Using Children's Books to Inspire STEM Learning, Grades K-5
Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek from NSTA! We’re celebrating ALL #educators, but especially #science educators who spark curiosity, inspire discovery, and shape the future, one experiment, question, and "aha!" moment at a time. See bit.ly/4lXBLAy. #ScienceTeacher
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…

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.
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.
