So many fun and interesting things happen when 5th graders Budewig Intermediate have to compromise on how to spend $20. Instead of just focusing on operations with decimals, the lesson expanded to decision making, trade offs, working within constraints, and (some) delicious recipes.

Such wonderful news. I’m honored to have a colleague as dedicated as Mrs. Arriaga. I know how hardworking and caring she is.

Proud of all the hard work our Alief ISD Budewig Intermediate put into the competition. Thank you EcoBot Challenge CASE for Kids and @WeAreHCCS for sponsoring. Special thanks to my partner in geekiness J Marquez

Thank you Alief ISD. I can’t believe it’s already been 5 years since you took a chance on me. The best is yet to come… Budewig Intermediate #aliefproud #aliefstrong
