I had never truly understood the difference between a guess and an estimate until Andrew Stadel broke it down using the context of a ketchup bottle. SPOILER: clear bottles make a difference

@MrsPete23 “Thank You” notes seem to be a forgotten gesture. I spent a decent amount of money on wedding gifts and then later on baby gifts for a young colleague of my husband’s and nothing to show appreciation! So disappointed by this.

It’s a pandemic people!

✅ Students deserve grace
✅ Families deserve grace
✅ Parents deserve grace
✅ Teachers deserve grace
✅ Leaders deserve grace

It’s not the time for accountability, perfectionism, playing I gotcha, or one size fits all.

We all deserve grace!

Another valid point by Mrs Keeler. Something we ought to consider...

[Alice Keeler @alicekeeler]

Someone asked me this the other day and I said NO!

The short answer is no, absolutely not,"

I just learned a thing! I’ve done a lot with the master slide, but never this! If you put a video on the master slide, the kids can’t move or delete it, yet IT WILL PLAY & PAUSE IN PRESENT MODE! #tosachat #googleei #WeAreCUE

Distance learning gives flex seating a whole new name. We've learned in forts, at the kitchen table, in the backyard and now on a warm comfy bed on a cold rainy day. @MrKooymanEIS @EtiwandaSD
