K-5 STEM Instructor at Prairie Lake Elementary... teaching kids and teachers how to love science, be creative, build things, work together, and solve problems!
Today we did our first lab of the year… Bubble Lab! The kids used straws to blow bubbles on their desks and test the size of bubbles when using more vs. less soap in their bubble solution! @KimSeaver_OCPS@RyanCarlsonOCPS@JillAdcock_OCPS
Our current garden space is full of sandy soil, weeds, & rocks and we won't be able to do anything until we overhaul the area. Check out my classroom on @DonorsChoose! I'd love your help to bring my project to life: https://t.co/XyK7Fvteus via @donorschoose

PSA for all kindergarten
Practice eating “school lunch”. Make sure they can open it. Set a timer for 15 minutes and talk about how they may not finish eating and that’s ok. Practice packing back up and talk about what is trash and what should come back home in their lunch boxes
My car is being towed for a second time….
I’ve never dealt with so many emergencies in a week span before.
I would appreciate if anyone would buy my coloring book or even RT this. It would really help support me and my family during this time.

@sciencewithtyus I was an adjunct at two colleges. Absolutely LOVED teaching adults. At one, pay sucked but loved the subject and students so stayed a long time. Other one was a private college so pay was great but admin sucked, 5 DOEs in 4 years. Regardless, LOVED working with adult students.
It's Giveaway Time! That means FREE STUFF! We have some nice sampler packs that contain a Bristlebot and other awesome BDG supplies. We’ll choose five people who RETWEET this to get a grab bag filled with fun! 🤪 1/2
We finally have green beans ready to pick out of the school garden! It’s summer break but I messaged the kids to show them what their hard work produced! I can’t wait to plant our new garden in the fall! @prairielakees@OCPSGreen@DrRahim_Jones @DaveGorham_OCPS @KimSeaver_OCPS
We made BristleBots this afternoon for our end of the year project/take home! The kids had an awesome time talking about open and closed circuits and naming their critters! @BrownDogGadgets @DaveGorham_OCPS @JillAdcock_OCPS@KimSeaver_OCPS@prairielakees
Our garden grows! Tons of beans and radishes, beets are somehow growing in the spinach row (seed dispersal by rainwater, maybe?), and our green onions are just starting to sprout! Our radishes will be ready to pick and eat in another week or two! @prairielakees#schoolgarden
@TheSchoolSeedB1 The heat is awful no matter how long you’ve been here! We finish at the end of May and start back at the beginning of August, so we have about 8-9 weeks. I live about 25 min from the school so I’ll be coming up every other day to weed and water and take in anything left.
