Sully on stuttering and bullies. Great piece: "A speech disorder is a lot easier to treat than a character defect."

Merry Christmas from Nature!

Have a holly, jolly... Christmas tree worm?

These worms are super festive. Christmas tree worms are burrowing worms that live inside corals. Their "tree-branches" are actually feather-like tentacles! https://t.co/TGIYpTnxrW

This octopus enjoys a nice walk on the sand!

"Children who get their hands “dirty” in the garden, will not think of the dirt, but of the soil and the experience of being involved in hands-on work. Dirt washes off, yet the experience rarely fades..." https://t.co/hOw0YghbfG @ChildrenNature @persiluk #dirtisgood #playmatters

Outdoor learning has huge benefits for children and teachers — so why isn't it used in more schools? https://t.co/Dmr75asrM8

The Bell Museum is amazing! Check out their outreach educators as well.

[Jill Jensen☮️ @JillJensenIDEAS]

Not only did I get an up close and personal tour of the amazing collections @BellMuseum, but learned teachers can get specimens on loan! What?! I'll be submitting my request today !https://t.co/02sIP9n44t #Science

G4 Ss are very engaged with answering their questions about rattlesnakes with a Rattlesnake kit from the DNR! @rvesnews #rattlesnakeinquiry

4th grade Ss at RVES learned to identify several birds and recognize their calls. Then we went birding in the woods!

What do you do when your principal brings you a frog she found on her window? Introduce it to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade Ss, ask lots of questions, and find some answers!
