SOFT OPENING! Please check back frquently :)
We are very excited to announce that the Frog is back! Created in the late 90's, TGFN offered K12 teachers with free science and environmenal resources, including our student publications! Since times (and technology) have changed dramatically, we are proud to share that our return will reflect what teachers need today.
​​Our publications and teaching tools will include original classroom mini-teach presentations, corresponding student publications on a variety of science and social studies topics, ready to go lessons, and links to effective resources. To further engage your students, our materials will be accompanied by original drone footage and photographs!
​
We also provide consulting services. Drop me a note :)​​​

"Historian Carter G. Woodson launched Black History Week in 1926 to recognize the significant contributions of African Americans during the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and abolitionist/writer Frederick Douglass (February 14). Congress expanded it to National Black History Month 50 years later during the nation’s bicentennial celebration at which time then-President Gerald Ford urged the country to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history." -- US Census

FOCUS on Civics
During this month of 'Love,' and while celebrating Black History Month, we feel it's the perfect time to reinforce good citizenship, and overall kindness and respect toward one another.
14 Reasons Why Teaching Civics is Important Right Now​
"Teaching civics prepares students to be informed and engaged members of society. Students who experience high-quality civic education are more likely to complete college and develop employable skills (including communications and public speaking skills), vote and discuss policy issues at home, and volunteer and work on community issues."
