Changes are happening quickly now, but still only on 1 piece of bread - Dirty Hands. Can you spot it? #WashYourHands #CAwow #engageD64

Of all the things we tested, dirty hands was the 1st to have visible mold growth. Students weren’t in school today, can’t wait to show them tomorrow, I’ve never been this excited about mold before! #WashYourHands #CAwow #engageD64

Germs are everywhere! Day 1 - In this experiment we used bread, like a sponge, to absorb germs from our hands and things we touch all the time. #CAwow #engageD64 #CAsmiles

A simple, yet important message for all kids to hear. Sharing this video (and a little piece of my childhood ☺️) with my class tomorrow! #CAsmiles #CAwow
On this day in 1968, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood aired nationally for the first time on NET, the precursor to @PBS. Fred’s message is still as relevant today as it was 52 years ago. Thank you, Mister Rogers, for believing that all children deserve quality educational programming!

Penguins have knees just like us, who knew?! We do now that we participated in a live webcast with penguin biologists @calacademy. We even got to practice our waddle! #CAwow #engageD64 #CAsmiles

Had to take a 1/2 day today, came back to school tonight to get some work done and found this left for me. Some days are harder than others, but little things like this remind me how lucky I am to have the best job in the world. #CAwow #CAsmiles

It’s not everyday I get notes like this from students. Love when they share their cultures and learning from outside the classroom with me! #CAwow #engageD64

Another successful “Carpenter Cares” gift drive! The Carpenter Staff donated gifts to bring joy to about 30 different children. The staff donated about $3000 worth of gifts! We certainly are the “Little School with a BIG Heart!” ❤️🎅🏻🎄 #CAWow #CAsmiles #engaged64

When was the last time you heard kids this excited to talk/learn about leafy greens?! Researching their @TowerGarden plants to learn about the health benefits, nutrients, and recipes they could make! @D64Elf #CAWow #engageD64

Can’t wait to have our @TowerGarden Tasting Party this Friday with all the greens we’ve been growing! #engageD64 #CAWow @D64Elf
If children grow leafy greens, children eat leafy greens!
