Introducing our unlikely classroom pet...earthworms!

Thank you @riosupt et al for purchasing the @MysterySci classroom packs for us this year! It has made teaching science WAY easier! I was able to order the worms through the pack.

Not looking good for the🐢🐢. "Turtle guides on the islands, who lead visitors largely from Europe on overnight beach treks, are mandated to educate them about climate change." https://t.co/iFdQdToPc6

Writing-Out-of-the-Day: We sat near the 'conch' to trace the JOURNEY of a drop of water in a watershed 🥣

Rain clouds to rills to streams to rivers to oceans or lakes 🌧️🏞️🌊

Tomorrow Ss will elaborate on this journey when Writing-into-the-Day 📝🌅
