📚👍 So many good books. #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebooks Millie Fleur's Poison Garden Christy Mandin @christymandin.bsky.social This is a top book for me. Wednesday-Adams-ish in cute gardener form. I would plant all of these plants. They are adorable!

Did you celebrate Arbor Day this week? Trees do a lot for us. They help cool things down, absorb carbon dioxide, and keep soil from washing away. Check out this conversation from last year on how—and where–trees make a difference in cities.

How Trees Keep D.C. And Baltimore Cool

Satellite technology—and community outreach—can help harness trees’ cooling power for city residents.

Students observed abundant hoverflies on our flowering mustard plants in the school #garden, our second most important #pollinator behind bees. Students also learned about their use of mimicry to avoid predators. #EduSky #STEM #outdoorlearning #ScienceEd

My student and I built this crane using @strawbees.bsky.social and two radio-controlled micro:bits. The biggest challenge was keeping my student still while he was wearing the armband. His excitable cheers and dances really put the crane through its paces! @microbit.org #STEM #EdTech #Edusky

Aren't these great? A teacher in our #STEM group wanted to know where her class could get a personal Minecraft avatar for a project - I showed her these, and included the prompts for her on CoPilot. #EduSky #EduSkyPrimary @edusky.bsky.social @msftcopilot.bsky.social

“Biology Rising” in my solarium made of hundreds of hand-pulled monotypes on tissue paper, dipped in beeswax. Reminds me of Volvox, freshwater algae that form daughter colonies in their mother cells, and collaborate to move towards the light to survive #sculpture #installationart #science #STEM #art
