I got a surprise visit yesterday! @NISDMcDermott 1st graders will be going to the San Antonio Botanical Gardens thanks to @nisdnef Field Trip Grant! @brazzill_aleyna
STEM class creates so many ways to reinforce traditional academic subjects in a fun and engaging way! Embracing the Science and Math in #STEM this week! @NISDMcDermott
2nd graders developing grit and perseverance! We are learning how to laugh and keep going when things don't work the first, second, or even third time!😂 @NISDMcDermott @NISDSTEMLabs

✨️Year 10✨️ This has been my best year yet! I grew as a STEM Teacher, improved my grant writing skills, and worked with some amazing teachers on my team, on my campus, and across the district. #grateful @NISDMcDermott
3rd Graders studied force and motion this year, so of course we engineered amusement park rides! One of the requirements was that it had to be able to move with a push or pull. It was tricky, bit these kids persevered! @NISDMcDermott @NISDSTEMLabs @NISDElemScience
These first graders did an amazing job using Talebots these last couple of weeks. They reviewed the life cycle of plants and created their very own stories while learning to program. @NISDMcDermott @NISDSTEMLabs
4th Graders were Lyft Drivers this week. They programmed a @Sphero Bolt to follow a path to pick up "passengers". We had a lot fun working on our debugging skills and adding silly messages and animations to the programs. @NISDSTEMLabs @NISDMcDermott

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimed…

For the first time in over 50 years, humans are Moonbound.
At 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC) NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft lifted off from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending four astronauts on a planned test flight around the Moon and back. go.nasa.gov/4tlRfRS

The @NISDMcDermott Falcon Finders did an amazing job at the @NISD Robotics Championship this weekend! We got to visit with some former students on the @NISDRawlinson Teams. And my co-coach won the Distinguished Coach Award! Well deserved!
Planetarium time @NISDMcDermott What an amazing experience to bring to the night sky and the wonders of space to our students. I can't tell you how many kids have come up and raved about it afterward. @NISD @NISDElemScience

These firsties got to grow lettuce in STEM with @TeachMsRoss and we even got to try a piece! 🥬 @NISDMcDermott
Last weekend, the @NISDMcDermott Falcon Finders had an amazing time at the Robotics Competition! We showcased the coding, research, and team building these kids have done over the past school year. We can't wait for finals! @NISDElemScience @SollarsAmalia

So proud of my firsties for meeting and exceeding their goal on @Istationed and special thanks to @TeachMsRoss for 3D printing them gold stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @NISDMcDermott
It's been a short week, but a busy week in the @NISDMcDermott STEM Lab. These kids are amazing! I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. ❤️
Kinder City Planners in action! We learned about urban planning and important community workers and buildings. @NISDSTEMLabs @NISDMcDermott
