@CookOut Does @CookOut sell gift cards? I stopped to buy a $50 card and the Winchester, KY store said they don’t sell them. Sounds crazy in 2025.

To Me, KEDC GRANTS IS the best way for teachers to bring real, usable strategies, techniques and content knowledge to the classroom to have major positive impacts on students. @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic

@CNN10 Teacher here, can no longer insert CNN10 into my daily Google Slides. Please fix or I’ll have to switch to the other guy.

@maineteacher @datadill Got both of mine Thursday and so far so good (other than a tad sore on one arm). 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@MarkJWestpfahl Two weeks ago we sent out 5th grader to school when she felt like complete crap (but no fever) because neither me or my wife had a sub pick up our absence. Horrible parenting but I just hate putting so many people through having to cover (in addition to sub plans, etc.).

One of my colleagues asked students to draw a Halloweenish pictures of teachers. Here are a few that were delivered to me. #halloween2021 #teacherlife @AspireKy @SocStudiesFCPS

Had such a fun time today hearing students present their Revolutionary Era song parodies (a la Mr. Betts). They did an amazing job! @SocStudiesFCPS @AspireKy

Are your high school kids acting like middle schoolers? Middle schoolers acting like elementary kids? If so you’re not alone. Socially & academically many students are 1.5 yrs behind where they “should” be. It’s not your fault. Don’t give up. This year is a marathon not a sprint.

Today I “found” a note students had passed in class. Turned out to be a breakup note…kinda like what Jefferson wrote in 1776. Hmmmm….(Kids went crazy reading it!) @SocStudiesFCPS @AspireKy

Today our students turned into detectives trying to crack the case of what really happened at the Boston Massacre. Inquiry + Hands On = Great Engagement @SocStudiesFCPS @AspireKy

One of my favorite lessons - Kings M&Ms (or in COVID times, Tootsie Rolls). Students were assessed taxes representing British taxes on colonies & had to pay candy tax. They didn’t like having their candy taken away…know they know what April 15 is like! @SocStudiesFCPS @AspireKy

@oliviakrauth Not to mention if you teach a grade that is only tested every few years (like social studies in 8th grade), teachers don't know if missed questions were from 6th, 7th or 8th grade content. Can't fix a hole if you can't identify the leak.

@SocStudiesFCPS EJ Hayes 8th grade social studies students were presented a plaque from Mayor Gorton declaring this Constitution Week in Lexington. Each student at the presentation received a pocket Constitution courtesy of Daughters of the American Revolution. @AspireKy

Anyone know of any classroom grants for dehumidifiers? Things are literally falling off my walls.
