Not everyday has to be an info overload or a full blown expirement. Some days it’s a simple activity on a single concept, and we get to have fun 🤩 @AragonWildcats @CFISDScience #CFISDspirit #unbalancedforces #myWHY

Ping Pong Maze was so fun today! We got to make our own maze and then see if we could control the ball with just our breath. It was more difficult than we thought bc of unbalanced forces!

Learning thermal equilibrium saw us enjoy lemonade and labs 🍋 @AragonWildcats #6thgradescience

If you heard screaming coming from my classroom, it’s because we were having fun 🤪 @AragonWildcats #flamingflowers #cfisdscience #6thgradescience

Had a discussion about drugs in advisory that ended in tears - first me (🤷🏼‍♀️) and then them. They were so brave telling their stories and I hope they know my class is a safe space for them. We ended class in a group hug and me telling them how much I love them ❤️

We had a BLAST today doing Chemistry in a Bag! Their reactions to reactions was amazing! @AragonWildcats #cfisdscience #6thgradescience

Detectives had to match the densities of the suspects samples with evidence left behind to find the criminal - bc densities of substances don’t change despite changes in size or shape @AragonWildcats #6thgradescience

“Ms. Harbstreit, we’re making these notes to give to people to make them feel better” Me: “That’s so awesome and nice of you!” - Then I walk out to find one outside my room, and it definitely made me feel better ❤️ @AragonWildcats #6thgradescience

[Alexis (Lexie) Harbstreit @AHarbstreit]

Tests may not be fun, but reviewing can be! I created a kahoot specific to the Matter 1 test & the student engagement was amazing & all showed great sportsmanship! 😁💜 @AragonWildcats #6thgradescience

[Alexis (Lexie) Harbstreit @AHarbstreit]

Looks like my students are “bonding” together! They’ve got the right idea! More student work to hang around the room! 😁 @AragonWildcats #6thgradescience

[Alexis (Lexie) Harbstreit @AHarbstreit]

Gotta love a lab where you can drop stuff! Is this piece of carbon malleable or brittle? A metal or nonmetal? @AragonWildcats #6thgradescience

Dear parents,

Stop telling your kids that if somebody hits them, they should hit them back. It promotes a never-ending cycle of revenge, and *actually* increases their chances of harm.

Protection and payback ain’t the same.

Signed,
Teachers

@AstridNovak @FranconeElem @CFISDScience @CyFairMMartin @LRussellCFISD Those are some great kids you have there!
