Mom and Dad are headed home after their Red Cross deployment leading a great kitchen crew in Gonzales, LA. They are ready to be home for some rest, relaxation, and cooler temps! @mnredcross@RedCross#HurricaneIda#HereIAmSendMe
Update from Dad and Mom: "Day two 2800 meals out by 10:00 in 12 ERV’s. Still the only kitchen operating in the area. Have some feeding routes. Roads are opening and some utilities coming on. Thanks for the kind thoughts and words." Kitchen by Texas Baptist Disaster Relief
Update: Dad's at the first kitchen to open, at Ascension Baptist, Gonzales, LA. Mom set up the Situation Room with computers, printer, two way radios and supplies. Dad's amazing at meeting people and mom keeps things running smoothly. Keep the encouragement coming❤️ #HurricaneIda
Update on Mom and Dad: They got to meet up with some friends from Fargo❤️They are headed to LaPlace, LA tomorrow morning. (300 mi from Houston 30 mi west of NOLA) @RedCross asked mom to be kitchen ERV coordinator and dad to be yard supervisor. ❤️ #HereIAmSendMe#HurricaneIda
It was my first day teaching in person at @NorthCentral_MN and I LOVED IT!!!!! Getting to work with aspiring Math teachers is so life-giving! And this campus is so beautiful. #iteachmath
Mom and Dad have made it to Louisiana. They are being diverted to Houston so the ERV can be checked and assigned to a kitchen. They will most likely be deployed on Wednesday. @mnredcross @RedCross https://t.co/nJvWE2LvYN
Louisiana, my Mom and Dad are on their way to help! I can't even tell you how proud I am. If you pray, please pray for safe and healthy travels. That they would be so filled with love, patience, strength and grace that it would overflow to everyone they come into contact with.
I'll be doing a free webinar for math teachers on Sept 17th at 5 pm Pacific. I'll share three strategies to uncover and fix hidden student misconceptions that work whether you're teaching in person or online.

@KMoVikings They are both great depending on the context. I like GimKit for the extra options in types of games. They can go longer and still keep kids engaged. Kahoot keeps attention for about 10 questions.
@BethanieB2021 @MrTomRad Print rosters with photos as soon as you have access. (In my system, that means making a "seating chart" in alpha order) The photos are a year old and you'll be missing some, but they help know what many faces will look like and the names they belong with when you meet.
