@honeymoon250 Many times, as a kid

[Emily 🍎🌟 @EDUwithEmily]

Things that shouldn’t be controversial:

• being kind
• helping others
• respecting humans
• empowering all voices
• celebrating accomplishments

What If We Let Kindergarten Be Kindergarten Again?
I do not think five-year-olds should be taking standardized tests.
I do not think there should be any formal testing before they even know how to tie their shoes.

In fact, when we look at many high-performing countries around the world, formal academic testing does not begin in Kindergarten. Early years focus on development only!

What if our Kindergarten classrooms were built around:
• Play as real learning
• Projects instead of packets
• Stories instead of screens
• Outdoor time every single day
• Movement woven into the day
• Teaching kids how to handle frustration
• Teaching them how to share, speak up, and solve problems

What if we cared less about how fast they can read
and more about whether they love learning?
Here is what the research shows.

Children who build strong self-regulation early on are more likely to succeed later academically. They focus longer. They manage stress better. They bounce back from mistakes. They persist when work gets hard.

Those skills predict long-term outcomes more consistently than early decoding speed.
You can teach reading in first grade.
It is much harder to teach resilience, curiosity, and confidence once a child starts believing they are not good at school.

Five-year-olds do not need acceleration.
They need foundation.
Kindergarten should not feel like preparation for a test.
It should feel like preparation for life.
And that begins with joy, belonging, and roots deep enough to support everything they will become.

There are bigger things to focus on.

[Kam ✨ @PatsKam]

True Patriots fans still will love our team regardless of tonight’s outcome. We went from 3-14 to 17-3 and to the SUPER BOWL. I am so proud of these guys.

[Only In Boston @OnlyInBOS]

Boston is lit up for the Patriots tonight.

This is a photo of the Maye family in 2002. The Patriots had just won their first Super Bowl earlier that year. The baby in diapers and a onesie in this photo will be the quarterback for the Patriots this Sunday in Super Bowl LX.

The ADHD diet is just accidental intermittent fasting for 16 hours, followed by a meal that looks like a raccoon raided a pantry.

My body: "We need nutrients." Me: "Say no more."

I’m not the only one to say this, but something was broken in society during the Covid era, and it has never fully recovered.
