Love our Innovative Teaching Coalition learning leadership! Words from a team member, “So excited!! I made an unplugged coding gift for Kindergarten and 1st! It’s a sight word maze.” Cathy Garcia #limitless #innovationthrives Waxahachie ISD

Marvin kindergarten is all set to show students how to use Sphero Indi programmable cars & Kamigami bug bots. We discussed how STEM checkout resources like these can be used alongside the TEKS such as incorporating them to identify numbers on a number chart. Waxahachie ISD

Mrs. Torres’ kinder friends reached for the sky today as they worked together to build tall structures using giant Legos checked out from the WISD STEM checkout system! Dunaway Elementary Waxahachie ISD #limitless
