After reading Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons, we got inspired to use all those buttons to build our own groovy button towers! Learning + creativity = one cool cat kind of day @NISDMurnin 😎🐾 #PeteTheCat #GroovyButtons #STEMFun

We had a great time celebrating #DotDay @NISDMurnin — a splash of creativity, color, and circuits! 🎨🟠🖌️ #MakeYourMark #InternationalDotDay

1st graders took on the one-sheet paper chain challenge ✂️📝 Which team could work together to make the longest chain? So much teamwork, problem solving, and fun! #STEM #Teamwork @NISDMurnin

Kinders took on the hula hoop teamwork challenge this week! 🎉 They had to work together, communicate, and problem-solve to get the hoop all the way around the circle 🤝💫 #Teamwork #KindergartenFun @NISDMurnin

Cup stacking two ways: 1️⃣ each team member uses only 1 finger. 2️⃣ use only the strings tied to the rubber band. Either way, the key to success is TEAMWORK! @NISDMurnin

Go Hawks!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! This week’s teamwork challenge had students building their own coconut trees and carefully balancing their letters on top We had lots of collaboration, problem-solving, and even some giggles along the way! @NISDMurnin

@NISD Robotics! We have #Unearthed the first round of this season’s materials! Woo hoo! Get to digging in! @NISDElemScience @NISDMSScience @NISDSTEMLabs

It’s more than a game

Teamwork makes STEM work @NISDMurnin This week our teams tackled a challenge using teamwork and persistence, and next week’s challenges will take it to the next level. Stay tuned! 👀

2nd grade challenge: Build the tallest tower you can using only the materials on your table. Them: Can we use the bucket Me: Is it on your table? Them: Bet! 😂 Love the creativity @NISDMurnin

Starting the 2025 season 1-0! There won’t be a bigger win than this one! We love you Coach!!

@melinda_valdez1 @NISDBeard @NISDSTEMLabs Melinda we will miss you so much in STEM! McAndrew and the entire GT department are so lucky to have you! 💕

Lots of changes in NISD with budget cuts. I’m no longer teaching STEM. I will miss my job, the families, & my wonderful co-workers at Beard. I’m starting a new career path as a Gifted and Talented Teacher at McAndrew Elementary. Super excited to learn & grow as an educator.

To the Harlan students, faculty, staff, athletes, coaches, parents, fans, community, and everyone in between - THANK YOU! Thank you for the overwhelming generosity and support for Coach Salas and his family. Hawk Nation- you showed up last night!! #SalasStrong

#SalasStrong Hawk Nation is behind you @coachesalas !!! @NISD_Athletics @NISD
