I want to create a world in which students not only want to learn, but they have fun and are passionate about it while they do 🍎📚 Mission Valley Elementary 🦅

It’s career day at Mission Valley today. It’s never too early for our scholars to conquer their career paths #conquerors #missionvalley #careerday #swat #army #txdot

My students had a great time exploring the ways in which glaciers create U-Shaped valleys and the ways in which water acts as an agent of change in creating landforms.

My scholars collaborated with each other to discuss the similarities and differences between two texts. They used structured conversations to discuss the reasons why they believed their answers were correct and looked for text evidence.

My students loved participating in the Lead4ward “who am I?” activity to wrap up our Drama unit. #lead4ward #MVE #conquerors

I completely forgot to post my little conquerors experimenting with friction and pulls. They participated in a lab where they measured the amount of force required to move objects on different surfaces.

[Yasmin Rocha @Rocha_MVE]

This morning, my scholars investigated forces, and how friction can affect the velocity and distance of a force. #ScienceMatters #conquerors

[Yasmin Rocha @Rocha_MVE]

My students conquered plural nouns today by engaging in a scoot activity. It was a fun and engaging way to get their bodies and brains moving on a Friday! #togetherweconquer #conquerors #yisd #nouns

[Yasmin Rocha @Rocha_MVE]

My students engaged in changing the physical properties of slime. They were able to change the texture, color, and magnetism. #weconquer #conquerors #yisd #THEDISTRICT

[Yasmin Rocha @Rocha_MVE]

Today my scholars were able to engage in a density lab to observe how mixtures of liquids interact with other liquids.

Today we had our STAAR pep rally, to pump up our kids for their Reading STAAR test tomorrow. These kids have worked so hard all year long, and now they have the opportunity to show all that they’ve learned. They’re going to ROCK THIS STAAR!! #ConquerorsLeadTheWay

After evaluating the ECR rubric, students are now using their understanding of how responses are scored to conduct a gallery walk where they read and score sample writings.

[Yasmin Rocha @Rocha_MVE]

Today my scholars were working on sorting and evaluating the ECR rubric based on key words and ideas present in their writing. They had to determine which criteria corresponded with the appropriate score. #conquerers

[Yasmin Rocha @Rocha_MVE]

My scholars participated in an informational passage gallery walk to annotate things they noticed about the articles as an introduction to our informational unit. #conquerorsInquire

[Yasmin Rocha @Rocha_MVE]

Today we were supposed to wear a beanie, scarf and gloves 🧤 #DecemberDaysOfHolidayCheer

Our literacy STEM night has so many wonderful book related projects! 🤩. Our 4th grade scholars built boats to help the scorpion from Coyote and the Scorpion fable to get across the stream, and they came out to present their wonderful designs ⛵️@MissionValleyES #WeCONQUER

My little superstar was awarded the istation super hero cape for doing a phenomenal job in iStation this past month #proud

[Yasmin Rocha @Rocha_MVE]

I also forgot to post this, but my students did an amazing job with their Storybook Pumpkin Project. The kiddos were very dedicated and creative with this project 🥳🤩 #WeConquer

[Yasmin Rocha @Rocha_MVE]

My scholars were working on some collaborative learning through inquiry for math. Great way to get the kid’s moving, thinking and communicating mathematical ideas 💡 #WeConquer
