5th grade GT students @IndependenceES participated in a real world design challenge before the winter break. Each student designed an airplane that could double as a money holder for a gift. Check out our winning designs! #lisdgt
Thanks for a grant from @LEFforLISD 5th grade GT learners @IndependenceES used Tinkercad to create a 3D representation of their “brand.” So excited to see the final products come to life. @LISD_GT
1st grades @IndependenceES learned about density and buoyancy in Think Lab. They designed boats for the holiday octopus for a holiday boat parade. Loved seeing their amazing creative thinking! @LISD_GT
I was most impressed with these @IndependenceES 1st graders. They had the idea to put air in their baggie and put it on the bottom of the board to ensure that it could float. Amazing thinking! @LISD_GT
@IndependenceES 1st graders learned about density and buoyancy in Think Lab. Students used recyclable materials to create a boat to support the “holiday octopus” in a holiday parade. Check out some of the amazing solutions! @LISD_GT
The final challenge- use the Keva blocks and your creativity to create something related to winter. Amazing thinking from @IndependenceES Kindergartners. @LISD_GT
Kindergarten Think Lab @IndependenceES. Students work in groups to create snowflakes using Keva blocks. As they work, students learn about symmetry. @LISD_GT

GT classes @IndependenceES competed in a bone bridge building contest to see which could hold the most pumpkins. Class winners: 3rd grade (40 pumpkins), 5th grade (55 pumpkins). Our overall winner-4th grade with 61 pumpkins.@LISD_GT
2nd grade Think Lab @IndependenceES this week. We created the tallest tower possible that could support a mini pumpkin. Congratulations to the group in Mrs. Harper’s class whose tower measured 15 inches tall (without the pumpkin!) @lisdgt
GT students have been studying graphic design and all the thinking that goes into creating a brand. We had a competition to design a logo and slogan for @IndependenceES GT. Check out the winning design! My favorite part- the tiny eagles! @LISD_GT
Amazing design from @IndependenceES 5th graders in ThinkLab! Can’t wait to see all the amazing things they will create in their Thinkerspace this year.
Using Thinklab @IndependenceES to help 5th teachers establish Thinkerspace (Makerspace with a focus on the thinking skills) routines in their classrooms. So excited to watch this project develop.
Join us tonight for Teacher Appreciation Night as our Senior athletes recognize their most influential teacher. Lady Jags kick off the action at 5:30 against Hebron! #GoJAGS#JagWaterPolo#FMHSPolo 💙🤽🐆💙
