I had so much fun completing this lesson with the 4th graders in @msvirtue7 class today for the ocean unit! We saw all different shapes and sizes of phyto and zooplankton. #CLESGRT

INSPIRING presentation on animal cultures from renowned ecologist @carlsafina at Educators for Animals Conference today. After reading Becoming Wild for my humane education M.Ed program, it was an honor to hear him live. Much to learn from non-human animal lives. @ed4animalsconf

I feel so fortunate that I got to see two of my former @BrickellAcademy students in one week, & they are thriving. So proud of them & the paths they are on in life! This is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching. I did seem shorter to them then they remembered from 7th. 😂
