[LTER-education] Schoolyard Book Series in the time of COVID 19

[Scott Simon]

Hi All,

I am not sure what each of your situations is at your site.  I have to come
in daily to take care of the animals at the REEF.  I am going to be putting
together some "REEFside Chats" for some of the schools we are working with
for the teachers to use to keep their kiddos engaged.  A couple will
address the science content panels in our Kelp book.  Marty's email made me
think how cool it could be if we could get the Schoolyard Book authors to
do a reading of their book online?!?!  If the Kelp Forest authors can't do
it, I'm down with doing it at the REEF!

I LOVED Jill Haukos reading at the ASM in Monterey!

Just a thought...

Stay Happy.  Stay Healthy,

Scott
