Glow Day was exhausting, but worth it! We learned about repeated addition when some spiders escaped from a haunted house. We learned about teamwork to solve how many legs escaped with this Building Thinking Classrooms task. #itsaslaughterthing #mymisd #BuildingThinkingClassrooms

These engineers researched, planned, and built structures to withstand a typhoon (or a box fan)! They learned that failure is an important part of the engineering process and that marshmallows are delicious! #itsaslaughterthing #WeAreMckinney #MckinneyScience

We're off to a great start at Slaughter! We're seeing community circles, morning meetings, locker talks, and classes learning how to walk in the halls. Kids are getting to know their new teachers and classmates. It's going to be a great year! #teammckinney #slaughterwolfpack
