Throwback to Trimester 3 when @HuffordD86 students tested new cordless microscopes, enjoying the ability to learn from anywhere. We are excited to see them explore and learn more starting in a few weeks!

Good luck to our @GompersD86 and @DirksenD86 students competing in the State Science Fair today @MillikinU! We are so proud of you! #D86Curriculum

TODAY IS THE DAY! Come see our Robotics Teams compete today at 5pm @HuffordD86!

Save the date for our 2024 Robotics Competition! Friday April 12th, 2024 @ Hufford Junior High

We are extremely proud of our Junior High Science Fair participants! They did such an amazing job that we ran out of Gold stickers! Thank you to all of our visitors who participated at our demonstration tables. We can’t wait to see you again next year! @JolietSD86 – at Joliet, IL

Ms. Lancman and Ms. Alvarado @SandburgD86 were just as excited as their 4th grade students to explore the pig’s heart. Their students loved seeing their teachers’ excitement and curiosity match their own. #D86Curriculum

@ThigpenD86 4th Grade teachers did a phenomenal job immersing their students in the dissection process. They took the idea to “heart” (pun intended) and showed the connection between ELA and Science through use of The Circulatory Story. #D86Curriculum

More Fermilab exploration for 7th Grade Science students @WashingtonD86. #D86Curriculum – at Batavia, IL

Ms. Kehoe’s 7th Grade Science students @WashingtonD86 are exploring the woodlands at Fermilab as part of their weather unit. #D86Curriculum – at Batavia, IL

Our “See What Others Don’t With a Microscope” PD was a success! They found living organisms in pond water and viewed prepared slides as well as their own hair! Elementary teachers are excited to show their students all the things they can view up close. #D86Curriculum

Our JH #Robotics Coaches explored our new mBot robots. They are excited to show their students all of their programmable features to prepare them for our Spring competition. #D86Curriculum @GompersD86 @HuffordD86

Science + ELA = An amazing experience for 4th Grade @EisenhowerD86 students when they explored a sheep’s heart after reading The Circulatory Story. #D86Curriculum – at Rockdale, IL

4th Grade @WoodlandD86 students observing a sheep’s heart, and comparing it to a deer’s heart, after reading The Circulatory Story. #D86Curriculum

Circuit challenge in Mr. Rummel’s science class @GompersD86. Students were provided kits and tasked with building it to make a noise, fly or move. Enjoyed watching them work together to problem solve when it did not work right away. #D86Curriculum – at Joliet, IL

Our first Dissection Tutorial Summer PD was a success! Thank you to our teachers who participated and learned how to demonstrate a successful dissection for their students. #D86Curriculum @JolietSD86

Learning can be messy, but dissections mean exploring and gaining new experiences in Mr. Gerrity’s 8th Grade class @HuffordD86. #D86Curriculum

Congratulations @ArtsD86 on a successful Art Show! We have AMAZING talent @JolietSD86!! #D86Curriculum
