I teach world changers, critical thinkers, inquisitive learners, and tomorrow's leaders. I teach third grade.

Darth Vader @masimustangs made an appearance today for the beginning of our “Where We Are In Place And Time” unit to convince our students NOT to take care of our planet! They weren’t convinced. #ib #storyofmason

King George and a colonist stopped by Mrs. Masi’s class to discuss different perspectives about the founding of our nation. #Storyofmason #declarationofindependence #historyisfun

There are multiplication facts in those eggs! What a fun way to practice our multiplication facts- with an egg hunt. I called out the answer, and they hunted for the problem. #storyofmason #mathisfun

We went global! We started small and worked our way out! We fed the homeless and served the local retirement community, and raised awareness for global causes (even more plans coming next week). Students see that they CAN make a change... and it feels GOOD! #storyofmason

We know that societal issues launch change, so my class created bags of food to keep in their vehicles to distribute to those in need. They are SO excited to be able to make a positive change in the community! #WeCareALot #storyofmason #FeedTheNeedy

Mrs. Masi’s Mustangs seem to have a grip on technical vocabulary. Perhaps I have a few future entrepreneurs in here??? #storyofmason #smartkids #technicalvocabulary #entrepreneurs

[Vanessa Masiakowski @masimustangs]

Mobiles, and Models, and Posters... oh my!!! Mrs. Masi’s Mustangs created some space projects that are “out of this world!” I loved seeing their projects this week and they loved their project “show and tell.” My class is amazing! #storyofmason #scienceissomuchfun

[Vanessa Masiakowski @masimustangs]

Masi’s Mustangs are learning about societal issues like homelessness. @Habitat_org - we admire the work you do! We created our own Habitat for Humanity projects to educate others about the good work you do! #storyofmason #1lisd #societalissues

[Vanessa Masiakowski @masimustangs]

Masi’s Mustangs are training other classes on how to properly wash hands in order to stay healthy. Raising awareness and communicating what we know is how we are launching change. #storyofmason #washyourhands #dontspreadgerms

[Vanessa Masiakowski @masimustangs]

Today’s social studies lesson about the founding fathers and our Constitution is brought to you by... King George! My class feels passionate about defending our country. No taxation without representation, King George! #storyofmason #foundingfathers #declarationofindependence
