Hi folks! It’s Megan, founder of The Community Classroom, popping in to say one thing:
✨ I LOVE MY JOB. ✨
- I love learning alongside kids.
- I love being silly.
- I love helping kids get excited about learning.
- I love working with the most incredible teachers.
And honestly? The weirder I am, the more kids connect—and that’s my favorite part.
So let’s be weird.
Let’s find joy.
And let’s learn together. 💛

💖🧪 Love is in the lab! 🧪💖
.
This is Megan, folks! We’ve been busy testing out our Love Lab: Valentine’s Day Science experiments at home—and let’s just say… science + hearts = SO much fun.
.
Cora and I spent the afternoon making fizzy heart reactions, experimenting with bath bomb science, and even cooking up some very realistic heart-shaped turkey mini meatloafs complete with “blood” (aka ketchup 😅). Science is better when it’s playful, a little messy, and shared together.
.
If you’re looking for Valentine’s Day science activities that go beyond crafts and candy, we just shared a new blog post full of hands-on ideas that build one of our favorite science skills: observation 👀💡
.
✨ Love Lab is hitting the road, too!
If you’re local, catch us tomorrow on WWLP News Channel 22’s Mass Appeal as we bring Love Lab to the studio!
