Bee Monitoring 101 🐝 at St. Edward's State Park I didn't know there are flies that have yellow stripes! Also, much easier to tell the difference between a bee, wasp, and fly from photos than real live observations

WA Climate Summit 2025 presented some 3rd grade learning on climate and enjoyed sessions from others. Keynote was excellent!

Sunday celebration of Shoreline's Miyawaki Forest 1st birthday. It was a gift to experience storytelling from Roger Fernandes. shorelinehistoricalmuseum.org/exhibits-to-se…

Doing some additional research for our spring 2nd grade integrated unit focused on insects, life cycles, and pollination! Insects 101 workshop at UW Bothell Environmental Education Research Center at St Edward Statr Park

4th graders @SartoriSTEM are into their integrated ELA/Science unit on natural hazards. Using maps to identify patterns and trends, asking questions, doing research and using phys models. More to come with volcanic eruptions and floods! #NGSS @NGSSchat @NGSS_tweeps

@alicekeeler @janaki_aleena @bobsonwong @CAMathCouncil @cluzniak We will share more... testing rules and breaking game and fixing it and trying again!

@janaki_aleena @bobsonwong @CAMathCouncil @cluzniak @thinksci WAIT I want to know about this game

Day 2 of @camathcouncil #CMCmath was awesome: sitting with @cluzniak in the morning, presenting to a packed room at the end of the day, eating a date shake from Lappert’s, and trying to come up with math games with Carolyn Colley and @janaki_aleena! #MTBoS #ITeachMath

Getting started at @CAMathCouncil!

Enjoying learning @CAMathCouncil Enjoyed the night market last night and several sessions today!

Learning Lab @SartoriSTEM w/1st gr teachers today on "Science-itizing" read alouds. We elicited ideas on light w/a fiction story to launch the unit. Ss had such interesting ideas about light/dark! *inspired by @allisonhintz124 & A. Smith's book Mathematizing Children’s Lit

Same 4th gr class @SartoriSTEM, yesterday vs today w/feedback on Asking Questions We workshopped a few to be specific & detailed. Then Ss wrote Qs ❓️ Why is the salmon population going down as it gets more modern? ❓️Can salmon eat bigger opponents than them?

It is such an amazing spot! Hope some of y'all will come out and join us!

Perimeter/area pieces sorted and ready to assemble! 🧩 Finished = 68 x 48 cm with 1,000 pieces What do you notice or wonder about the edge vs inside pieces? What's your assembly approach? Do you separate stuck pieces or keep them together? #puzzlemath @ProDevPlayDates

Storytime at Rothy's in UVillage @UVillage at 3:30 PM today with local children's author @KatLaxton Hear a @Tipsy_Mae story, see the author/illustrator process, enjoy a coloring page AND check out Rothy's new children's shoes!!

So much fun and gorgeous weather today! If you are a k-8 teacher in the Seattle-ish area and need STEM clock hours we would love to have you join us for sessions Aug 5th & 7th!

First Teacher Day of Play was a success! Join us *tomorrow* or in August for more ‘Teacher Play Dates’ in the park! Sign up here: sites.google.com/view/prodevpla… @SeaPubSchools @KentSchools415 @TheBSD405 @Renton_Schools @LakeWashSchools @Northshore_SD @ShorelineK12 @EverettSchools

Solving problem from natural hazard with magnets! 🧲🏺Made me think of 3rd/4th grade @NGSSchat facebook.com/share/v/B3CBMY…

K-8 teacher near Seattle? Come play outside all day with other educators and get STEM clock hours! bit.ly/ProDevPlayDates @Renton_Schools @SeaPubSchools @TheBSD405 @FWPS210 @ShorelineK12 @EdmondsSchools

@kimmomteacher @SartoriSTEM I love how you have that question board!! What time of year do you do this unit?

@thinksci @SartoriSTEM I love this muffin unit that I got from you two years ago!

5th graders @SartoriSTEM started a conservation of matter unit this week! They halved fractions & measured ingredients to make 1/2 recipe. They weighed each muffin before & after baking. After baking, Muffins increased in volume but decreased in mass! How/why does that happen?
