Embracing the power of WONDER in my #ElementaryScience classroom! My students love creating unit divider pages that celebrate curiosity and forges connection. I'm a #STEMPioneer sharing a glimpse into elementary #STEMEducation! More about the NSF grant: https://t.co/vZTrKznsnR

A peek into my classroom: Students volunteer to be classroom experts. Read how peer-to-peer teaching deepens understanding and builds confidence. 🧠✨ Check out the @edutopia article: https://t.co/dpFdL7MEJa #STEMPioneers #PeerTeaching #Education #ElementarySTEM #STEMinAction

Love this! Thinking about authentic phenomena and the inquiry path it leads students down was a big part of my lunch discussions with fellow #STEMpioneers this past week at the @TCNJSTEMCenter.

"Using the Curiosity Meter, students write and place their questions from simple and closed towards the bottom to more open and complex towards the top. The students see that their questions matter, shape the learning, and impact one another. Slowly, as the year progresses, students become more question competent, helping them take more agency over learning." —Educator @trev_mackenzie

I think I could live on corn chowder. Sweet Jersey corn is back, baby!

June is always bittersweet. Saying farewell to another school year and my happy little classroom (balanced with some much needed recharging).

So psyched my summer my PD read is on sketchnoting — I fully support more drawing. Embrace the doodle!

[edutopia @edutopia]

Draw to remember! Research shows that drawing boosts learning by forcing us to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and linguistically.

I don’t write picture books, but #PBPitch day always brings me out of Twitter hiding. I’m amazed at the creativity and ability of writers to capture the essence of their tale in a tweet. Go get ‘em! Good luck to all ❤️

Five little Juncos…maybe. Based on their current looks I might have 5 fluffy mohawk aliens to contend with.

I love to garden…but time gets away from me. It’s always nice when Mother Nature helps you out with some spring decor. I guess the winter greens can last a little longer 😉

Teachers: Read this thread!

Definitely going to show my students how a Mexican company invented leather made from cactus 🌵
(hint: it involves #STEM)

And here I was thinking how cool we were making hearts on our graphing calculators in high school. #1990s

@emmccatt What a treat! I've had the stealthy booger wipe on my skirt a few times with the littles but never a scab, wow! 😂 #teacherlife

[Regina Cherill @ChalkInMyPocket]

@SeahawksTeacher @DonorsChoose This looks like amazing fun, your students are so lucky!

[Regina Cherill @ChalkInMyPocket]

So after trying to turn my dog into a 3D cartoon and giving up (even glasses couldn't trick the #AIArtist App) I resorted to a second experiment: how many times could the filter run until it no longer recognized a face? Creepy Coraline vibes here.

Came across this pic my teenager made when she was seven. What a fun springboard in #creativewriting for literary littles! Still cracking up over the “THIS IS FAKE” alert. #ECE https://t.co/AsGSu1d7Za

@MiddleGradeHub The Penderwicks, love this series! Also beta reading two MG sci-fi novels and feel so privileged to have a sneak peek into two great novels in progress! #amreading #mgLit #WritingCommunity

THIS is why we pay taxes - for the greater good in our communities. I was so impressed with our local library’s response during Covid and thrilled to read about others: https://t.co/L5zIHyJljc
