If you're seeing the Northern Lights tonight, here's an explainer of how the different colors can appear! We are currently seeing a vivid display of pinks and greens here at the office!
Great write-up from Chaminade U. about using Picture-Perfect STEM Lessons and multicultural children’s literature such as Drum Dream Girl to teach STEM. 📚 #STEMeducation #KidLit #PictureBooks @margaritapoet @EmilyMorganNTYS @LeighAnsberry chaminade.edu/aspiring-teach…

How to Make Reading Fun Again!
TIPS: Keep book selections current; surround kids w/ positive messages about reading; teach them how to do a 1-min. book talk; let them write shelf copy about books; & let them express their opinions—positive or negative—about what they read. #KidLit #MG publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/ch…

Another fun workshop this morning with Kansas teachers talking about how to integrate STEM and children’s literature! @ksdehq @frizzlerichard
A nice morning with Kansas teachers learning about STEM, children’s literature, and elephants! Thanks for the opportunity (& providing free books for participants @frizzlerichard 🤗) @ksdehq #STEM #STEMeducation #KidLit @elephantvoices
Metacognition is a critical skill in both reading and sense-making!
🔎 These sentence stems, via T @emilyfranESL, offer Ss the tools to examine their own thinking. #InstantPD
Reading aloud is magic. 🪄
"The almost magical power of storytelling to transform and heal" is one of the best reasons I've seen for reading aloud to your students throughout the school day and across all subject areas. Reading aloud is magic. 🪄 #KidLit tes.com/magazine/teach…
Nice erosion demo!
The difference vegetation can make when it comes to soil erosion 🌱
Fun Fact: Quicksand is a colloid of water and sand, silt, or clay. This non-Newtonian fluid can look like a solid when undisturbed (think Oobleck), but can quickly lose viscosity when stepped on. Luckily, it is impossible for a human to sink entirely due to its higher density!
In the 60's, quicksand was a recurring element in movies and TV. In my mind it was a clear and present danger so I learned how to survive it (don't panic, lie on back to distribute weight). I was also afraid of the Bermuda Triangle, razor blades in candy bars, and Charles Manson.
This looks great! @BAndersonWriter amazon.com/Thomas-Jeffers…

April was brilliant, kind, and funny. She inspired everyone she met to look at nature with a sense of wonder. ❤️
Remembering April Pulley Sayre, photographer and author known for her books about the wonders of nature and science. She received the John Burroughs Award for excellence in natural history for young readers. #ChildrensBooks She wrote over 80 books.
