These activities looked like so much fun! @SolarSTEAMGirls always finding ways to incorporate STEAM! Definitely feeling some of the fomo!
STEAM Friday involved lots of ~spooky~ crafts in middle school today!! 7th graders got to paint and launch mini pumpkins, while 8th graders assembled movable skeleton hands. A fearfully fantastic way to end the week! @MsRudd_Math @SolarSTEAMGirls

Students were able to explain the references in the rap song. They won’t ever be able to listen to Drake’s “God’s Plan” the same 🤣!

“God’s Plan” Students became experts on Manifest Destiny by TEACHING one another over the different U.S. land acquisitions. They were then treated to a concert by Lil Uncle Sam. Told y’all I was cooking something! @dallasschools @DISDSocStud @TxSocialStudies @SolarSTEAMGirls

I am really fortunate to be able to work at a school like @SolarSTEAMGirls where I am allowed to express myself and teach in ways I didn’t even know I could. This was a great experience! Gracias! @dallasschools
