“If you can eat it it’s probably not a model.” Words to live by when teaching students how to be a scientist. Models are only valuable if they are applied, they should not be the end product. https://t.co/9UutXT2ZB1

Mother Nature is trying to get the water year off to a good start. Let’s keep it up!

As of 1pm, Oct 9th, the Boise Airport has recorded 0.75" of rain, and more is possible through the afternoon. This will break the daily record of 0.61" for Oct 9th set in 1911. #idwx

New technology can be distracting! Allow students to play and discover prior to working on those learning but targets. https://t.co/kFAmCDa3ou

Teacher challenge: Can you develop assessment questions for all levels of Blooms Taxonomy based on Goldilocks and the Three Bears? #assessment #BSWP2018 #bloomstaxonomy https://t.co/LdkNmCr07f

[Mr. Mercer @wizardmercer]

@Miss_K_Boyle It’s a great starting point. Compile your comments the first time, put them in next years rubric, and save tons of writing the second time through. Just make sure you somehow convey your expectations to the kids if your rubric doesn’t do it for you.
