Science teacher, mom, and lifelong learner. It’s always a great day for some science!

7th graders learned elements of art, composition, and a variety of paint brush strokes along with the solar system and space exploration in this #artsintegrated science unit. @NASA images helped us make a canvas painting of our own. #cosmicart #STEAM @TomahawkCreekMS @PIAURSPCS

My students had a great time planting our @TomahawkCreekMS school garden for #EarthDay2023 The master gardeners from the #chesterfield cooperative extension are awesome!! Thank you 🥰❤️🌱

Thank you Jeff and Janet Crouch!!! Supporting native species is so much more important than a manicured lawn. Changing laws and losing lawns! @smerconish

@PVMSLibrary1 @MJRodney21 @runthelibrary Love this so much!!!

My new favorite tradition is to surprise students with a #holiday hallway transformation after Thanksgiving break! Lots of happy kiddos on this #MondayMorning. Better than coffee! #SeasonsGreetings @TomahawkCreekMS @erindreelin

Dissections raise the bar for our Ss. #Squid for the win in life science! 🦑 The feedback was great: “I liked how we got to wear lab equipment because I felt like a real scientist,” “I loved working with my partner!” #handsonlearning #SEL @TomahawkCreekMS #scitlap @scienceCCPS

I am excited to share that an article I wrote has been published in the 2022 @VASCD Journal! Check out my article on Integrating Art with #SEL for MS Science Success! @ccpsinfo @scienceCCPS @TomahawkCreekMS 2022 VASCD Journal (Volume 19) https://t.co/Em1QornjUh via @issuu

@karenvaites @ClassroomWonder @achievethecore @MJLiben Thank you so much! This is very helpful and I will share with my ELA dept and principal. My school is currently working to roll out a remediation plan based on “reading articles.” Love the prospect of deepening this into a knowledge building remediation model!

[Nicole Rowland, Ed.S (she/her) @nicoleandwill]

I’m a 7th grade science teacher looking to support structured #literacy and the #scienceofreading. How can I do it?? Where do I start with my students?! I currently do novel studies that fit our units. 📖 #edchat #scichat @ClassroomWonder

[Nicole Rowland, Ed.S (she/her) @nicoleandwill]

@SofRteacher @ClassroomWonder Yes! I do this informally while teaching, but I will structure it a bit more for intentional word work. Thanks!

[Nicole Rowland, Ed.S (she/her) @nicoleandwill]

@s_tufts2 @ClassroomWonder I feel silly asking, but by scaffold do you mean not providing an alternate text on a lower reading level? I do feel strongly that students need exposure to grade level text and support to grapple with science academic language.

[Nicole Rowland, Ed.S (she/her) @nicoleandwill]

@hilarym99 @ClassroomWonder Thank you!

[Nicole Rowland, Ed.S (she/her) @nicoleandwill]

@JosephSokolovi1 @ClassroomWonder This would be ideal!! I do share my suggestions. Unfortunately ELA dept choices are not within my control and I want to do all I can for the kids I teach now. ❤️

[Nicole Rowland, Ed.S (she/her) @nicoleandwill]

@midlomollee Ooooohhh no!! Boo!! 👎 Tell her to get herself right up and get that tissue when she needs it! 🤧🤯😤

[Nicole Rowland, Ed.S (she/her) @nicoleandwill]

@midlomollee 🤣🤣🤣🤣 my guess is that is during small group instruction or reading workshop. 📿🙊

Tomahawk Creek Middle science & Spanish classes raised monarch butterflies as part of a cross-curricular conservation project. They released the butterflies during an event that celebrated butterflies and Hispanic heritage: https://t.co/7pceBCDk8G #oneCCPS @TomahawkCreekMS

[Nicole Rowland, Ed.S (she/her) @nicoleandwill]

So excited to see this project come to life!! It was an awesome experience raising these #butterflies and I was so excited to share this experience with our foreign lang dept for #HispanicHeritageMonth. @TomahawkCreekMS https://t.co/NIokSfDpyu

@MJRodney21 @jfwest11 Yay Julia!! ❤️❤️

Our Environmental Stewardship Awareness Committee Members didn’t let the lack of a babysitter hold them back. They brought the kids with and other members pitched in to help watch! Love our Committees and the staff that support them! #bettertogether @JoshDavisCOO⁩
