Citizen science in Kenya this summer on an #earthwatch #elephantsandsustainableagriculture project. It's been 44 years since I was last in Kenya and it has been an emotional and wonderful experience. @Gwen_M_Thomas

“We admire elephants in part because they demonstrate what we consider the finest human traits: empathy, self-awareness, and social intelligence. But the way we treat them puts on display the very worst of human behavior.” – Graydon Carter.
Attended a Winos and Dinos event @TheDinosCompany in Allen. Fascinating! They make animatronic, scientifically correct dinos to loan or sell globally. Yeah, they let us sit on one too. Students would love this place! @Gwen_M_Thomas

ALT Photo of a young woman with curly, blond hair smiling as she reaches a hand out to a small boy with straight, brown hair. This boy and others are doing crafts at a table. On top of the photo are the words, "New! Roots & Shoots Educator Grants" and an icon of a megaphone.
Emotional and fascinating day at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum with the Region 10 STEM Cohort. #r10stem @Gwen_M_Thomas
Fun day yesterday cutting, hauling, and burning brush with UNT's #NASweethearts at Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area #LLELA. #PrairieRestoration. 2 Quotes of the day: (1) I feel like Paula Bunyon. (2) I love being a woman. This is so fun!

Awesome Jackson Faculty Follies!!
I am surrounded by so much talent at school. This was my first @Jackson_Vikings Faculty Follies. My comedic relief with Mr. Barnett starts late in the 29th minute. youtu.be/csCEUP9oAEk @DavidDunphy17 @szburt JTC is often imitated but never duplicated. @PeralesIda
Went to Sneed Prairie in Sherman today to collect native grass and flower seeds and came home with an interesting find.
Once a teacher, always a teacher. 😃 @Gwen_M_Thomas
The NYT's The Morning highlights disproportionate pandemic losses. Most teachers already know this, but the statistics are here to prove it. So discouraging. @Gwen_M_Thomas
In today’s morning newsletter for the @nytimes , Sarah Mervosh presents an excellent (and gloomy?) analysis on the impact of remote learning on K-12 students & how the impact was disproportionate across different demographic slices. Wonder if such studies have been done in India?

Wowsers! What a find! Have you browsed teachflix.org yet?
You can search for videos to use in your classroom that has been vetted. Did we mention there are filter capabilities within the search?
Crossing a huge threshold today. The next generation must be prepared for all the economic, environmental and social decisions that will be forced upon them. Feeling a bit blue today.

Princeton, TX - 1600 holes dug, trees placed and mulch spread. Tomorrow they will all be planted (with the help of several school groups). Feeling a bit sore tonight. @Gwen_M_Thomas
