Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

Today is National Oyster Day! 🦪 At CBF, we recognize that saving the Bay is uniquely tied to restoring native oysters. See how we're working to restore these Bay icons and how you can get involved: https://t.co/h5IVdXqJIg

Know anyone who needs to register a kindergartener? Remind them they can begin the process on-line easily!

After reaching record low numbers last year, the Chesapeake Bay blue crab population is showing some signs of improvement in the 2023 Blue Crab Winter Dredge Survey results released today. Read more: https://t.co/LzqNPTFrvY

Interesting idea.

[Brittney Beck @brittney_beck]

If you only have 10 minutes to devote to citizen science in your classroom, try a Citizen Science Data Talk. We're starting to pilot resources on our website below. Check them out and let us know what you think. We'll refine and add as we go.

CBF: Breaking news! In a win for clean water, a proposed settlement has been reached in our EPA lawsuit. Learn more at https://t.co/yfXuoezqYy

[Dr. Susan B. Johnson @SBJohnson070116]

Outstanding performances by our @calvertnet Environ-thon teams. We appreciate our teachers and community partners in supporting this event.

Looking for a Spring Break project?

[Allison Bogart, KO6AOP @AllieBBogart]

Exploring Newton’s third law by making Newton’s Cradles. Students will take these home to keep or share with others, which expands the learning and love of science and engineering. Great way to wind up to break. #ngss #scied #cangss

[CCPS STEM @STEMinCCPS]

Join us tomorrow! Get out of the weather and have some science and engineering fun!

[Theresa Young @beach5girl]

Math Night our @PlumPointESCCPS Destination Imagination team led three #STEM stations of water and fun!
350 people! @STEMinCCPS @CalvertnetMath we gave 77 Nature STEM ideas from @dailystem Thanks @ConstellationEG

Sixth graders are learning about force and motion in science classrooms this quarter. Any thoughts?

[Phenomena @NGSSphenomena]

Look at this racquet!!?!? Why does the powder stay once the ball hits?!?!? How is it still the same shape?!? Why don’t the colors mix?!? Why is this so awesome?!?!? 🤩🤔🤯 #ngss #ngsschat #science

[Dr. Susan B. Johnson @SBJohnson070116]

Love to start the holiday by seeing our @calvertnet @HESCCPS students showcased on Outdoors Maryland helping to make reef balls to support the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. #calvertshines https://t.co/v5locZ6eZA

Wrapping up your class with intention can be really powerful. These *5 activities* bring SEL and academic reflection together. 🙌🏾

"In a paper published in the journal Matter, University of Maryland researchers say they’ve made a biodegradable battery with a substance found in crab shells." 🤯 https://t.co/hGNEeOjjCk

[Plum Point Middle School @PlumPointMSCCPS]

Engaged in scientific inquiry looking for patterns, our 7th graders in Mr. Pellock’s class were on a mission to solve a mystery dating back to the 1800’s! What a great way to kick off the second week of school together! #OurTimeToShine 🐊☀️#CalvertShines

[Plum Point Middle School @PlumPointMSCCPS]

For even more collaboration, cooperation, and building #relationshipskills Mr. Kohan’s 7th grade science classes challenged each other to engineer the tallest structure! Lab groups worked together and rose to the challenge! #OurTimeToShine #CalvertShines 💚🐊☀️
