Last week of school, 3rd grade Science & review skills "camping" centers in tents. Geode Crack-a-tron for geology exploration center. Observe, predict, explore, reflect on new observations. The Crackatron is a plumbing pipe cutter I mounted for the kids to do the crack.
@01rkive Ah, the truth behind the "pot of gold at the end of a ๐ " myth is finally uncovered! The gold is actually a person with a golden heart for caring for others and weaving golden words! Truly a far superior treasure to be found than any metal ๐!
@NBCOlympicsHelp LOVE online live feeds, BUT sound mixer needs to lower field cameras' audio levels, raise commentator audio (especially for women's triathlon). Cam audio from motorcycle, helicopter, & on-location announcer music/hype drowning out commentators.
We believe that technology should enrich peopleโs lives and AI can extend the boundaries of what is humanly possible. StorySign links with traditional books so itโs encouraging deaf children to sign and read.

@julierwright I give students a choice to use a pic of their work when sharing in videos for online learning. Don't have to be on camera, I just need to hear their voice. Best to see faces on Zoom, but anxious student can set pic for vid tile, use reaction hand raise OFTEN. Build up courage.
My Canvas digital learning site's headers & buttons are ready for the year. Just need IT to let me know when I can swap these in for the Sandbox ones I had done, and then time to get lessons ready.
We should line our Science board with a border of female scientists. Kids always know men are scientists, but we need to SHOW them awesome scientists who happen to be female.
What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat.
Two simple demos:
First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.
YES!! We HAVE to take action to stop this pandemic from going on for years. All he had to do was follow directions. If my 6 year old students can wear a mask and go to school, you can don a mask and follow state directions for your business.
The Hernandez Hideaway restaurant in Escondido was closed by the county Thursday in response to the owner's alleged refusal to comply with the Public Health Order, and the owner was not happy when deputies arrived to shut it down. https://t.co/RhOe8ijdyx
Amazing mom has been making me face masks since closure, and this is 1st clear panel mask. It's GREAT! Tight fit, breathes well (20 min. talk so far). Fogs on exhales, BUT: 1)Can still see mouth. 2) Inhale takes fog away. Adding filters & testing anti-foggers next. #supermom
Spent about a week piloting Canvas and Schoology to represent K-2 for our Tech Committee's recommendation to opening committee. From teacher to website designer/builder.
School may be out, but the tech committee is working hard to prepare for the new world of teaching for the new school year. Just one of the many program comparisons we've been working hard on. Some people think teachers have 2 months of vacation, but boy are they wrong.
Many educators are trying to meet this moment. Others are looking for a better understanding of racism and antiracism. This collection has many resources that can help educators plan conversations with young peopleโand learn more themselves.

My fabulous firsties are now 2nd graders. I'm so proud of them, but also so sad to see them leave me! :( I'm keeping our Seesaw up with a few summer activities links, including how to write a letter to me and some outside of school art Zooms.
The last day of school is a Camping Day, with 3 tents of learning activities, s'more snacks in front of a campfire, and a memory slideshow while we party. This year we had to go digital, so students created forts and we Zoom camped our party. #makeitwork#DistanceLearning2020
