Continuing our βοΈ Review with an Era Brain Dump. Students listed everything they remembered, illustrated it, and created hashtags for each. They participated in multiple rounds adding as we rotated around the room. @HumbleISD_TMS@tms_stem@humble_SocSt
Great group of students and a great field trip to the NASA Longhorn Project! We got to see Longhorns, π , beautiful gardens, plants and animal cells under a π¬ , and π . We ended the day playing and hanging out with friends before the rain. @HumbleISD_TMS@tms_stem

A glimpse into our review activities: 4 corners, impromptu debates, stations, and "Guys, Mrs. Scholl is taking pictures of us again" π Just too proud of the conversations these scholars have every day in RELA and how much deeper they are able to discuss! @HumbleISD_TMS@tms_stem
Thank you, @LoneStarFlight for engaging our 8th grade STEM students in meaningful and hands-on activities today! We designed airplanes, checked our hangars, heard amazing stories, and learned a ton! #justplanefun@HumbleISD_TMS
Another successful STEM Academy Field Trip in the books! 8th Grade had a blast learning the history and engineering behind these awesome planes, as well as the science of flight. The whole tour was a hit! π«ππΊπΈβοΈ #lonestarflightmuseum#futureaviators@HumbleISD_TMS@tms_stem
@humble_SocSt History, Science, Engineering, Art, & Math all wrapped up in the story of Daisy Thorne Gilbert & the storm of 1900. even a connection to Empresario Stephen F. Austin⦠connecting the past to todays world. Well done! @tms_stem@HumbleISD_TMS thank you @hurricanehal_
7th Grade STEM in Galveston today with @Hal_Needham on our hurricane history and preparedness tour! Really excited to see how our STEM teachers connect their content to this tangible experience, where history meets science and human ingenuity ππ¨οΈπ§ βοΈ @HumbleISD_TMS@mswhite_TMS
7th grade STEM had an AMAZING time on our Galveston Tour with @hurricanehal_! It was cool to explore different parts of the island and learn about hurricanes, the sea wall, and different historical sites! @HumbleISD_TMS

@tms_stem 8th graders getting feedback on their individual phobia research projects before presentations tomorrow! @HumbleISD_TMS Come see how they incorporated STEM into their RELA research during 3rd, 4th, and 6th periods! #TMSacademicdiscussion
This is an example of a letter sent by a teacher to families to inform them about a project. It explains what PBL is, details the project, addresses assessment issues, and tells parents about how they can be involved.

These girls analyzed problems in our legal system, researched the process to create a law, and developed a draft of their law to fix their problem! #TMSPBL@tms_stem@HumbleISD_TMS
