Thank you Dr. DougK (Dismantling WSC in EDU)! You may be a bit biased😘

First day back VIDA (6-8 Magnet) was filled with energy. The snowball fight with “snowballs” that have little known facts about themselves was fun!

Using Austin’s Butterfly to teach feedback and then practicing that skill with a red cup challenge never fails to bring groups together! VIDA (6-8 Magnet)

Iterating on a prototype in the graphic novel design lab includes collaboration and FUN!! VIDA (6-8 Magnet) Elton Richards

Back to School Night was so amazing! So great to see parents in person again!

The Virtual Reality elective class is designing and presenting their VR lab prototypes and giving specific, helpful, and kind feedback. Their feedback and focus are unbelievable! #WeAreVida VIDA (6-8 Magnet)

Connection time with my 6th grade Virtual Reality class. We spent some quiet thoughtful time considering how they felt and then, if they felt comfortable, they posted their feelings on our “Sharks, how are you feeling?” wall?VIDA (6-8 Magnet) #WeAreVida

Sparking creativity is #bettertogether always!! Sts were making these shapes in teams and they had so much fun in the productive struggle!! VIDA (6-8 Magnet)

6th grade elective kiddos being led in a Price is Right game by Katie Ruiz WEB students during connection time is the perfect way to show we are #BetterTogether VIDA (6-8 Magnet)

Quote of the week from a sweet, excited 6th grader: Mrs. Kriedeman!!! I made a new word. It’s FACTUALLY; it means actually facts!!” 😂😂😂 I love them. #WeAreVida VIDA (6-8 Magnet)

Thank you for allowing the kids to present to your students! Such a great experience for them!!

Thank you for allowing them to present to your kiddos! They had some excellent feedback to work on their prototypes!

Mastering plot structure becomes a little easier when students collaborate and SEE the format in multiple modes. VIDA (6-8 Magnet) #WeAreVida

Celebrating Dia de los Muertos w my students after learning about for the past two weeks was a real joy. Ss created Loteria cards, honored those who have passed, & were amazed by the beauty of the ofrenda at the Vista Innovation Center with the help of Eva Lopez VIDA’s Liaison

Design Challenge day VIDA (6-8 Magnet) and 7th grade just beginning one point perspective in prep for creating a scaled model of a city street. Tomorrow we create facades for their Fortnite themed street. #WeAreVIDA

Day 2 of our One point perspective design challenge, and this lively group worked through all kinds of challenges. Took the group pic before they’d finished, and they still have details they want to add. Pretty impressed with their collaboration on this street VIDA (6-8 Magnet)

Metaverse, crypto, blockchain!! Oh my!!! Kiddos are so excited to don those headsets and create some artwork in their own virtual worlds!

The pure excitement for creating artwork in a virtual reality environment is a joy to behold!! #WeAreVida VIDA (6-8 Magnet)

#DesignCamp 3D Virtual Art session was a success thanks to the STUDENT SUPERSTARS who demonstrated and taught attendees how to create beautiful art on Tiltbrush. Special thanks to Eric Chagala & Matt Doyle, Ed.D. for supporting the vision of our VR lab & coming to learn from the Ss.

Design challenge day VIDA (6-8 Magnet) 7th grade worked on creating roadside attractions and practicing their construction skills for beautiful work. They are never happier than when they are building!! #WeAreVida
