Humbled and honored to share that I am a state finalist for the Presidential Award of Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). Grateful for everyone who has helped me become the teacher I am now (and still am becoming). #paemstfinalist

Back from an incredible overnight wl our fifth grade students for the eclipse. We experienced 3.5 minutes of totality & I don’t have the words to do it justice. No pics but I “took a picture in my mind” as mom would say. Grateful & in awe.💛☀️🌑 #Eclipse24 #totality

Excited to share- new lecture course coming Tuesdays in April!

This year: How and why we must confront Hard Histories in America.

4 Focus areas- Racism, Resistance, Democracy, and Mobility.

I've got a new post up on the Shepherd.com 📚 website: 'The Best Children's Books to Teach You Something New About Animals.' I feature titles from Melissa Stewart Heather L Montgomery Rosemary Mosco (Bird And Moon Comics) Kate Gardner and Jacquie Sewell. shepherd.com/best-books/tea…

I love this. The smallest investment in your goals helps make them a reality. Congrats and thanks for sharing

Hey teachers…how could you repurpose this idea for another classroom lesson? Electrons? Planets?

Love this!!! Applies to science teachers, just in a different way.

This is my third year in 12x12 (or is it four?) and I can say with certainty that you won’t find a more helpful, supportive, and encouraging #kidlit group! Joining was one of the best choices I made for myself as a writer. #whyilove12x12PB

We were about $6,999,999 short on funding for a Super Bowl ad with this same message, but maybe if everyone shares it, we will reach the same number of people?

Today is international women and girls in science day so this is your reminder that (1) underrepresented groups need nurturing and mentorship’s, not “inspiration” and (2) women are only one underrepresented group in science. We must support *all* northernpublicradio.org/wnij-news/2023…

Unexpected Sunday night success: just sent a draft MG NF proposal to my agent. I've been working on it forever...a little surreal that it's in her inbox now! #kidlit #kidlit STEM

For a small fee, I will go to your enemy’s classroom and knock over all the Stanleys.

Oh wait…that already happens every. single. day. #bigdumbcup

What a great post!
