After finishing up the Systems Thinking & Process Mapping course, these two thoughts keep repeating in my mind as I begin updating processes and systems for next school year.

Today Creative Minds kids presented on the countries they have been researching, showed off the cultural art they made, and brought a traditional dish they made to share! Saying we ATE is an understatement!! #WPSProud

Parent Career Day at Creative Minds! We had an aerospace engineer, an independent contractor, and a baker! We made helicopters, learned how to be a successful entrepreneur, and made bread! Thankful for such amazing families sharing their expertise! #WPSProud

No one more deserving of @FlagshipKansas Community Innovator of the Year than my favorite techie @showmerob #CIO of @WichitaUSD259. His visionary innovation for education and our Kansas communities is matched by none. I will always celebrate him and his work to bring hope to all.

I am so impressed with the first art project our @EIChargers 6-12th graders created. Mr. Cameron has created projects that help students understand the elements of art while having fun being creative!

Board games and cookies as a reward today! Such fun community building

We’ve been reading Wild Robot and today we did a camouflaged STEM challenge with our mini robots! This fits in perfectly with our conservation unit! #wpsproud
