Wow!! Look at that beautiful shark tooth @authorkelliebeggs.bsky.social! Some day I hope I can send you my JOURNEY OF A SHARK TOOTH picture book, Todd! Just need a publisher!😉
Awesome weekend of fossil hunting the Peace River. Over 200 shark teeth to go along with fossilized dugong, deer, turtle, horse, croc, gator and pufferfish bones. Also have a few chunks of ancient limestone seabed.

Timely insight from a veteran educator, @kcollazo.bsky.social, on the importance of integrating STEM concepts in the classroom, which go beyond the note-taking and worksheets.

It is AMAZING the things you learn when you’re doing research for your first chapter book! Even though it’s fiction.

I mean, how else will my main character know how to treat…

…Oh no you don’t!😈

Emersyn had to try out @lindsayamoretti.bsky.social’s tiny pumpkin boats experiment! She LOVED it!

Didn’t have acorns where we are so she used rocks. She made predictions and then tested various fun variables!
