Took the kayak out today.

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

Today is my 35th wedding anniversary. Our Science Lab Chairs needs $369 to fund. $185 with the promo code FIRST. PLS RP. bit.ly/redchairsNES @wkamaubell.bsky.social @bonhanson.bsky.social @craignewmark.bsky.social @stephencolbert.bsky.social

It’s Easter. Happy Easter everyone. It’s also last day of spring break. Back to work tomorrow. One last piece of fun before going back.

Got one of the trellises up and ready in the school garden. That’s lettuce ready to harvest below it.

The three black pots are jade plants. It was all in one pot. I took time this week to split them out and repot.

We would love to get these red chairs for our science lab themed seating. $379 to fund. I was donor #1. Enter FIRST as the promo code and your donation will be doubled. bit.ly/redchairsNES PLS RP. @craignewmark.bsky.social @lesdoggg.bsky.social @bonhanson.bsky.social @craignewmark.bsky.social

This is my favorite pic from kayaking yesterday. These pelicans let me get really close.

This month’s second grade science lab lesson is on habitats. We are doing nature walks around the school. I was showing them a spot where Mediterranean Geckos have been laying eggs under a planter box. This is only the second time we’ve seen the adult gecko there. They were so excited.

Attention all traditional American allies: Regardless of the current hostility by the current administration, the bulk of America considers you an ally and values your friendship.

Mystery of the vanishing water.

Dear Americans: We, in Canada, are not boycotting US products, cancelling travel plans, and reorienting our economy towards other countries because of the tariffs, as annoying as they are. We are doing these things because our sovereignty is being threatened and our country disrespected. Period.

Exciting news!!! Another donation closer to funding my project.

Today’s school garden harvest was 2 pounds of red romaine lettuce and one pound of broccoli.

@lukelukeluke.bsky.social I teach at a school with just 2nd and 3rd graders. Our courtyard stays pretty dry.. 3rd grade is in their ecosystems unit and some had the misunderstanding that mushrooms are the only fungi. I found some in the courtyard but I wish it was a moister area with more variety.

I am a nyc teacher and would love basic school supplies. Please respost. Thanks www.donorschoose.org/donors/essen...

Today’s school garden harvest was 3.5 pounds of Kale and 5 pounds of cabbage.I’ve also sent the cafeteria manager a recipe that uses both kale and collard greens. @bonhanson.bsky.social

This month’s 3rd grade science lab lesson is on ecosystems and micro ecosystems. First stop is the fresh water aquarium and then on to the courtyard.
