Joyful moments 😍 pull toy parade with robotics and PVE 3rd graders. Every day with three radically different STEM courses is hectic - but I love this position for the experiences we have the ability to create. NISD CTE Chisholm Trail Middle School

Played ball with the middle school boys today. My clothes were absolutely drenched in sweat afterwards, but it was worth it. Let your kids experience you outside of a solely academic setting.

I know them!!

Sensory lab stations in med term!

The sweetest gift from the best boss 🥰🥰 thank, Casey Helmick. You made my week!

Love brain dissection day!

Shout out to school secretaries and administrative assistants for pulling subs and plans together in the middle of a CoVid upsurge that has us all scrambling!

Only in CTE can you go from building cardboard furniture to racing drag racers to teaching the reproductive system in a span of three class periods.

Hands-on learning is what happens in Mrs. Wier’s class. #STEM #wearechisholm #loveourteachers

Cardboard furniture coming along!!

Learned about mitosis before break - day we came back we reviewed, modeled, and created a flipgrid explaining the process. These kids move FAST!

Some days you get so caught up in what you need to get done before Monday and then a parent tells you in passing that her daughter wants to pursue sports medicine now because of your class and now you’re crying and all the stress and chaos is sometimes almost worth it.

Repeat after me: I got everything done that I could, given the resources, capacity, and time provided.

A week late for posting but some of my fav cardboard furniture projects! Students had to build a piece of furniture for a client with an innovative storage feature. They were so creative and worked so hard on them!

Modeling how food passes through the digestive system with a messy lab!

You can be frustrated by what's happening to the teaching profession and still find things in your day with students that give you joy.

Fifteen hours until we’re at the hospital in this pic 😂😂 Last day with the kids!
