A1: Bryanna Jackson from Corpus Christi,TX; I have been done with school since June 1st but have been working on curriculum writing all month! #scitlap#READ5305
A2 Recently coming to terms with this new obsession/addiction. I am reading books, participating in book studies, joined the #ditchbook tech group and the #hive summit, and going to Googlepalooza! Yee haw! #scitlap
A3: I did with some fifth graders this year a lesson on acceleration and the physics behind water slide designs. They really enjoyed the activity. We watched videos. Read an article. And drafted different designs #scitlap#read5305
Hi Sharyl, thrilled to death you are here! Just jump right in, you won't believe how nice and helpful everyone here in the Twitterverse is!!!!! #scitlap
Yes we actually just had a new water park that opened up here and though I didn’t get to take them myself many of them talked about going! #scitlap#READ5305
A5 Been thinking of sending a few postcards to Ss. Not sure how to pick who tho. Keeping in touch with a few since they are competing in #esports this summer. #scitlap
A5 I will stay in touch with students through Instagram. I want to use @flipgrid to meet incoming students. Now just to figure out how to make that work. Hmmm. #scitlap
A2: I am doing a lot of Googling for tutorials on things I'd like to try, like a digital escape room challenge, and hoping to sign up for a free Project Wild workshop. #scitlap
A6 I get emails on my phone. No escape. I go in a few times during the summer. Unpacking science equipment takes time. I also plan lots from home. #scitlap

A6 I have a mixed school/summer relationship. I feel during the summer my primary goal is to spend time with my husband, but I do check my email throughout the week. I plan here and there. I go back a little earlier to begin getting ready.
A6: I usually have no escape. Either going in or planning from home. This summer I’m basically working it all. Curriculum writing and PD presentations #scitlap#teacherlife#read5305
It's always happening our brains someway. You can take the teacher out of the school, but you can't get the school out of the teacher. It's good, I think as long as there is balance. #scitlap
A4 #scitlap We vacation in an area with a landscape developed during the last glacial period & whenever we hike I point out the transgression-regression series in the rocks of the gorges....
A6) I'm a hybrid of the first 2. My turtle stays at school so I go every 2 weeks to check on filter/food situation. I carried my #EDUProtocols book to the beach with me last week. I spend time on blogs/podcasts/books. #scitlap

I have never heard of this. Thanks for sharing!
I have recently read articles discussing the benefit of gaming. Some people assume gaming has no benefit, but they can when purposefully implemented.
A8: I tried this recipe- not really summer, but a game changer in my house! We used fruit pie fillinghttp://www.yammiesnoshery.com/2016/10/racine-pecan-kringle.html #scitlap
Thanks everyone - I seriously love this PLN. I'm always inspired by all of you!
Interested in hosting? Have a great theme or topic? Let us know!
Due to our summer schedule and 4th of July, our next chat #scitlap chat will be July 11th!
A3) I'd have students use Padlet or something (flipgrid, apparently) to post a selfie doing some science in the summer! Also, track sunrise/sunset times in various vacay spots #scitlap
