ @RD_ROBERTS

After a few days of cold weather, students at @IandGCenter are having some fun in the sun! Time to get the body moving 💪 @gutiexfer @McAllenISD

Making candles while it's been cold these past couple of days has helped us stay warm. @IandGCenter @gutiexfer @CHdzRivera #OWLitude #WeAreIandG

My students wanted to check on our rabbits and were welcomed with a surprise. We have a newborn bunny and I can tell you many of our students were excited. @CHdzRivera @gutiexfer @IandGCenter #OWLitude

Students at @IandGCenter learning an underhand serve for volleyball. As students master this, we will progress to an overhead serve .@gutiexfer @McAllenISD

Students @IandGCenter have been reviewing the campus rules & regs. They are also participating in team building exercises and are very excited about the #purple #bananas that are growing at our #tropical outdoor study area! @gutiexfer @McAllenISD @CityofMcAllen #tropicalfruit

We started our new year and new semester with engaging activities. Ending our week with a teacher and student basketball game was a great way to keep our students motivated. #OWLitdude #WeAreIandG #ALLIn @IandGCenter @gutiexfer @CHdzRivera

Students at @IandGCenter enjoy lifting weights and maxing out to get strong and healthy @gutiexfer @McAllenISD @CityofMcAllen

Our students had an enlightening and heartfelt experience visiting the Grand Terrace Rehabilitation to sing Christmas songs and give out some small gifts. I'm so proud of our students for showing empathy for those who are there. @IandGCenter @McAllenISD @gutiexfer #OWLitude

Students vs teachers @IandGCenter helps build strong relationships on the court and in the classroom! @gutiexfer @McAllenISD @CityofMcAllen

When you have a week full of engaging activities, it is always great to play a game with our students to end the week. Building a positive school climate and culture is a top priority for us. @IandGCenter @CHdzRivera @gutiexfer @IandGoutdoors @IGArtMcallenISD #WeAreIandG #ALLIn

Thanks to the Texas Parks & Wildlife for coming by our campus and showing our students the career opportunities that are possible for them. @IandGCenter @TPWDnews @CHdzRivera @gutiexfer #WeAreIandG #OWLitude #WeAreALLIn
