@NorthernDagger1 @andrewmead73 When there's no brackets, don't you process the power first? (-22)²=484, but -22² defaults to -(22²), or am I mistaken?

[Mr. Letkeman @MrLetkeman]

@andrewmead73 At least that temperature is possible. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Manitoba could get a wind chill factor lower than absolute zero.

It's an #ILovetoReadMonth edition of #LetkeReads! Last weekend I finished 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐴𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑜 𝑀𝑢𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠 by @Cmdr_Hadfield. It was intriguing and insightful! More than a stereotypical US=GOOD | THEM=BAD international thriller. Recommend you give it a read!

"What am I reading you ask?" I ask, knowing you aren't wondering that, but wanting to have some sort of a segue into a new segment/hashtag/recurring series of tweets where I share what I'm reading and what I'm thinking about my reading using memes. Welcome to #LetkeReads...

[Mr. Letkeman @MrLetkeman]

It's time for another edition of #LetkeReads! This week with my grade 9s we've started reading 𝐴 𝑀𝑖𝑑𝑠𝑢𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑟 𝑁𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡'𝑠 𝐷𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑚. They are going to be using memes to showcase their understanding of the play. Here's one of my thoughts on Act 1.

One of my students hopes to get into Pysch Nursing and would like to hear about your experiences in the pandemic to form the basis of their APA research paper.

As we're rocketing to the end of semester, my grade 12s are, once again, working on projects individually tailored to help them take their next steps out of high school. Follow this 🧵to see what they're doing.

@andrewmead73 I'm not.

Thank you, @Koyczan, for words encouraging us towards hope, resilience and compassion!
