New #audiobook hashtag alert! Here I am, enjoying Amy tell me about time travel, while #audiomockrockmaking. Don't worry -- you read it right! Just another spring break day in the life of a teacher, mixing up a batch of mock rocks for my students to investigate as part of our earth science unit when we get back. Pretty fun to make, actually! 🤓 #sciencerocks #getit #teachersofLitsy
julesG Wish I had had you as a teacher. #sciencerocks indeed! 7y

asiriusreader @ramyasbookshelf mostly common stuff--flour, salt, sand, some gravel and mini oyster shells, food coloring. I just found a copy of the recipe here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/tpsciencefun.wordpress.com/2013/10/14/making-mock-s... 7y

hermyknee Do you teach elementary or middle school? 7y
asiriusreader @hermyknee I teach elementary--4th grade! What level do you teach? (I just saw your Thursday glass of wine post! 😂) 7y
hermyknee I teach all levels of high school ESL- so I have kids from 14 to 19 and so many languages - Spanish, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Japanese, Farsi / Persian, Chinese, Arabic, and so on. Teenagers are teenagers in every language. 7y
asiriusreader @hermyknee whew! Quite the job! And so right about teenagers...that's why i went for the younger guys. Although they come with their own set of challenges 😉 7y
hermyknee Yes, Please! is such a good audiobook! I hope you enjoy it!! Helping other people's children learn how to be human is tough regardless of age. It takes a village. Seriously. Maybe more. (edited) 7y
asiriusreader @hermyknee I'm loving Yes Please! I adore Amy Poehler. And you said it!!! It takes a village...a city even! 😉 7y
