It’s been a busy week in the Twitterverse for the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). Our favorite shout-out came from Science Friday, promoting great science books for kids; we were delighted to see one of our readers’ favorites on the list: Next Time You See the Moon!
Try reading some of these great science books to your kids tonight! http://t.co/MtKsl5HNOC pic.twitter.com/TsLCnpLiSE

Science teachers have an opportunity now to nominate themselves or a colleague for a prestigious position on our Board and Council, and if you missed the webinar mentioned in this tweet, never fear, it’s archived at the same link. Take a look, and consider one of the positions available!

And what better way to close out the list than with another book list, from District Administration, mentioning another of our readers’ favorites, NGSS for All Students?
