Cannon Elementary School

Kindergarten scholars explored attributes of shapes by studying vehicle shapes and building their own vehicles!

First Grade scholars completed lab and field investigations to better understand properties of soil.

Second grade scholars studied famous inventors and then presented their work with green screen presentations.

Third grade scholars worked with Grapevine soil experts to complete field investigations about the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition.

Fourth grade scholars completed a book study on the City of Ember. Then they dissected the engineering components tied to character survival and completed parallel design challenges.

Fifth grade scholars studied elements of the Underground Railroad. They used their learning to design safe house symbols with a cad program and completed them with our vinyl cutter and heat press.

National Engineers Week at Cannon Elementary

Our Cubs had wonderful opportunities to learn from interesting experts in STEM professions, including Lockheed Martin, Bell Helicopter, Dallas Makers, Extreme Reach, LR Drones Technologies, Ft. Worth Museum of Science & History, Perot Museum, Huckabee Architects, GHS STEMbassadors, and MORE!! The students designed and launched stomp rockets, paper airplanes, rotated through sessions to learn about different strands of engineering, tinkered with new digital tools, explored exhibits at museums, completed engineering design challenges in their classrooms, etc... It was truly an action-packed, hands-on, minds-on week of learning! Have you asked YOUR student about their learning from last week? Click here to see some photos from eWeek 2019 @ Cannon in Kindergarten-5th grade!

Cannon Educators Travel to Texas A&M STEM Institute

As teachers at a STEM campus, we are always seeking out new opportunities for our Cannon teachers to learn more about STEM-based learning, in order to continue to grow and improve our teaching practices! The GCISD Education Foundation helped fund a trip for six of our educators to travel to Texas A&M last week to attend the #STEM4Innovation conference.

Congratulations to Joe Parthemore, 5th-grade teacher at Cannon! He was the recipient of the HEB Excellence in Education Award. He is also a state finalist for their Rising Star award. We are so proud of Mr. Parthemore and wish him the best of luck in the next round of competition! #BeCannonProud
