Was just welcomed into the Compass Education team! What a great opportunity to share sustainability thinking with my colleagues and the greater community here in Europe. Thank you @Compass_Ed !
Just got back from the Odyssey of the Mind world finals with 7 middle school students and @katiemsmith10 . Was a fantastic week of competition, creativity, imagination, pin trading, and fun! Our teams were amazing and preformed top tier. 🤩

If you asked me a week ago have I started blogging I would have replied 'not yet'. Why not now?! timscarrott.com/1/post/2022/… via @weebly
G2 Ss making sense of the phenomena that their shadows change shape throughout the day. @FIS_School
Ss using random sampling by tossing an Earth ball to make claims (backed by evidence) about the amount of water on Earth. It was hard work and they did an amazing job! @FIS_School
Beautiful end to a beautiful week! How does the sun affect Earth? Let's take a walk and gather data to find out! G2

A cardinal rule of responsibility is to shield others from the suffering you endured.
Good parents refuse to dump their childhood baggage on their kids. Good leaders and coaches refuse to perpetuate abusive patterns.
You can choose to do right in the ways you've been wronged.

It's easier to admire resilience in others than to recognize it in ourselves.
We often underestimate ourselves because we see other people's outer strength, but not their inner struggles.
We all have doubts. Questioning your resolve doesn't make you weak. It makes you human.

Confirmed: Students took OSSE DOT buses to school and arrived without test results and then tested positive at school today. Bus attendants, drivers, nurses, teachers, staff, and students were exposed because of this today.
🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: @OSSEDC's DOT (the buses many students with disabilities ride) has no plan for Thursday when @dcpublicschools students need to test negative to return to school. Additionally, their staff "are not required to test negative to come back to work." 🧵

Ss geocaching with a Garmin eTrex 10, discovering how systems are connected through GPS. Mental models created and shared, demonstrating understandings and connections with @FIS_ES_Science @FIS_School
G2 Tinkering... Give them 5 items ("YES.. that's all you get") and see the imaginations at work. We have a person who made it to the top of Mt. Everest, a bee, Rudolf and Santa's sleigh, and a sensory card. Completely blown away! @AmandaNaimy @FIS_School

Continuing our inquiry into how the earth’s spheres interact, Ss collected soil samples and then examined them under microscopes. The excitement and wonder that came from what they discovered was so fun to experience. @FIS_School @FIS_ES_Science #naturalresources #geosphere
G5 studying traits; inherited traits and traits we acquire from our environment. We have looked at tissues to understand that our inherited traits are written in code within every cell of our bodies; and then we extracted strawberry DNA - an oldie but goodie. Love Doing Science
What would you build with these supplies? G2 Community Builders would build: airplanes, pools, puppets, dolls, fishing poles, cannons, elevators, and the list goes on.... I am always amazed at the creativity of these students! @NatalieRBain1 @FIS_School
