@bunsenbernerbmd Years ago, we adopted Buster because he kept getting quilled in the Michigan UP. Still caught a couple of squirrels in our backyard!

@TizzyEnt They have a national cemetery and a former Civil War site. Great views and storytelling at both.

@bunsenbernerbmd About 15 years ago we rescued Buster, who we think was an otter hound. Got quilled twice (reason for being given up) and caught squirrels in our backyard during his lifetime. When a loose dog came charging during a walk, he stood his ground and protected us. Best dog!

I’ve seen a growing number of people throwing reading parties where they gather together once or twice a week for snacks and silent reading, and I can’t think of anything that would more improve our collective mental health.

We were about $6,999,999 short on funding for a Super Bowl ad with this same message, but maybe if everyone shares it, we will reach the same number of people?

@JenniferRusson To my middle schoolers, I ask them if it’s the N or O they don’t understand. Works every time!

A group of educators teamed up to teach a group of students different note-taking strategies.

Read about the activity, and its results (Spoiler alert: 43.5% of the students liked taking Cornell notes the best)!

This was the question posed to MS students after investigating and then debating disposal methods in the @LabAids @SEPUP_UCB Waste Hierarchy unit.

Dilution to pollution is NOT a solution. We live in an enclosed bubble (ocean/atmosphere/land); nothing is released into an abyss. All human pollution (metals, toxins, pathogens) will come back to affect us. Microbes have existed for billions of years-humans, not even close.

2023 study: “Our thesis is that a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders is a decline over decades in opportunities for children and teens to play, roam, and engage in other activities independent of direct oversight and control by adults."
