💕My granddaughter brought this book home from school today. I’d never seen it!

🐇If you are an educator, especially my #STEM friends, this is a great book to teach about the emotions you feel when your build doesn’t go as planned! SO GOOD!

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.

Science is meant to be experienced!
