We had so much fun channeling our inner “Iggy Peck, Architect” by putting various materials together to create new, BIGGER objects! Sparks Elementary

When I am asked how I get my students to LOVE to read, I tell them three things: 1. Every finished novel is celebrated! 2. No reading logs! 3. So much choice! (Finished novels from my two 5th grade classes after 13 days of school!!) #proudteacher #believeinyourshelf

4th grade scientists testing out open and closed circuits, insulators,conductors, PacMan and a little piano action! Thanks to @Librarian_Jami and Orczy Yerkie for leading this! Staff and student collaboration to reach ALL learners 🤩! Frisco Bright Academy- IB PYP School Jamie Flemmer

These Ss are building academic vocabulary using pictures, collaboration and partner/small group work.Content embedded practice helps create a language rich classroom! Reach them to teach them 👍🏽😍! Frisco Bright Academy- IB PYP School Laura sawyers Frisco ISD ESL and Bilingual Jamie Flemmer

Did you say circuits? Our fabulous fourth graders explored how electricity travels in a circuit. Allen Elementary #fabulousfourth #OurAllenLegacy #GetYourLearnOnAES

What a great foundational skill students are exploring! These students are engaged in exploring and trying out their thinking!

Playing games with vocabulary helps students solidify learning once they’ve explored & now have an experience to make the words have meaning. The diagrams helps students understand what 3D objects looks like when flat on paper. Good things are happening at Bright Academy!

Looks like your students were pretty engaged while exploring circuits! STEMscopes

I went into classrooms and interviewed S in their math stations. They were able to coach me through what they had learned and it was evident they were using math talk. I even saw a fabulous guided math small group in 3rd grade! Check out the clear expectations, too. Sonntag_3rdgrade

Testing force on different surfaces around the school Sonntag Elementary @FISDElemScience

Force & Motion Inquiry! I am so proud of these scientists as they embraced the challenge of designing their own investigations to test the effects of force on an object. It was a loud & crazy day of authentic learning.Newman Elementary Jamie #Inquiry #NewmanIsFutureReady

Our 5th graders not attending camp are camping with me at Riddle!🏕️ Fun times ahead!🥰 Frisco ISD @FISDElemScience #FISDmadetoshine

So proud of my students & the progress they’ve made on writing justifications for inquiry labs. They struggled at first with recurring themes but are now able to recognize RTs in their research & explain how they support their claim. Riddle Elementary @FISDElemScience #FISDmadetoshine

What a detailed analysis and justification!

I love the detailed illustrations!!

So excited to be part of this team! Sonntag Elementary Anne Mathew and I will be presenting some summer learning. We can’t wait for you to see what will be offered!
