When it’s 11 at night and you realize your students need an acceptable pen for tomorrow’s AP Lit exam! 😂

There is a guy on a jet ski wearing a @DetroitRedWings jersey and flying a Red Wings flag. #NHLOutdoors

Here’s my statement on today’s violence at the Capitol.

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

I’m always interested in who the “we” is when people say “this is not who we are”

[Jessy Thompson @JThompson1340]

Just imagine if someone would have had the audacity to kneel during the anthem, today!

I’m so excited to be back in my classroom! This year marks number fifteen! First up is an intense study of Kendrick Lamar’s “Damn.” album and David Foster Wallace’s “Consider the Lobster.” #considerthelobster #aplang #aplit #writingislife #read #readasamatterofselfrespect

This lobster roll has me ready to start AP Lang... if you know, then you know ;) #aplang

Your grandparents may have had to walk uphill to and from school, but my students took their AP exams in the middle of a pandemic! I believe in our youth! #youvegotthis #aplang #aplit

Vote.

You’ve got this!!!

[Jessy Thompson @JThompson1340]

Not sure who originally wrote this... But trust us, we’ve got this... and you do, too!

The building is closed. School and learning is not! Watch what my students and colleagues can do! We got this! #allinvikings

Today my classes discussed how to approach a poem Socratically as a way to discover which questions we need to be asking. We have to know what to ask before we can attempt an answer! #allinvikings #stilllearning

Internet must be considered a utility, not a luxury!

[Jerry McDowell @bluemcdowell]

#1 Thanks food service. #2 I hear, “How can we help with student learning?” My thought..put strong WiFi hot spots in public parking lots, dense housing (trailer parks & apartments), subsidize high-speed internet in low-income households. Do it tomorrow! It is an equity issue.

When you need a pick-me-up and your student messages you to say she’s been accepted into the Univ. of Mich! Congrats Karoline... And we’ll earned! #allinvikings

Students and teachers taking notes and discussing Edgar Allen Poe during a Zoom conference... your teachers are here for you!!! #doingMIPart #allinvinings

[Jessy Thompson @JThompson1340]

Touched base with face to face contact with about 50 students today through Zoom and another 10 through email. Now time to make a call list. #allinvikings #wearehereforyou
