@cmccosky Now he just needs to pitch an inning to complete the Rogers Hat Trick

@mariagalanis Congrats

Hey teachers, want to feel old?

Next year’s high school students will include the class of 2030!

@blocht574 Every school I’ve been in has always made us take everything down so the walls could get cleaned… Not saying how many times they’ve actually been cleaned

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

I know it’s tempting and easier to take down all the classroom posters and pack everything up before the last day, but when kids walk into my exam today, there’s a comfort level in seeing the room the same as it’s looked all year.

@shirky17 It’s the opposite of inflation

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

I don’t know if my students liked me adding “days until school begins” to our countdown to summer

@BenisonMrs My Google Slides for teaching is a blank slide I can write on with my digital pen (& occasionally a slide with graph paper)
That’s the best type of slides because it allows for instant adjustments to any lesson & slows me down to writing speed, just like the kids taking notes.

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

@0Beanie05923291 Exactly! Same thing as bringing your own lunch vs getting takeout or lunch delivered, it’s the small choices we make every day.

Today was the final day of pre-Calc class, & I really tried to help them understand the gravity of it.
I made them solve one last question, showed them my work/answer to see if I was right, then had them close their book one last time & pull off the bookcover!

One last day of school…
But still taking empty cereal boxes to my classroom.

@fr8ordie Definitely! I’ve even had my students calculate if double stuf Oreos are really double…

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

Great discussion starter question…

@WillmarStingers Better all-around player: Roy Hobbs or Squints Palledorous?

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

@MichaelDollins Great lessons for every entrepreneur, innovator, and student.

@cmccosky And Tigers undefeated in June…

@shirky17 The parapro I was watching it with said her mom made her water the garden every day before school, and would stick her finger in the ground to see if the dirt was dry or moist to the depth of one finger. If dry, do it again and be late for school.

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

Hey parents, teach your kids how to water plants & trees.
Watched a young person watering new plants at the park next to our school, just misting the leaves and making the wood chips wet. All dry 5 minutes later.

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

@MsInnerfield And sadly, those plants are what will hopefully prevent erosion on that slope. Wasted money, wasted time if those plants die.

@missmac100 Classic scene.

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

My “book a month” goal for 2026 is still on track…
This month was an early 80’s book with interviews & behind the scenes from the best show on television

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

@botattack69 @0Beanie05923291 True. But if I did teach kindergarten, I’d apply the same principles… Color code, basic ideas, quick reference.

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

@Dadvsthealgo For the kids who do read, they’re gonna have a huge advantage going forward

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

Imagine if every high school student spent 100 hours reading this summer instead of 100 hours scrolling…
Imagine how much they’d learn...
Great stories, foundational history, inspiring biographies, science fiction becoming real, and all the vocabulary…
