@Austin_Police I taught Adam several years ago. What a good kid. I’m thinking positive thoughts and hoping he will be found and reunited with his family soon.

What a lesson! Ms. Cotten uses her harpist skills to teach our 5th grade Dillos about sound waves. We have a lot of talent at Hill School! #dillobest #aisdgottalent

What a fun day filled with outdoor learning and exploration! #hilldillos

It was fun celebrating our impact and growth as educators as well as life-long learners at the #LPTech event at #GoogleFiber tonight! Dr. Cruz and our fearless Hill leader @JackDrummond21 even paid a visit to hear our stories! #AISDproud #AISDinnovates #hilldillos @AISDSupt

Dillo Details highlighted the work we are doing in our Water Bear Club! Check it out: https://t.co/iZe0m3VS4u

Also pictured in the collage- students I taught in Panama this past summer who conducted similar research

I’m so proud of these kiddos! They are making real scientific discoveries at such a young age! It is so fun making connections with scientists at the #texasacademyofscience where I presented a poster on their findings and our scientific process. #hilldillos #aisdproud #tas #stem

I couldn’t contain myself at these falls! I didn’t have my swim suit but that didn’t keep me from taking a dip...in my clothes! I’m now headed off to the next part of my travels with Fund for Teachers...Hawaii!#rainforesthopping #allaboutwaterfalls #tardigradeseverywhere

Check out this camouflaged octopus... and eels, coral, box fish, sea turtle, lobster, puffer fish...Just a few highlights from Coiba Island, Panama. Scuba diving is a fantastic way to learn about and experience our biodiverse world. #fft #fundforteachers #aisdproud #hilldillos

We found a tardigrade! Check out these awesome future scientists learning how to use microscopes and searching for tardigrades, rotifers and nematodes. #microanimals #scienceiscool #panama #fft #fundforteachers #aisdproud #hilldillos #omaschool #outreacheducation #payitforward

The best part about traveling and learning with Fund for Teachers is the number of incredible experiences along the way. The people and animals I have met have changed my life for the better! #slothencounter #fft #fundforteachers #panama #aisdproud #hilldillos

[Mrs. Cotten @HannahCotten1]

@ChannelOneNews Why?! This is soooooo sad! My students and I love your program! We watched it every day!

[Mrs. Cotten @HannahCotten1]

Outreach in Panama: teaching about microscopic life. We searched for tardigrades & had so much fun collecting moss, looking through scopes and exploring our world! #fft #fundforteachers #scienceoutreach #aisdproud #hilldillos #tardigrades #waterbears #microanimals #teachingpower

More photos from my awesome week @JASONLearning I made some great connections with phenomenal educators!!! #JNC2018

[Mrs. Cotten @HannahCotten1]

@djpb13 @JASONLearning Girl- I loved meeting you and can’t wait for our students to connect and collaborate! #buildingconnections #nationalfriends #cometogether #teachersarethebest #JNC2018

[Mrs. Cotten @HannahCotten1]

I was in awe as we learned about standards of measurement tools from great minds at NIST. Scientists like Daniel Sawyer are not only making contributions towards the advancement of science but also bridging the gap between the scientific community and public. #NIST #JNC2018 #aisd https://t.co/cPXrU90ZLu

Great hosting science teachers from @JASONLearning on our Gaithersburg campus today!

[Mrs. Cotten @HannahCotten1]

What fabulous photos of the wind taking over and the America flag ingulfing Heather. It’s like she’s wrapped in a flag taco. Total chaos. Love it. Watch the progression from frustration about wind blown hair, to Heather’s disappearing act. #JNC2018 #jasonlearning

[Mrs. Cotten @HannahCotten1]

What a night aboard the Spirit of Washington along the Potomac River with fabulous educators and scientists in the JASON community. #JNC2018 #jasonlearning @SpinnerHeather

[Mrs. Cotten @HannahCotten1]

What a joy to bring science to the classrooms of indigenous Panama. Watching these future scientists look through a microscope for the first time was such a beautiful experience.Their eyes have been opened and they are now hooked on science! #fft #hilldillos #aisdproud #fftfellow

[Mrs. Cotten @HannahCotten1]

As a Fund for Teachers Travel Grant Fellow, I will first learn how to conduct biodiversity surveys from Dr. Miller. Then I will pay it forward through outreach education in Panama as well as collect samples and conduct research in the rainforests of Panama, Costa Rica and Hawaii.
