I’ve reached the point (well, I’ve actually been there awhile) that school shootings don’t make me sad. They make me furious. Because our kids deserve better. Our teachers deserve better. And we could do something about it…and we don’t. #Apalachee

“How many times must I tell you? We don’t eat our friends.”

Awesome scientific news!

A pet peeve: when library books show as available in the catalog and are nowhere to be found on the shelves. Even with the librarian’s help. And especially when you’ve made a special trip to get them. #firstworldauthorproblems

Not enough adults are understanding that they have to create moments of happiness in their lives. Find things to be excited about. Create plans to look forward to. Decorate the house during holidays. Make a playlist you only listen to on Tuesdays. Keep your favorite snacks

Or an author…

I get to go to the NCTE conference in Boston in November with the Library! Author and teacher friends: who going to be there? National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) #kidlit

No one does #liveatthelibrary like innovative, creative, super fun STEM teachers! #Einsteinfellows23! Teaching with the LC

“Woman who first spread Springfield rumor regrets it.” “I deleted the post. I was wrong. I messed up royally. I never meant to cause so much hate.” This woman has more courage than JD Vance. Please share this video far and wide.

This is a great example of a little known woman in science! Check out Sandra’s pb bio BREAKING THROUGH THE CLOUDS to learn more! #kidlit amazon.com/Breaking-Throu…

A little levity for the day.

📣📢📢#STEM #education programs should be grounded in the tenets of constructivism supported by the findings of three decades of cognitive science. Integrated STEM education occurs when • learning is viewed as an active, constructive process, and not a receptive one #iTeachMath

I’m Jessica, a current Einstein Fellow and formerly an elementary science specialist. Google calendar and Google Drive were my go-to tools to stay connected between school and home. #einsteinfellows24

Over-the-shoulder observation and conversation was a mainstay in my classroom, particularly when students were working on a task in their science notebooks. I’d carry a clipboard and keep running notes to refer back to later. #einsteinfellows24

This couldn’t be more true!

I’m excited to share that I have an article in the latest issue of NSTA’s Science and Children journal! I share strategies I use to advocate for science as a classroom teacher. #EinsteinFellows24 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Definitely food for thought at all levels.

Just a few pictures I took on our visits to the Geography & Maps and Prints & Photographs reading rooms of the Library of Congress. Getting personal tours of the spaces and collection highlights is a huge perk of being an Albert Einstein Fellow at the Library! #EinsteinFellows24
