On a small island off New Guinea, a camera trap has captured the first images *ever* taken of the Black-naped Pheasant-Pigeon, a bird that has not been seen by scientists in 140 years. news.cornell.edu/stories/2022/1…

@SASRILibrary I want to hear more about this puppy!

#SASRILibrary #SASRIDP1 #thinkers #SASRIGrade11 But does your library play vinyl records while you study on a rainy day? Extra points for a sweet & sleepy puppy in the floor.

🙌 After long discussions between the #RoKorean government and stakeholders, the #Nakdong Estuary Embankment has finally opened its floodgates for the first time in 35 years to help restore the wetland ecosystem. Read more: cutt.ly/GGA8B2Z cutt.ly/GGA8B2Z

A ridiculous argument between two of my students who are friends includes “these are ridiculous allegations against my character,” a discussion of alter egos, and something about eating mayo out of a jar, and pineapple with hot rice. I love MS students.

Former student now G10 was an avid Rubik’s cuber, emailed to ask if my club wanted their old cubes. YES! So much joy for the last day of our club. #kispride

if there’s one thing I’m not gonna do after living through a pandemic in a capitalist state is “power through” when I’m sick. nah — imma be miserable at home with this cold and drink this tea and eat this soup and watch these romcoms at home until my body says “we good.”

My sister @AWSurette wrote this blog post! Very proud of all the work she does to try and help the world be better.

Airshow practice over campus this week!

Well after my last post the bird decided that Australia was the best place to stop and rest, check out the travels she undertook, at an age when she was not meant to migrate at all, isn’t nature a wonderful thing

I hope this email never finds you. I hope you are hidden. Hidden in rest and relaxation. I hope your Outlook crashes and that you just spend the rest of the day outside. I hope you don’t think about emails while you’re there. I hope you are free.

Paper airplane competition in house teams today. “Ms. Surette! Look! I call it ‘compressed airplane’ and it always wins!”

First big lab of the year, G8 students explore frequency and wavelength, but have to create a lab entirely from scratch. It’s a challenge, but working with teammates gets it done! #kispride

Teachers exposed to covid at school are being told not to worry and not to quarantine because they are vaccinated — even though we know vaxxed folks are testing positive, getting sick, and transmitting the delta virus to others. How is this ok?!

I’m in recess duty and didn’t bring my binoculars, so of course this bird of prey shows up- just far enough off that I can’t get a good look. Grrr.

Happy first day of school from the colorful MS science department! @lori_uemura @ChopSciDesign

Great ideas here!
