When you decide the day before that you need small groups today based on student performance on yesterday's work, you have a busy morning 😵‍💫🤪🤯 @ODMSMustangs @AliefScience #smallgroups #lawofconservationofmass #wordproblems #teacherlife

Don't ever discount what team building activities you use to start the year. Several students listed the activity we did on the 2nd day of school as a favorite @odms_sci @ODMSMustangs

Even parts of the STAAR review showed up as favorite activities/memories @AliefScience @ODMSMustangs @odms_sci #staarreview #smallgroups

Favorite activities and memories from my class this year, from super starters to anchoring phenomena to labs to STAAR review #classroomculture #scienceclass #scienceteacher #buildingrelationships #anchoringphenomena #aliefisd https://t.co/zuA2wUeIdy

Team M&M incorporated our anchoring phenomena for each unit as a big kick off event in the LGI together. Lots of students selected these activities as a favorite memory or activity. @AliefScience @odms_sci @ODMSMustangs #anchoringphenomena #scienceclass #collaboration

15 years of service @AliefISD @AliefScience @ODMSMustangs @odms_sci

Our last kick-off event of the year! #climatechange #teamandm #scienceteachers #volcano @odms_sci @ODMSMustangs @AliefScience

Modeling energy flow in ecosystem @odms_sci @ODMSMustangs @AliefScience

Team M&M had our students adding organisms to their ecosystem with the goal of creating a sustainable ecosystem. The funniest part was the groans every time a "disturbance" happened to the ecosystem and we said "Oh no....all the....died!" @odms_sci @ODMSMustangs @AliefScience

Modeling how the tilt of the Earth causes different parts of Earth to get different amounts of the sun's energy. Thanks to the social studies department for acquiring a second globe for me so I can do two models at once. @ODMSMustangs @odms_sci @AliefScience @AliefISD
