team·work noun \ˈtēm-wərk\- the
combined action of a group of people, especially when effective and efficient.
During
extended planning, the fourth grade team was wanting to find something that
truly highlighted the integration of science, math and social studies for their
Family STEM Night focus. That conversation lead to "soil elements, capacity
and clay making" that served a purpose for Native Americans. At a spur of
the moment request, we asked Deborah to come into their planning meeting during
her conference time. She DELAYED her team meeting to help out fourth grade and
is now planning to co-teach pottery to accommodate their idea. She has art TEKS
she is able to incorporate, as well as supporting 4th grade TEKS.
