Welcome to the National Geographic Page!

Look Here for my capstone project and look here for blog post on National Geographic Spotlight 

I created this page to share the work I have been involved in with National Geographic and how the work is being woven into kindergarten. After completing micro-credentialing I learned a lot about service-learning and how this idea can be woven into the work we explore in and out of Kindergarten. 

As a National Geographic Certified Educator I am sharing the scientific thinking behind all of our work connecting to inquiry. The inquiry is part of the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) and the framework created by National Geographic. (Skills, Attitudes, and Knowledge)

These are the micro-credentials I completed related to service-learning.
