Just listened to a fabulous webinar - Empowering Student Voices: Integrating Podcasting in the Classroom - featuring @HaloRogers and @CommonSense Thanks so much for all the information!
ALT A color photo of the Ingenuity Mars helicopter shows the rotorcraft sitting on the surface of the Red Planet. Its four slanted legs rest on the rocky surface supporting the box-shaped main body and double propellers. The helicopter takes up the majority of the image, and the rest of the frame is speckled with reddish brown rocks and pebbles. The image was taken by the Perseverance rover’s Mastcam-Z on April 16, not long after the rotorcraft’s 50th flight.
As I prepare for Summer Teacher Institute @TJMonticello I rediscovered @splcenter Teaching Hard History podcasts - learningforjustice.org/podca… lots of insight regarding how & why educators can navigate these topics
Students in Mrs. MacRitchie’s class met with @smithsonian to learn about characteristics of dinosaurs and how we learn from fossils. Another great program! @CopperHillES @FlemRarSchools
Just created a presentation on australopithecines using @slidesgpt It provided some very basic information but the images did not match the information provided slidesgpt.com/l/8mj7 going to try a simpler topic...
A shout-out to @tenementmuseum for providing images of these historical objects. 4th-graders @RobertHunterES & @CopperHillES had the opportunity to analyze these Primary Documents and, like detectives, made observations, inferences and hypotheses. It's one of MY favorite lessons!
Third-graders @RobertHunterES excited to meet with meteorologist @timbrice17 from the National Weather Service. Ss learning about tools meteorologists use to forecast the weather - and practicing their visual note-taking skills. @FlemRarSchools
Four-grade students @CopperHillES are learning about closed, open and short circuits - as well as conductive and insulating materials #ScienceIsFun @FlemRarSchools
