@MsLorisStory I printed these business cards to hand out to students who are having a rough day - think I should start handing them out to teachers, too. ❤

@philiplbell Sidenote - I already had a student padlet in place with STEM ideas for home-based learning. Fun activities & place for students to engage with me & each other about their learning experiences at home. 2/2

[Lynn M. Jeka @LMJeka]

@philiplbell It was a great session! I am in the process of creating a "Parent Padlet" that will share info, ideas, encouragement, and - hopefully! - open a dialogue between the school & parents so I can learn how we might better support them. 1/2

[Lynn M. Jeka @LMJeka]

Really looking forward to all they have to offer!

@NGSS_tweeps @meganthrom ... for the youngest students. I actually had a second grade girl say to me, "That's cool that you are a real scientist - I didn't think girls could be scientists!" She became one of my best students after that conversation!!

@NGSS_tweeps @meganthrom I never had students in lab coats - no money for that - but I wore one every day as an elementary science specialist for the simple reason that science is messy and I needed to protect my clothes. But, there is a lot of power in seeing a woman in a lab coat, particularly...

@philiplbell Currently reading this book and loving every single page! It is really helping me understand the indigenous perspectives my students bring to my classroom.

@rita_wida @WIDAConsortium Guess I should have scrolled further - saw your post on the book.

@rita_wida @WIDAConsortium Have you read Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer? It is a beautifully written book comparing indigenous ways with scientific knowledge - reading it right now and loving every page!
