A solar eclipse can happen everyday in the classroom! As we worked on social studies with flashlights, students were making their own solar eclipses on the classroom ceiling! #totality

Targeted Differentiated Playlists: After a math snapshot, we review student data and create playlists to target essential TEKS. Students develop ownership of their learning! #vaughnsoakupthesun

Student Creativity: Tinkercad allows students’ creativity come to life! We learned about Cattle on the Texas Frontier & created our own 3D models of cattle brands! #vaughnsoakupthesun

Innovation Lab: Mind Missions in Social Studies to create oil derricks like Spindletop in 1901! #vaughnsoakupthesun

SPED Support: A visual timer is beneficial for all students! A great way to help teach students to pace themselves on an assignment. #vaughnsoakupthesun

Student Collaboration: Students ordering decimals on a number line using a Math Task & Share! Love these rich math resources! #vaughnsoakupthesun

Total Physical Response: When we enter our geometry unit, students make up the best dance moves to memorize our importance vocabulary! #vaughnsoakupthesun

QSSSA: Students using rich academic language when discussing frequency tables and dot plots. We tracked our classmates’ height using meter sticks and converted measurements into feet and inches. #vaughnsoakupthesun

Thanks to @angelaatkagan for showing us a kagan structure, Showdown, to practice our geometry vocabulary in a fun way!

Goal Setting with Students: Score!!!⚽️These amazing students achieved their math goal and celebrated with lunch in the classroom with the principal!#vaughnsoakupthesun

Happy Thankful Thursday! We used talking chips during Morning Meeting to allow students to share two things they are thankful for! @KaganOnline @VaughnElemFISD #vaughnspringtraining

QSSR Structure: I love the idea of having students stand up when they are ready to share their answer. Allows students to get moving while learning! @VaughnElemFISD #vaughnspringtraining

Differentiated Math Playlists to engage students in their personalized math goals. Learn, Practice, Play! @VaughnElemFISD #vaughnspringtraining

QSSSR for Science! This is a great way to explore student thinking! @VaughnElemFISD #vaughnspringtraining

After recess, Mrs. Pinkerton and I asked students: "Can we give you a compliment?" Students collaborated on basketball teams, invited new friends to play, and shared kind words. Thank you @danifry_math for the idea! #vaughnspringtraining @VaughnElemFISD @angelaatkagan

Students are observing the life cycle of a beetle! We have mealworms, pupas, and beetles! #vaughnspringtraining @VaughnElemFISD

It is always a treat to program BeeBots to follow student-created Food Webs! #vaughnspringtraining @VaughnElemFISD

New math terminology appears on the board each week to pre-teach vocabulary! #vaughnspringtraining @VaughnElemFISD

New Math Goals are posted! Students are gearing up for STAAR, making purposeful goals to refine their skills. @VaughnElemFISD #vaughnspringtraining
