I can watch them hopping down the stairs every day!
my favourite consequence of the covid-19 societal lockdown is aquarium penguins roaming around freely and when this is all over I for one welcome them as our new overlords

Alyssa Farkas. You are an inspiration to me. The freshman #cheerleader is adjusting to High School. Anytime I have an excuse I think of her. Tune in TONIGHT at 6pm & 11pm on @NBC29 to watch her moving story. @WAHSSports

I love teaching experimental design @WMSWildcatNews! Telling students that we *must* fly paper airplanes to help us learn about variables is the best.

ISO new gyms...@PlanetFitness told me my teen could sit in the waiting rm and read but not come on the floor. (I am unable to drive 30 minutes home to drop off and 30 minutes back to gym.) Tonight they said I have to pay $5 for her to sit in the waiting rm every time!

How do you teach Ss to repurpose and reuse? Artist Julie Alice Chappell creates the most enchanting creatures from discarded computer parts. This seahorse has been lovingly fabricated almost entirely out of disk drive actuators. #STEAM

I wish I had gotten pics of my @WMSWildcatNews scientists balancing chem equations with #Legos. Challenging but oh so fun. @LEGO_Group
