Merry Christmas from Nature!
Have a holly, jolly... Christmas tree worm? These worms are super festive. Christmas tree worms are burrowing worms that live inside corals. Their "tree-branches" are actually feather-like tentacles! bit.ly/2PTmaE9

"Children who get their hands “dirty” in the garden, will not think of the dirt, but of the soil and the experience of being involved in hands-on work. Dirt washes off, yet the experience rarely fades..." childrenandnature.org/2019/0… @ChildrenNature @persiluk #dirtisgood #playmatters

The Bell Museum is amazing! Check out their outreach educators as well.
Not only did I get an up close and personal tour of the amazing collections @BellMuseum, but learned teachers can get specimens on loan! What?! I'll be submitting my request today !bellmuseum.umn.edu/specimenl… #Science

What do you do when your principal brings you a frog she found on her window? Introduce it to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade Ss, ask lots of questions, and find some answers! #westernchorusfrog @rvesnews @eduReknoy
