Getting in the holiday spirit with festive pajama day at school! Love my co-workers! VIDA (6-8 Magnet)

Project Launch in Math -- one of our favorite projects -- the car buying experience. Learning not just Math standards but also getting the basis for some real life, daily finance, that is often left out of K-12 experiences. #WeAreVIDA

Lets go VIDA (6-8 Magnet) !!!!!!!!!

Throwback Thursday! Ss presenting their finance projects in their Halloween costumes😂 Always having fun at VIDA (6-8 Magnet) 💙

Another throwback to the Thanksgiving door decorating contest! Reminiscing fun times from first semester💙

Retweet if you need encouragement today. You got this!

Teacher-led learning 4 other teachers. Using our design process to tackle what we care about most with our students - their words, feelings, testaments are text for our own deeper learning. Tears. Appreciation. Ohana shows up. Thank you Jennifer Snyder & Emily Adler #WeAreVIDA

An experience of a lifetime to work on what we are both incredibly passion about out… our students💙 Couldn’t have asked for a better partner, mentor, and wizard to make this come to life!

The #DesignCampSD night before feels extra love tonight. #Joyzistance

Design matters to me because I enjoy critical thinking and skill building with others on how we can make the world a better place! Design fills my cup with joy and purpose💙 #dtk12chat #designcamp #sxswedu

Design practices support deeper learning with students as it prepares them for real world life experiences. A textbook will not help them problem solve… a textbook will not spark their creativity… a textbook will not create empathy… #dtk12chat #designcamp #sxswedu

Break down that box of traditional schooling and bring back joy, empathy, community, self care, PBL, and equity! #designcamp #dtk12chat

Blown Away #designcamp #dtk12chat #sxswEDU

You are amazing!

Twin day with my girlies! Quadruplets👯‍♀️👯‍♀️💙📸

7th grade VIDA (6-8 Magnet) working on their projects! They’re working together to decorate their cubes & rectangular prisms while finding the surface area & volume. #wearevida

Presenting VIDA (6-8 Magnet) class of 2022!!!! These students are resilient. The number of hoops they had to jump through in the past few years was unfair, but I feel confident as we did everything in our power to prepare them for a successful future.💙

How many of us learned financial literacy while also learning the "core" Math principles in middle school? Love our 8th GR Math Team Emily Adler & Katie Ruiz build this in w/ the "Total Money Makeover" & combining our design process & #Empathy into the project! #WeAreVIDA
