Thinking real hard today about how many of my favorite memories happened when I was surrounded by nature, and all the things I can do to keep that nature thriving 🌎#EarthDay #EnviroEd

Just popping back by to share some 3rd grade #EarthWeek adventures! Nature & me simile poems, seed paper cards made from our own recycled paper, five senses nature scavenger hunt, and of course, lots and lots of #learningoutside!!! Happy #EarthDay! 🌎🌳🍃

Done all the prep I can. Now it’s time to take a step back and see where the kiddos take us 🌈 Happy #FDOS!!! (A special thank-you to @LisaTho421 for introducing me to the sweetest #FDOS book out there 🥰)

Hey, Twitter—been a minute. One week from today, this bright & joyful classroom will be filled with third graders!! Can’t wait to see how they make it theirs 🌈

Handed Ss some shapes and asked them to classify all the shapes in at least 3 groups, using any rule(s) they wanted. Probably my fave answer: shapes that fit together, shapes that form a bird, shapes that form an arrow, and shapes that look like video game buttons. Brilliant!

(thanks @KatieAGPhelps for the inspo 👀 it turns out that a math activity can become a literacy activity!)

Happy #EarthDay! Sometimes getting to know the Earth starts with getting to know one square inch. Had the biggest smile on my face reading Ss’ myths and legends from their square inch worlds!!! #enviroed #eloned

Any #enviroed folks know what this might be? My students found it on an oak tree during our nature walk this morning and are thoroughly curious (as am I!)

Be sure to follow everyone who participated in the #ElonEd chat this evening!

Feeling super jazzed to go into #EarthWeek and uncover curriculum outside with my students all week long. Thanks, everyone! #ElonEd

Thank you SO much for participating in tonight’s #ElonEd chat! The next chat is on 5/2/21 and will be co-moderated by @kimvanarun and @MaddieWalter12!

A7: Time!! When we stop thinking of #enviroed as "extra" and start viewing it AS curriculum, we will have plenty of time in a school day to be environmental educators. #ElonEd

A6: "If we want children to flourish, we need to give them time to connect with nature and love the Earth before we ask them to save it." -David Sobel, Beyond Ecophobia #ElonEd

Q6: How should teachers navigate investing students in the environment without centering overwhelming and often debilitating fears of climate change and environmental destruction? #ElonEd

(Feeling a bit starstruck that @TheNAAEE is participating in our #ElonEd chat 😮)

A5: Make the conversation about students' own communities. Where do you see injustice in your world? How is this injustice impacted by climate change and the environment? #ElonEd

@abbideckeredu And due to this, the important conversation of sustainability and equity doesn’t begin until too late, because the people with the power aren’t being impacted. #ElonEd

A4: The communities most impacted by climate change are not the white, wealthy ones. #ElonEd

Q4: To what extent do you think sustainability and equity are related? #ElonEd
