I enjoyed seeing what everyone chose to do and why they felt it was important to them. Speaking about the community sciences to the MEEA conference, we were able to share our findings and interests with more educators who may use our information to implement in their lives. ]]> 2022-04-21 01:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/heidigettinger/dfva3u4zuu8ztu3/wish/2151257621 heidigettinger https://padlet.com/heidigettinger/dfva3u4zuu8ztu3/wish/2151258710 Puffy Paint Moon

National Pet Week can be used to talk about pets with children. If there is a class pet, this week can be used to dive deeper into the background of the class friend. Otherwise, this week can be used to encourage the understanding of pets either in the children's homes or pets they may know.

These activities can be used as fun experiments to encourage science and engage learners. Having an experiment day is fun to be creative and talk about science. Children benefit from the hands-on activities and using a learn as you go process.

This is a great resource to get some aid and find more information about the types of pets that you may or may not want in your classroom. They have an article to look over to see if your class is ready for a pet. There are many things to consider before getting a pet for the class, and being aware of them is the first step to having a caring classroom for a living animal. ]]> 2022-04-21 02:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/heidigettinger/dfva3u4zuu8ztu3/wish/2151286687 heidigettinger https://padlet.com/heidigettinger/dfva3u4zuu8ztu3/wish/2153037206 The padlet we added to as a class with topics including:
