Over 160+ students came to algebra 1 STAAR tutoring @IrvingHigh . Thank you to all the teachers and administrators who had planned and made this possible for our students! @iInstructIrving
So happy to see students engaged in STAAR Tutoring. Yes! STAAR Tutoring after school! Students working in groups taking turn being the writer, speaker, and the “calculator” @IrvingBowie_MS . Thank you for inviting me to see it in action Ms. Olvera! @IrvingISD@iInstructIrving
More building thinking classroom strategies happening in Ms. Davis’s class @IrvingBowie_MS Love seeing students be engaged and taking turns in thinking out loud and problem solving! @IrvingISD@iInstructIrving
Great explore activity in the curriculum from #stemscopes. Allowing students to explore transformations by connecting to the algebraic notation to the visual model helps students to understand what it means to rotate, reflect, and shift ordered pairs. @iInstructIrving#HQIM
Who says stations are only in elementary school? Mr. Carpentier is trying stations for the first time and students are engaged in working through different tasks while also getting small group instruction time! @deZavalaMS@iInstructIrving
