6th grade @VIDASHARKS wrapping up the 2023-2024 school year with a glow party!!! Lots of hugs and chatting!! Have a safe and relaxing summer! Good luck next year!!
How do you keep 6th grade @VIDASHARKS math students engaged when there’s only 5 school days left??? You have a treat walk!!! Just like a cake walk, but with math problems! Every kid worked for a chance to “win”… but everyone won in the end with a treat too!
After 10 years at the Olive Ave. property, I celebrated our last #DesignExpo with @VIDASHARKS ! What a great evening!! Looking forward to what becomes of our Expo at our new location next year!
Putting all our hard work to the TEST starting next as @VIDASHARKS prepare for state testing! Door decorations to motivate students to do their best!!!
Saying goodbye isn’t easy, but 6th grade @VIDASHARKS make it look easy with their #canva postcards!! Taking photos and memories and making mementos of our time on the campus as we prepare for the relocation to a new site! #designthinking #weareVIDA #makingmemories
@VIDASHARKS are CREATIVE and bridging design rotation skills into their daily lives. Check out these Stanley cups made from scored cardboard! I asked where they learned to do this, and they said “From @mrssnyder007 ‘s 6th grade Design Studio rotation”!!!!
6th grade @VIDASHARKS applying the Dimensions of Product Design to design thinking by #Pitching their innovated paper helicopters by filming 30-second commercials. Using #communication skills in content classes to show #value.
I asked my @VIDASHARKS students to tell me “what do you need/want in a math/science teacher?” Going through the 150+ post it notes with their needs to make the yearly word cloud, I came across this…my favorite need EVER!! This will be my new hashtag! #NoVIDASharkSwimsAlone
Gotta love it when @VIDASHARKS Alumni come back to help with an activity they remember from 6th grade…. Ice cream in a bag !! #VIDAAlumni #WilmingtonCollege #Pacific_Coast_Customs
It’s time for the annual 6th grade @VIDASHARKS Ice Cream in a Bag day!!! So much fun tying math and science into a fun end of the year activity!!! @CRLudwig @hayleywhitevida @Maglio_Sharks
7 classes of 6th grade @VIDASHARKS finished their iStudio identity “cube” mobiles, and they went on display at the 10th Annual Design Expo!!
Prep for the @VIDASHARKS annual Design Expo takes months. The last few weeks are intense! From logistics to signage… we try to covering all!! @kbowenvida
6th grade @VIDASHARKS knocked this cake outta the park! Each layer represents an integral part of what makes us VIDA! The people are the foundation and Shredder our mascot at the top! This truly is an AMAZING PLACE!! @bwilliamsvida
6th grade @VIDASHARKS having great success with the 4th quarter iStudio project - Identity “Cube” Mobiles. Taking time to reflect inwardly while learning a little about color and balance! #sparkingcreativity #dimensionsofproductdesign
Lots of progress and successes with the identity “cube” project today. 6th grade @VIDASHARKS started connecting their cubes with others to make a mobile. More pics after spring break!!
6th grade @VIDASHARKS really getting into it…identity “cubes” coming along! Can’t wait to see what they have tomorrow!!
4th qtr in the iStudio has 6th grade @VIDASHARKS thinking about their identities. After choosing a shape, they add their name, a talent, a goal, & something they’re thankful for, then apply color theory to create an identity “cube” to be made into a mobile on Friday! Stay tuned!
This is what it looks like during a 6th grade @VIDASHARKS design challenge… and this is at the end of day 2! Working with @bwilliamsvida class to create a 2 m tall cake to celebrate the 10 years of VIDA! Can’t wait to see what it looks like at the end of day 3!
This group really upped their game! @bwilliamsvida students developed a vision and ran with it! They even brought materials from home to add more detail! Watch for the VIDAville display at our Design Expo in May!!
More final products from iStudio with @mrssnyder007 6th graders really showed off their skills and design ability with these!
This week our #designlab is working in the iStudio to work on the dimensions of design and precision. 6th graders are working on a VIDAVille and I’m so excited to see their ideations come to life! @VIDASHARKS @mrssnyder007
