I am a 5th grade history teacher at an independent school in the heart of Houston, TX.

15 years ago, Zack Greinke left the Royals to undergo treatment for social anxiety.

Since then, he's won a Cy Young, made 7 All-Star teams, won 7 Gold Gloves & 3 Silver Sluggers, and pitched in 14 post-season series.

We all need to take mental health as seriously as he does.

@BonesTC27 Nope, nothing else going on right now.

Today @robshouston 5th grade learners are creating candidates and running for president on @icivics. They must strategically choose which states to spend time and money on. This has helped solidify their grasp of the electoral college and the process in general #winthewhitehouse

Social Studies teachers! Teaching the election? Then, make sure to make @icivics collection of up-to-date lessons, activities, and game-based learning about all things voting, elections, and the presidency, a part of your curriculum!! You and your students will be glad you did!

@jaredcwilson That is not to say that finding time for just you and her isn’t an absolutely great thing to do, but having that daily foundational interaction is going to be what ensures a long lasting connection.

@jaredcwilson I would put money on my daughter responding with our everyday chit chat to and from school more than when I specifically reserved a block of time to do something together. They want and deserve to be an essential part in our everyday life as opposed to a date on a calendar.

@mrs_frommert This is one of those things I keep telling myself I should experiment with. Even if to just give instructions for my Zoomers at home to get started with their warm up in OneNote until I start the meeting.

[Austin Rogers @MrRogersUS]

@MsBattersbyBCPS Totally do this. Any time I tell myself that I will check my Outlook tasks or iPhone notes I never actually do. The only thing I KNOW I will see again is my email inbox. Some may see it as weird, but the system works for me.

@Lindsee_Lou I’m enjoying it. Sometimes it is more fun to be the bad guy. That being said, our players that cheated deserve the heat they are getting.

Planning online lectures? This is a little mind-blowing. Students engage less with longer vids; not so surprising. What's surprising is it's "less" in *absolute* terms, not just relative terms: 6min vids get ~5mins of attention—but >12min vids get ~3mins! https://t.co/nnHWMmQDQB

@DemocracyAndEd But we definitely need more cool hipster guys vaping right?
