Gushing About My Recent Experience on the Nurturing Parent Podcast
Lisa Sigurgeirson Maxx and I have been following each other on social media for years. So when she asked me to be on her podcast, of course I answered that I would!
First, I needed to research her podcast. I found that it’s full of advice given in a very gentle way; it readily acknowledges the messiness of child rearing and mistakes, but you won’t find any admonishment for that. I was already “sold” on Lisa, but didn’t previously know her co-host, Sareena. Newer-to-motherhood Sareena is at once calm and curious, excited and soothing. What an enviable combination of traits!

I love getting organic feedback about my teaching (like the podcast noted above), and one of my regular students reminds me of my excitement when we see various creatures. They shout out various organisms when we seem them, like, “Turkey Vultures! Dragonfly! Coyote! Cows! Hawk!” Such as it is with a perennial group favorite, “Dark Eyed Juncos!!!” Check some out:

Inspiration and Resources
”Symbiotic Schoolyard”
Janneke Petersen recently contacted me. She’s made a fantastic, well-priced, effective science/ecosystem curriculum called Symbiotic Schoolyard. It looks fantastic for those of you who are teaching at traditional schools.
“Fire Season Safety”
I’ve been seeing a lot of folks in the North and East seeking resources on what their programs should do during fire season. Here’s a resource I put together based on the experiences we’ve had over the last several years in California:
“Pogo Park”
As it so happens I just ran into Toody, getting lunch at the same place today as I was with my husband. She was telling me that she’s still doing Pogo Park, which is a totally amazing park right in Richmond. She said that today they were having horses and ponies and that there would be a carnival and popcorn next Friday afternoon. I told her I’d have to let everyone know about it! Here’s the calendar:
