The title doesn't do this article justice; it's an insightful piece about leveraging students' religious traditions and holidays as teachable inclusive opportunities. learningforjustice.org/magazine/favor…

Reflecting on experiences and talking about them together supports our acceptance of new ideas and more sophisticated understandings. #natureplay #earlyscience

Great discussion on NAEYC’s Hello: “SCIENCE PLAY- What does it look like and how can we support it?”hello.naeyc.org/communities/co…

*admin* TY Denver Public Schools Science for a week looking at systematically implementing curr/inst at district level! This week, welcome Phaedra Taft, an elementary sci coach in CT. Excited to bring another freshman tweeper to the account to engage with this month. Looking forward to it!

What kind of problem solving do your #Prek students do in the #sandbox? So many possibilities for appreciating the properties of matter while making #engineering design choices! #foundationalexperiences

Just received my advance copy of this groundbreaking infant and toddler STEM book edited by expert NAEYC EC Science colleagues Beth Van Meeteren and Sherri Peterson! And yes that's my recommendation on the back cover along with Peggy Ashbrook and Shelly Counsell!

Children learn so much about the diversity of plant life and the different structures that plants have when they have some opportunities to explore, touch, and pick. (Yes *my* garden suffers many losses to the toddler’s exploration) #OutdoorLearning NAEYC EC Science

Early childhood educators, this report is for us and upper elementary educators! NAEYC EC Science NAEYC

What explorations of light and shadow have been most engaging and enduring for your young children/students? #phenomena #earlyscience

A great resource for learning about #weather and measuring precipitation in particular. Even for #preK and #kindergarten!

In #ECE we may steer children away from arguing but “Engaging in argument from evidence” is one of the Next Generation Science Standards Practices of Science & Engineering. Children love to state how they know what they (think) they know ➡️great discussions/opportunities 4 oral language & reasoning.

Join us for our Preschool STEM Workshop Series, 2022-2023! 6th year! We're staying virtual-we've had a blast connecting people from all over the country. It promises to be an engaging series with NEW surprises and special guests. Register today! buff.ly/3y3TWOa

Thanks to the shade of the forest & Mother Nature's "fan," the heat didn't stop us from having a great 3 hours of camp. Picture: It's impossible to explore water with preschoolers without someone flooding their boot. 🤣

From an early age, children notice & appreciate patterns in the world around them. Patterns & sequences of different kinds begin to pop up all over the place, especially in the BOOKS they love. 4 Fun Books that Explore Math, Patterns, and Sequences earlymath.erikson.edu/4-fun-books-th…

The new vision for science education features a three dimensional view of learning. stemteachingtools.org/brief/41 #SciEd, #ScienceEd #STEMed, #NGSS #NGSSchat

Our next STEM Teaching Tools PD webinar for #NGSS is probably my favorite! (🤫) #NGSSchat ⚡️ We analyze different education scenarios to see how to build on the varied INTELLECTUAL STRENGTHS of each student as they make sense of #SciEd phenomena. ⚡️ Join us! tiny.cc/STT-July2022

At @ISD719CommEd Nature Adventures Camp the students were all about catching "grasshoppers." Upon looking closer they realized some looked different from others which led to learning about katydids and crickets.

Even infants explore phenomena! There is no age at which children begin thinking about their world and testing out their ideas. #earlyscience #ECE #STEMstartsEarly
