We've had the most amazing time working with a real Paleontologist! Last week he came into school to hear Ss report on their conclusions about authentic fossils he provided & brought a museum-quality collection to us! We've learned so much. #nvms #WeAreNoble #pbl #realscience

Some of our pre-snow day traditions: Put a spoon behind my pillow, 2 white crayons in the freezer, wear pjs inside out and flush an ice cube down the toilet. Haul the generator outta the garage, and make sure the snowblower works, if you'd call that "tradition".
What are yours?

We had the most amazing opportunity to meet with a REAL scientist today via Google Meets. He shared his career path, travels, and experiences with fossils. Next he's sharing authentic fossils with us to analyze for ourselves #nvms #WeAreNoble #pbl #fossilinquiry #realscience

NVMS Students are creating and analyzing poetry this month. We had the most amazing discussion of this poem and others this afternoon, led by Ms. Abbott. Each word of a poem is important, just like each member of our NVMS community. #nvms #WeAreNoble #poetryforall

The NVMS January design challenge is to create a two part design with pieces that fit together. #3Dprinting is such a great way to teach and experience the design process. It creates authentic motivation to define, prepare, try and reflect...and repeat! #nvms #WeAreNoble #pbl
