The weather's too nice for me to stay holed up in the windowless, subterranean science office at my school, so I packed up my computer and headed out to my outdoor classroom. The life of a #biologyteacher can be pretty sweet sometimes.

(Shhh. I'm not actually doing school work. I'm working on revisions to a short story. It's fine. No one else is around to see. 🤫✍️)

Took my AP Bio students outside for the first day of a three week long entomology project that involves creating an insect collection.

They were reluctant until we got out there w/ the nets & collecting jars. Then, the thrill of discovery (and the hunt) took over. By the end of the period, they were openly excited.

Mission accomplished.

A “present” left on my desk today by a colleague who really gets me. 🐮👁️🥰
