Didn't know automated rejection emails were so expensive and polluting 💵

@omi I used your idea today in class! I didn't have layers but I made playdough balls in three different colours, each with a dinosaur inside. Didn't have time to let them dry, but the kids loved making dinosaur tracks and impressions afterwards in the soft dough.

They took their excavated dino to a station to find a matching picture, and learn their dinosaur's name. Next they put their dino picture on a chart in the Triassic, Jurassic or Cretaceous row, depending on the colour of the dough! It was great fun!

@poswald ooh that looks fun! Might take a while to print enough for a whole classroom. But could be a good activity station among others!

@gary_bbgames that's a good idea! Challenge is finding some that are easy enough for 4-5 year olds to do in a short time... I might test one on my daughter first!

Any recommendations for activities for a class of 4-5 year-olds? Visiting my daughter's classroom in a few weeks to talk about , but coming up short on ideas! I have access to and laser cutter if that helps... 🦖🦕

Another #introduction post for all the new Twitter people (and just new people in general!). A little about me: I’m Sabrina - I’m a #writer (some #scicomm) and #author of #ScienceFiction (and #ClimateFiction and #dystopian) #books - my series Aestus was on the Amazon hard #scifi bestseller list recently. 😊 I also do #archery and #photography and enjoy #hiking - I would love to get into #astrophotography. I am learning #German and really enjoy good convos/coffee/tea. Sry for so many hashtags 😅

Just seen on Mastodon that the Sony/BMG royalty dispute means Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You up" is now blocked globally on YouTube. Playing just yields a "blocked in your region" message.

Absolute end of an internet era. 😔
