Getting our brains warmed up with a Matisse inspired knot drawing tutorial from Ian Byrd. Boy was this tricky, and boy did our GT perfectionism kick in... but we certainly had fun!!! #MavericksOnAMission

4th graders LOVE the Google AI game of #Semantris! It definitely gets our brains forming connections of words and building more of our natural language understanding. #MavericksOnAMission

4th grade AIM got to share our finalized Mars colonies with @Halpin_MarionAP this afternoon! So neat to show off all our hard work after a year of in depth learning. #MavericksOnAMission

These kiddos have worked so hard all year. It’s been an amazing week of finalizing our Mars colony models. So proud of these 4th graders! #MavericksOnAMission

Testing out my tools as I move into more science. Used my robotic arm to get right up close to this rock after zapping it with my laser. Can you tell I’m really into rocks? mars.nasa.gov/mars2020

Nothing like some beach towel reading to get us pumped for summer vacation! ☀️☀️ #mavericksonamission
