A big thank you to Maury families for making teachers feel so appreciated this week (virtually and in-person)! Today was so special. 🌷

The book character parade today is going to “bee” great! So many creative and clever costumes this morning from the Maury Cougars!

Thanks for a great October Morning Meeting, Maury Cougars! I can’t wait to hear your change-maker songs and poems next month. For inspiration here’s the video again. Meet The 12-Year-Boy Who Sang ‘I Just Want To Live’ About George Floyd |... https://t.co/LQ6yQIzbBF via @YouTube

Hearing your first wood thrush each spring is food for the soul! Listen for the flute-like song in this video recorded yesterday in Silver Spring, MD. After wintering in Central America, wood thrushes come to the US to nest and raise young. https://t.co/4qxaFt6LkQ

So excited to be part of @NatGeoEducation's #ExplorerClassroom at 2:00 pm ET this Thursday (or 4am Friday Sydney time)!

Can't wait to chat about green-blooded #frogs, thorny frogs & vampire flying frogs (just to name a few!) to students & families! 🐸🐸

To keep with the theme of our dinosaur study, examine and read about portraits of a few female paleontologists on the Smithsonian Natural History Museum’s website. The exhibit is called “Challenging the Face of Science: The Bearded Lady Project.” https://t.co/iai8kEMg1s

Did you know that there are 1,400 different species of bats? A big thank you to National Geographic’s Explorer Edward Hurme for teaching students about the Myotis Vives bat, which eats fish and shrimp and is able to drink salt water. @NatGeo #ExplorerClassroom.

This week consider taking a virtual tour of the exhibit “Deep Time,” about dinosaurs and fossils, at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. Go to this link and it will also tell you how to download an audio description of the exhibit: https://t.co/RbKn7U7IlE.

Here are some dino drawings to get you started this week. Remember to start with the bones, give the bones a body, and then add scaly skin or maybe even feathers. Finish your drawing with a prehistoric environment.

What makes a glacier? It’s has to be made of snow, flow, and be there for a long time. A big thank you to glaciologist M Jackson for her fantastic tour of glaciers around the globe today. @NatGeo #ExploererClassroom

Last year I got this amazing mug from my secret buddy @NorahRab! It’s such a delight to use everyday. Looking forward to learning more about dinosaurs with our Maury Cougars next week for our first whole school distance learning unit.
