Mr. Pond's class has been fascinated by #owlpellets. If you have never tried dissecting these with your class, it is well worth doing! #sd46 #bced #buddingscientists

If you are an educator and interested in joining our CharacterStrong Educator FB Group we would love to have you. Whether you are using CS or not, the group is going to be a positive source of inspiration, ideas, and content to stay focused on the WHY along with the HOW.

Grateful to Marleen Vermeulen, artist and dear friend, who guided our NESTers to ‘paint by feel’. They’re beyond proud of their bark textures, self-proclaimed masterpieces. “I’m gonna sell mine for 600 bucks!” cries F. @KurbatoffG #artistsintheclassroom #artistsoninstagram

@brenbogle @jmarquis10 @TeriMooring @bctf And I’m saying, they have no business asking the question, let alone casting a collective vote on the matter. Because they do, hardly makes it right.

NEST Reporter. An idea and practice that started in their #freeplay, morphed into this bonafide #firstedition. 100% kid initiated and created - well, except for the photocopying. #challengebychoice #gogetters #NESTed #sd46 #newsworthy
