After the first round of STAAR testing, our Trailblazers took a well-deserved break! 🐰✨ They enjoyed some Easter fun and hands-on adventures with Dash. 📚🤖#OttSeason20 @adelagarza07 @PrincipalBueno

Shoutout to our amazing 2nd graders for embracing a growth mindset during the cantilever challenge! 🌉 They went from 'I can't' to 'I did it!' #perseveranceandteamwork #OttSeason20 @PrincipalBueno @adelagarza07

These 4th graders just leveled up in creativity and teamwork by designing their very own video game using Bloxels. 🎮 #OttSeason20 @PrincipalBueno @adelagarza07

That's a wrap! 🎉 Our first graders finished our environmental engineering unit by learning to reduce, reuse, and recycle ♻️ by creating awesome penny spinners out of cardboard. #OttSeason20 @PrincipalBueno @adelagarza07

Our kinder students stepped into the shoes of health professionals today! 👩‍⚕️🩺 They explored tools of the trade and discovered the fascinating world of health careers. #OttSeason20 @PrincipalBueno @adelagarza07

Our 2nd graders had a blast exploring structural engineering by building geodesic domes! They mastered problem-solving as they worked to create interlocking triangles to build their dome. #OttSeason20 @adelagarza07 @PrincipalBueno

This week, our first graders learned about aqueducts! 🌊💡 The best part was watching their teamwork and communication shine as they worked together in groups. #FutureEnvironmenatalEngineers #OttSeason20 @PrincipalBueno @adelagarza07

Our first-grade environmental engineers waited two weeks for their seeds to sprout. 🌱Thank you, @NISD_OttLibrary for providing space for them. Now, they're excited to plant them at home and learn how plants help our planet! 🌍 #OttSeason20 @PrincipalBueno @adelagarza07

Our 1st grade Environmental Engineers had an amazing time testing pH levels in various liquids! They loved identifying trends and watching the pH strips change color. #OttSeason20 @PaxPatLearning @adelagarza07 @PrincipalBueno

🚀 Our 2nd grade aerospace engineers learned about gravity, drag, thrust, and lift while studying the depth and complexity icons. ✈️ They built and tested their own paper airplanes. What a fun day in STEM! #OttSeason20 @PrincipalBueno @adelagarza07

Celebrating #WorldReadAloudDay by reading 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff!' Our kinders tackled problem-solving by building bridges for the goats to cross the river. #BeamBridges @NISD_OttLibrary @adelagarza07 @PrincipalBueno

We had an Ottsome STREAM night! 🌟 Thanks to SeaWorld, SAWS, and NISD Magnet Schools! Our art teacher showcased our Trailblazers' art. Students had a blast with robotics, reading STEM activities, math stations, and more! 🚀🎨 #ottseason20 @adelagarza07 @PrincipalBueno

Our Trailblazers had a blast exploring the wonders of the planetarium! Thank you @NISDElemScience #OttSeason20 @adelagarza07 @PrincipalBueno

Our kinders are diving into Civil Engineering!🚧🚓 They shaped playdoh into beam bridges, arch bridges, and tunnels. Little engineers in the making! #ottseason20 @adelagarza07.@PrincipalBueno

Our 2nd graders are taking off with Aerospace Engineering! ✈️🚁 They had a blast creating and learning about rotary aircraft. #OttSeason20 @PaxPatLearning @PrincipalBueno @adelagarza07

2nd graders learned the value of teamwork and patience while trying to create a domino chain reaction. Even though they didn't succeed, they didn't give up and embraced the lesson, that's it's okay to fail in STEM class. #OttSeason20 @adelagarza07 @PrincipalBueno

These fifth graders rocked the cup stack challenge with incredible perservance and teamwork-even when no talking was required!🏆👏🥤#Teamwork #OttSeason20 @adelagarza07 @PrincipalBueno

After reading "I Am Not A Chair," first graders used fantastic teamwork to build a chair for their stuffy! #Teamwork #OttSeason20 @adelagarza07 @PrincipalBueno

These Kinder STEMies rocked teamwork by building a structure to save the bears from lava!🌋🐻 #KindergartenHeros #ottseason20 @adelagarza07 @PrincipalBueno

2nd/3rd graders using centimeters to measure distance and coding Dash using blockly to get to the tower without knocking it over!! I was so impressed with their communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking! @UrestiMath #ottlevelup @PrincipalBueno @adelagarza07
