I had so much fun completing this lesson with the 4th graders in @msvirtue7 class today for the ocean unit! We saw all different shapes and sizes of phyto and zooplankton. #CLESGRT
Our students were very excited to use microscopes to examine phytoplankton and zooplankton from Virginia Beach ocean water! @CLESDolphins @teacherkenney @jehaws @JessieComba #CLES #BetterTogether 🐬❤️ @msvirtue7 #4thgrade

INSPIRING presentation on animal cultures from renowned ecologist @carlsafina at Educators for Animals Conference today. After reading Becoming Wild for my humane education M.Ed program, it was an honor to hear him live. Much to learn from non-human animal lives. @ed4animalsconf – at Virginia Beach, VA

I feel so fortunate that I got to see two of my former @BrickellAcademy students in one week, & they are thriving. So proud of them & the paths they are on in life! This is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching. I did seem shorter to them then they remembered from 7th. 😂

Go VTFT Miss Lena! My @BrickellAcademy students loved these creative book club novel previews that I can use with students deciding on choice books for science fiction next year.
Loved visiting VTFT I Miss Lena in her 7th grade English class. Her cooperating teacher was thrilled with her interactions with students and the high quality literacy learning plan that she had developed. I enjoyed it, too! @GRHS_Stallions @grcollegiate @JessieComba @TCE_VBCPS
