My favorite email so far in this life came from a former student. It said"whats good g." I don't know what that means, but it made day. Connecting with kids, all kids, is my forever why.

In chapter 4 of #DailySTEM, author @dailystem discusses cardboard! I read aloud THE LITTLE RED FORT, & I challenged the book study participants (K-5 teachers) to use #BoxLox to co-create the tallest fort that could hold 2 people. We used quotes (A-Z) from the book to reflect.

On the latest #STEM Everyday Podcast I chat with Jeff (co-founder of Rock by Rock) about the need for simple & relevant #PBL lessons and what they’re doing to help. Listen on your podcast app or at dailystem.com/2022/10/01/ste…

Lets be honest, science is a communications class. Getting students to listen to sense-making of others, using spoken & written words, or modeling, to share their sense-making. It has to start with good listening. #NGSSchat

#STEM is not a book we open up, or a name we put on a school... STEM isn’t something we only do on Friday with your students... STEM is about making learning relevant EVERY day for EVERY kid in EVERY classroom! It’s #DailySTEM.
