@ElieNYC 50+ with no clue what you're talking about.

Question: If I write "strange women lying in ponds is no basis for a system of government"... does anybody under 40 know what I'm talking about? Do I have to cite it lest someone thinks I made that up myself? Should I just give up because I am old and need to be put in a home?

Astro Girl was the inspiration for the @GiftedFlyers water bottle rockets today. #WhyWeFly #NovelEngineering

@GiftedFlyers used #VR and the CoasterMania app to build rollercoasters today. The CoPilots from @LHSFlyers came over to assist ... great multi-age partnership! #WhyWeFly

@rebeccadunnell We have a lovely woman at work who does this daily ... some times multiple times ... saying "Thank you for letting me know." Grrrrrr!!!

In a world full of whatever, please, please, please do NOT reply all.

Our @mohistorymuseum field trip was a great success! Coloring STL, History Clubhouse, and class about flooding & materials ... fun! With @NicoleGLEAP #WhyWeFly

@GiftedFlyers are continuing to monitor & collect data on our cabbage experiment. So far, the plants watered with warm water seem to be growing more (taller, wider, more leaves) than those watered with cold water. #WhyWeFly with @NicoleGLEAP

3rd grade @GiftedFlyers started our @bonnieplants cabbage experiment today. Growing local is a step toward #sustainability & our hands-on experiment has our students fully engaged! with @NicoleGLEAP #WhyWeFly

If you haven’t had the chance to @skypeascientist before, you’re missing out! Our 3rd Grade @GiftedFlyers talked with an ecologist & climate scientist today about her work studying the microorganisms that live in the permafrost. #WhyWeFly with @NicoleGLEAP & @MrsHudsonFLYERS

@Makeblock @MakeblockEdu You are welcome to share our work.

@BlackwellLEAP @GiftedFlyers @NicoleGLEAP @MakeblockEdu Hi Mary, How are you? We recently came across your content and really enjoyed it. I'm writing to inquire if we could use it on our website. We would greatly appreciate it if you could agree with that. What are your thoughts on this? Looking forward to your early reply...❤️

5th grade @GiftedFlyers were introduced to our @Makeblock robots today using a trial-error-analysis approach, collaborating w/classmates, making mistakes, working at their own pace. Engagement & critical thinking were HIGH! #STEMeducation #WhyWeFly w/ @NicoleGLEAP @MakeblockEdu

4th grade @GiftedFlyers are engaged in visual thinking today as they use #pentominoes. First we worked to determine all the different ways to combine 5 squares, then we used pieces to make shapes in multiple ways. #WhyWeFly

In order to live long-term beyond earth, we’ll need to grow food. Today, @GiftedFlyers are beginning to experiment with #HydroponicFarming , planning, designing, and building their garden systems. #WhyWeFly with @NicoleGLEAP

@GiftedFlyers were investigating renewable & non-renewable energy sources with kits from @3Duxdesign , thanks to a grant from the @LSFoundationSTL . Critical thinking, engineering design, collaboration, and communication were showing in full force! with @NicoleGLEAP #WhyWeFly

In #CSI, our @GiftedFlyers were engaged in a chromatography investigation today. Is all black ink REALLY black? Is all blue ink really blue? Are all inks the same? #WhyWeFly

1st & 2nd grade @GiftedFlyers met with an engineer from CDG Engineers today to kick off our #PBL unit focused on helping redesign the Route 66 State Park. Real world connections & an authentic audience! with @NicoleGLEAP & @MrsHudsonFLYERS #WhyWeFly @GAMgifted

@rubingo ‘s Secret Pizza Party was the inspiration for our #NovelEngineering task last week. @GiftedFlyers planned parties in different locations & created costumes for their @Ozobot raccoon to wear to the party. #WhyWeFly

Today in #CSI, @GiftedFlyers solved the age-old mystery in Clue. Critical Thinking, logical reasoning, communication, and fun! #WhyWeFly

@rubingo ‘s Secret Pizza Party was the inspiration for our @GiftedFlyers #NovelEngineering task last week. Students planned pizza parties in silly locations & prepared costmes for their @Ozobot raccoons to wear on the way to the party. #WhyWeFly

3rd grade @GiftedFlyers worked to design sustainable cities, focused on renewable energy sources & “green” practices. Our future is in good hands! #WhyWeFly with @NicoleGLEAP

@GiftedFlyers were using visual reasoning & critical thinking skills as we played @set_game today. I love the opportunity to introduce “new” games to our 4th graders! #WhyWeFly
