@bengalbiodiesel week 2 in full swing. Students lead morning meetings then get to work all over the lab. Learning the ropes, working through challenges, making connections. @1ProudBengal @BlythewoodHigh @Coach_Epps @cgiustBHS

@Coach_Epps and @cgiustBHS prepping their @NSTA session this morning getting all prepped for ATL next week! It’s going to be an engaging, community building and fun session to attend! @bengalbiodiesel @BHSBengalNation

What a great start to the semester! In the last few weeks we have onboarded 17 new students and are close to finishing our training. On top of all that, we got real tables! Students had a blast putting them together! #earnyourstripes #fuelmyfuture

[Bengal Biodiesel @bengalbiodiesel]

Can’t wait! What a great opportunity for our students to give back to @RichlandTwo! #fuelmyfuture

[Bengal Biodiesel @bengalbiodiesel]

If your children attend public school, vote for @LisaForSC for Superintendent of Education. The other person wants to take tax dollars away from public schools and spend it on private and religious schools that can discriminate.

[Vicki Ringer @vickiringer]

The Republican nominee for education superintendent Ellen Weaver won’t have a master’s degree as required by SC law at the time of the Nov. 8 election. She is unqualified to lead our schools if she lacks the basic education that our teachers and principals are expected to have.

Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels.

I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow.

Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’

Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path.

Strap in. It’s a 🧵

When I retweeted this in May, I had done all this but hoped never to put it to use. This week, my students & I spent close to 50 minutes in a closet waiting for help because of a HOAX. Unfortunately, the police with guns were REAL, the hurt & fear was REAL, the trauma was REAL!

[Benjara Elliott @elliottwit2ts]

This is how ⁦@BlythewoodHigh⁩ bounce back from a traumatic week. We come together like the family we are!! ⁦@1ProudBengal⁩ ⁦@DrBaronDavis⁩ ⁦@RichlandTwo⁩ #WeAreBengalNation

[Casey Giust @cgiustBHS]

I spent a very real 30+ minutes in the storage room with my students. We waited for police officers to evacuate us safely. We left, past many officers with large guns, with our hands up over our heads. I’m grateful it was a hoax, yet this should not so easily become reality.

On Wednesday, the school where I teach- and the school that my daughter attends- was placed into an active shooter situation as a result of a call reporting shots fired in the building. (1/5)

Might need to use this next year for high school chemistry… “Where is 1 mole?”

[Marilyn Burns @mburnsmath]

And some number line ideas that might work for younger students.

@BlythewoodHigh students celebrating #EarthDay w the “roll out” of composting bins during lunch! Proud of this student-led initiative from #R2Hacks2022 @cgiustBHS @Coach_Epps

[ηathan oneill @nate_innovate]

First bags of compost in now! Let’s see what the microbes and mixer can do in coming weeks. This student-led idea can love the needle on food waste. @BHSBengalNation @Coach_Epps @cgiustBHS
