Clermont, GA

For 30 years, They called me "Ms C" in the classroom. Much like Ms Frizzle, I was a hands-on science/social studies teacher in 3 Georgia public school systems. I taught in the style of David Attenborough & developed a unit uniquely mine, called "Life on Earth". Today, I am CiCi, Grandma to the greatest kids on Earth. 10 years into Retirement, my projects include 1) an illustrated map of My Big Backyard, with all the plants, animals, fungi, protists, bacteria, & archaea in the right place. 2) Bugguide Genus species names 3) A pollen study 4) Development of Yarn Theory, which attempts to explain interconnectedness & 5) A kick-ass YouTube Channel. I find great joy & peace hunting and naming the organisms I see behind the lens of my Sony RX100 VII and under an old student microscope. With the help of Bugguide, I made a picture book of "Bugs & Their Plants", which I share with friends & family. For the first 4 years of retirement, I recorded, named, & recreated 3,500+ water bears for the fun of it. International Tardigrade hunter #346, I am. My Facebook educator page shared 180 days of education with CiCi from August 2022-June 2023. Today, I continue to upload videos to YouTube & Facebook. Thank you volunteers, for studying my pictures.
