We’re archeologists! We’re studying tribes from around Texas and learning about what archeologists do. We’re mini archeologists! #GCISDHumanities #studenttweet

Not only did we kick off our Kids Heart Challenge this morning, but we spent the afternoon diving deeper into the health science field with the help of some wonderful high schoolers! What great learning experiences ! #WeAreGCISD @CESCowboys

4th graders did a great job presenting their research about extreme weather! Each presentation was unique and showed a deep level of understanding about their subject! Way to go, Cowboys! #WeAreCESCowboys #GCISDHumanities @CESCowboys

As we plan out our informational books, we are choosing whether to organize in a chronological or categorical order. The planning process is in full swing! @CESCowboys #WeAreCESCowboys #GCISDHumanities

It’s always so wonderful to see all of our hard work coming together! After weeks of digging in and researching extreme weather, we’re putting it all together for our final products that we will use to teach each other! @CESCowboys #GCISDHumanities #WeAreCESCowboys

[Catherine Auker @CESAukerCrew]

Today we moved from just gathering facts about our extreme weather focus to synthesizing our research through our thoughts in writing and sketching. #WeAreCESCowboys #GCISDHumanities @CESCowboys

What is safe to share and what is private? Thanks @CESReads_Keller for taking us through different examples and scenarios to help us be safe online! @CESCowboys #WeAreCESCowboys

Who knew that you could learn a life lesson using pipe cleaners? What a great lesson of perseverance and grit! Thanks for leading us @CesKsegreti! This is definitely an an experience that we can continue to connect with as we grow! @CESCowboys #WeAreCESCowboys

Students grappled with their new spelling words through an open sort. I love the conversations they shared as they tried to figure out how these words were grouped. We have such a group of creative thinkers! @CESCowboys #WeAreCESCowboys #GCISDHumanities

We love listening to read aloud a from @CESReads_Keller! We read another wonderful Bluebonnet book and got to add our names to the Bluebonnet books we have read! @CESCowboys #WeAreCESCowboys

[Catherine Auker @CESAukerCrew]

We are having a wonderful time at the Coding Playground today with @CESReads_Keller! Thanks for proving us great opportunities to explore! #WeAreCESCowboys #hocgcisd

The only thing better than teaching history is when students go deeper into their learning by researching and creating to teach the class! Today we learned more about the Caddo, their houses, and how they used natural resources in their daily lives! #WeAreCESCowboys @CESCowboys

[Catherine Auker @CESAukerCrew]

Thank you @BullockMuseum for the wonderful learning experience! We learned so much about the Karankawa, conquistadors, and how how their lives changed after they met! @CESCowboys #GCISDHumanities

[Catherine Auker @CESAukerCrew]

I love how these writers are setting up their area for success! Keeping our resources within reach helps us in our writing journey! @CESCowboys #WeAreCESCowboys #GCISDHumanities

Team building, ropes course, and zip line, oh my! 4th grade had a blast at Camp Thurman! @CESCowboys

[Catherine Auker @CESAukerCrew]

Sometimes when you read a book, you may feel differently than a peer about a character and their intentions. This led to a great debate we grounded in evidence from the book! The conversations were phenomenal! @CESCowboys #WeAreCESCowboys #GCISDHumanities

[Catherine Auker @CESAukerCrew]

Spending time in the library with @CESReads_Keller is always great, but maker spaces makes it extra special! I love how these amazing kids get to explore different ways to express their creativity! @CESCowboys #WeAreCESCowboy

[Catherine Auker @CESAukerCrew]

How do you change your blah verbs to vivid verbs? Just ask us? We came up with some ways to make our verbs come alive, then added it to our own writing! @CESCowboys #WeAreCESCowboys #GCISDHumanities

[Catherine Auker @CESAukerCrew]

We always talk about “hooking” our readers with a strong lead, but today we made many connections from students who have first hand fishing experience! They made connections that went well beyond just getting your readers attention! @CESCowboys #WeAreCESCowboys #GCISDHumanities

[Catherine Auker @CESAukerCrew]

What do flash mobs and writing have in common? I love that this lesson on planning our writing turned into how they not only had to plan the idea, but flow together, and revise to make it work! Great connections are being made! @CESCowboys #WeAreCESCowboys #GCISDHumanities
