Sending heartfelt gratitude to @DrBiden for the perseverance you’ve shown maintaining both your teaching job & the full responsibilities of an active FLOTUS over the past 4 years - a role model for us all.

Sometimes, like #butterflies, people or institutions need to go through metamorphosis. That the butterfly uses change for survival fuels my passion to protect their environment. From that students’ engagement in #science has grown.

Open doors to learning opportunities. Believe in the possibilities, regardless of the starting point. #AllMeansAll #PresumeCompetence #Literacy

If you’re seriously going to advocate for pollinators & their gardens, dress the part. #science #GSTA24

Returning to the Outdoor Learning Symposium as a speaker was as thrilling as my first time there as a teacher so long ago. Thanks Mike Kahle & all who planned OLS’23, & to all those involved over 2 decades for creating the “map” for my professional journey. #outdoorlearning

Another #CitizenScience opportunity for teachers and students similar to discussion topics yesterday in my presentation on Outdoor Science at #NSTA2023. What a great group of teachers to share my adventure stories in taking kids & science outdoors. Thanks to all who were there.

Collect observations of snakes, lizards, turtles and more with @HerpMapper. This project gathers and shares information about reptiles and amphibians across the planet. Your observations are valuable for research, conservation and preservation. scistarter.org/herpmapper?utm… #CitSci 🐸



What a beautiful sentiment! I echo this & hope my students also remember to spend time outdoors, to value the landscapes & the animals & plants therein… knowing their actions can impact local & global habitats. #teacher #Science #STEMed #environmentaled

Years from now, what do you want your Ss to remember? (Inspiration via T @JaimeChase17)

We’ve collected interesting facts about 10 kinds of #trees from around the world. 🌴 Use this #activity idea to present images and #ForestFriday facts to kids and have them create “tree profiles” to illustrate what they've learned! plt.org/educator-tips/…


#Pollinators are drawn to native Bee Balm in my garden, purchased at a local master gardeners plant sale. Do you have a pollinator garden at home or your school? What blooms are visited most frequently by the #bees, #butterflies, #bats, or #birds? Why certain plants?

Students need to see someone that looks like they do engaged in science inquiry. Teachers, take note! #NSTA #PLT #diversity #outdoors

What have we done today to encourage young people to care for the Earth? What have we done to reduce our own mark on the natural world, and will it be enough? #Earthday22 #Earth #Climate #science

Thank you for being there, & let me know how I can encourage your young scientists and their teachers.

Excited to be at @NSTA this week!! We’re kicking off strong with @bflyguy as we investigate STEM in our community and children’s books 🦋 #readalouds



Thanks to @NSTA Press, for allowing me to present as I celebrate 10 yrs of Bringing Outdoor Science In, & thanks to science teachers who listened to my butterfly stories & actively participated in my presentation. Grateful to be back in person. #NSTA22 #schoolyardlearning

Join #NSTAPress author @bflyguy for his session, "Books, Butterflies, Bugs, and Birds in the Schooolyard" at 9:30 AM in room 362C. #STEM #scied #NSTA22



From agriculture to science education, I am grateful that much of my work has been outdoors, & ever so hopeful for doors opening to new opportunities. Stay tuned in the months ahead, & get outdoors as winter ends & spring begins. #outdoors #gardens #migration

In my classroom teaching, I found this to be one of the least stressful & most highly effective learning experiences. The opportunity for kids to contribute data helps them understand how scientists work. Peggy is right…start talking about it this month. #GBBC

Get ready by talking with children about the birds they notice. Coming in February, the Great Backyard Bird Count #GBBC is a good way to introduce children to #CitizenScience. birdcount.org



From Chicago to Shanghai, from Buffalo to Baltimore, no friend has been more present, no challenge has been too great. Happiest of birthdays to my sister in science, @caroyce .

Such a great group of educators! It was both nostalgic & forward-thinking to share lessons learned thru telling my stories of taking citizen science, & STEM outdoors into the school yards of my state & the front yard of anAmerican First Lady.

Join us on Monday as we welcome @bflyguy and discuss taking our kids outside to investigate science. @sacredheartuniv

Teachers should make a starting salary of $60k, have all of their student debt forgiven, and it should be free of cost to attain a teaching degree. Teachers should be among the most valued in our society, not the least!
