Thanks to all who came to the C&I Materials Roadshow! It was great to chat about the exciting things happening in #IrvingISD next year. We'll be at A.S. Johnston Elementary School next week. Stop by to see the new science, math, and RLA materials. Irving ISD C&I #IISDReimagined

So much fun! Love to see our students observing, reading, and writing in science. Critters give students concrete experiences to build on! #handsonscience #irvingisd #ants #3dlearning

So lucky to get to spend the eclipse with A.S. Johnston Elementary School! Loved hearing students and teachers talk about what was happening as we experienced this amazing phenomenon together. #scienceisfun #irvingisd

Love to hear how students are growing as readers. A strong foundation is so important for our youngest learners! #irvingisd

Check out the new 'classmates' in Todd Smith's classroom. So much to learn with critters in the classroom. #scienceisfun #irvingisd

It's critter season in #irvingisd . All elementary campuses are observing life cycles, exploring interdependency, and learning about animal structures and functions. Catalina Vargas, what a great idea to borrow from other classrooms! Love the creative thinking!

Yes, a great read. This stood out to me as a science educator. Great science teaching involves both--time to explore and explain.

What a great experience for students! So exciting to see the unique ways our schools build knowledge and provide concrete science experiences. #irvingisd #science #phenomena

Be HERD Barton Elementary! #irvingisd

Messy science is the best science! Plants are so much fun to learn about. Can't wait to see those seeds sprout!

What a great open house and science night Elliott Elementary School! Special shout out to the Nimitz High School science club and Ms. Mendez. They went all out with hands on activities to get kids excited about science! Microscopes, slime, fossils, pipettes and pennies. So many smiles!

Great read about new meta-analysis regarding phonemic awareness. My favorite quote, 'More importantly, the science of reading is the same as any other scientific inquiry. Every new answer may also raise new questions...' kqed.org/mindshift/6324…

Such a cool way to explore shadows and how they change throughout the day.

This is how you explore the water cycle! Love to see students practicing vocabulary and learning together.

EcoColumns help us explore interdependence and so much more! Thank you, Catalina Vargas , for making science come alive for students.

It's EcoColumn season. Time to explore ecosystem interactions, adaptations, food webs, and more!

Congrats Mrs. Covarrubias!

Our T1 strategy of the day was on academic conversations, so of course started with a scientific debate about the Chicago Rat Hole! #academicconversation #sciencetalk #phenomena

We learn best from each other! Mini-edcamps give us time to swap ideas and find solutions to the challenges we face. Today we talked about spiral review and how to make word walls work.
