Our hydroponics garden is thriving! Basil & cilantro are growing beautifully, & while the rosemary is taking its time, it’s doing wonderfully. We are harvesting next week before transitioning to flowers. It’s incredible to see what Ss can grow using the NFT system from @cropking

Do you know what the most popular candy is in the United States? It is NOT Gummy Clusters. Tune into our latest Junior High As we Know It Podcast, "Sweet Tooth" episode featuring Ss sharing and debating their favorite sweets youtube.com/watch?v=oclpff… @AJHComets @YouTube

Great visit to @CropKing Inc to explore bringing more hydroponics opportunities to our Ss here in Amherst 🌱 Excited to continue our partnerships that will help create authentic, hands-on learning opportunities for all ages of Ss while looking into innovative ways to grow food.

1st graders traveled to Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming for a virtual field trip exploring amazing animal adaptations! This experience connects directly to our CKLA curriculum & gives Ss the opportunity to learn from experts beyond our classroom @centerofthewest

A very full circle moment for me. From graduating from @KentState to presenting @KentState- I never thought this was going to happen:) Go Golden Flashes! Thank you @NEOTechConf for the opportunity to share how our @AJHComets Ss are Vibe Coding & creating amazing projects!

Do you know what a parfleche is? Our kindergarteners do! It’s a suitcase made from buffalo hide. 🦬 We virtually visited @centerofthewest in Cody, WY to learn how Plains tribes used every part of the buffalo. A perfect connection to our CKLA unit!

Today in Kdg we used magnetic pieces & our pin-back button machine to create hands-on letter tiles to reinforce letter sounds & build strong foundational skills. Ss designed & created their own learning manipulatives from start to finish, engaged, empowered, & proud of their work

Vibe Coding is so cool! I'll be presenting at NEOTech 2026 on Mar 10 - 10, 2026 at Kent State University teaching adults and students how to vibe code. I would love to see you there! #NEOTech2026 #NEOTech @NEOTechConf Register here: @a-7Lq9f/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">whova.com/portal/registr…

Another great meeting with Computer Science Clubs. Our @AJHComets are working on a vibe coding competition and our Powers Ss are continuing their works with Circuit building using @SnapCircuits

2nd Grade used @CanvaEdu to create an interactive poster where viewers can scan & listen to audio recordings of our Ss reading their written reports on a variety of Olympic sports! A fun way to combine research, writing, & voice into one engaging project @milancortina26

Thank you UCAR Center For Science Education @UCARSciEd for teaching our Ss all about clouds. We were all amazed at the science behind weather.

I’m grateful to work with the amazing @edtechsears, who challenges me to grow, educate, & advocate. We’re excited to head to #OETC26 to share ideas and learn from others. If you’re there, we’d love for you to join us!
