While we didn’t tag any sharks this time, 14 truly special @palmspringsms STEMray students got to spend the day working side by side with incredible scientists and @ANGARIocean staff. Watching their excitement and curiosity reminded me just how lucky I am to do what I do. 🦈💙
Another great #CoastalOceanExplorers:Sharks expedition w/ @palmspringms and @STEMagillPSMS #STEM program students w/ @FIUCASE! We had an awesome day watching these #STEMraysSucceed in #sharkresearch onboard #rvANGARI. TY @MIAPBC #PBIBS Gives Back grant program for your support!

The @palmspringsms STEMrays were so excited to visit Manatee Lagoon today! 🌊🐋 We dove into learning all about classification and adaptations — and got inspired by the gentle giants along the way! 💙 #STEMeducation #STEMrays #ManateeLagoon

Today’s lesson: states of matter 🧊💧💨 Today’s shirt: dinosaurs as solid, liquid, and gas 🦖➡️💨 Middle schoolers don’t always notice the little things, but when they spot a puny science shirt and actually laugh at the joke… that’s a win for both science and teacher humor. 😅🧪

I’m beyond grateful for one of my former students who spent her summer painting a beautiful canvas for my STEM program. Having her artwork in my classroom is such a special reminder of the talent, kindness, and impact our students carry with them ❤️🎨 #STEMrays

The universe really does work in mysterious ways. Lately, I’ve been getting the sweetest thank you’s and check-ins from former students now in high school. 💙 It’s been so heartwarming—and exactly what I needed to be reminded of why this work matters.

Big thanks to @ANGARIocean & COE lead shark scientist @WillSampleSci for visiting our 8th graders @palmspringsms! 🦈 Students learned new concepts, reviewed key ideas, & those heading on the expedition even practiced hands-on measurements for their time aboard r/v Angari 🌊

It’s always unexpected but so appreciated to get little reminders of why I do what I do. 💙 Middle school can feel like the forgotten years, but the impact is real—even if the “thank you’s” don’t always come right away.

Did you know, 88% of success is mindset? That’s why today my @palmspringsms physical science students released their doubts and focused on positivity ahead of tomorrow’s statewide science assessment. They’re ready to shine! #MindsetMatters #ScienceSuccess
