@tjscience @dtcampbe @bpenuel @BUWheelock Congratulations, TJ! 🥳

Happy to say I successfully defended my dissertation today! #PhDone! I cannot thank Suzanne Wilson, @dtcampbe, @bpenuel, David Moss, Sarah Michaels, and my ❤️ STEPH enough for their support! And my @BUWheelock Trotter family for the incredible insect-themed sign!!!

Mathematicians play ⭕️ & ⭐️s (circles & stars) to practice repeated addition & skip counting as they are introduced to multiplication. 😄👍 Grab some 🎲 🎲 & play at home!

🗺 Map makers design a perfect park. Directions are included to help get to different parts of the park. Check out the symbols (in the key & in the maps).🤩

☺️ So proud of my engineers! They were very successful w/ their designs to slow/stop erosion. Wire netting helps prevent rocky cliff sides from eroding into the road! Seawalls do slow erosion!🌊🏠 Grass & rocks help soil being eroded away from down spouts!

Getting ready to “dink”!

We’re having so much fun at Pickleball Club! 🏓

Check it out! 👀 The engineers’ designs were a success! The plants & sea wall slowed/prevented erosion! 😀

Engineers record the details of the erosion models they created with labeled sciagrams: How will plants or a sea wall slow/prevent erosion?

😦One of the erosion problems engineers are trying to slow/prevent…

Engineers draw/record models to slow/prevent 🌬/💧erosion. We are excited to test our models!

Who are our Elem. School teachers? Reply here so we can follow you! As a HS teacher, I love how you differentiate content, connect multiple subject areas, and foster curiosity/questions. ❓What's a hope you have for Elem. Science Education❓ 📸Omaha Zoo Academy near me!

😍Check out these incredible book recommendations! Authors use persuasive writing to convince friends they need to read these books! 😁💗📚

Have you been wondering about our 🌽?😄 Here’s an update. We harvested! Unfortunately, it was not pollinated, but still awesome to observe! 🤩🔍

🏓 Welcome to Room 9’s MYB Pickleball Club! We had so much fun learning how to “dink” & working on ball control.

Engineers create models to show erosion. What will their designs look like to slow/prevent wind/water erosion? 🤓 💭

Scientists, through research & observations, collect evidence of wind 🌬 & water 💧erosion. Then, in teams, discuss/plan possible solutions.

Working with words… We 💗 our personal-sized syllable houses!

🤓 Scientists compare solutions designed to slow/prevent water from changing the shape of the land. Some decided to use materials to “deflect” the 💧 like leaves of plants might deflect 🌧.

@taftphaedra1 Would love to help. Let me know what you need or how I can help.

@Room9Pics Would love more about this lesson. I am in that 2nd gr unit now

Besides oceans, lakes, rivers (liquid form)…Where else is water found on Earth? ❄️🧊 Glaciers! (solid) Geologists researched & used models to show how glaciers change the land slowly. As the glaciers melted, we had many noticings 👀&wonderings: Do glaciers create rivers? lakes?

@pamwhiting34 White play-doh 😀

@Room9Pics Hello again and thanks for the “land” info. I found the investigation on Mystery science. I love your glacier investigation! Same question…what is the white material you used for the land? Thanks! Pam
