Tickled to share a couple episodes of @slowdownshow with my poetry students for the first time today and have them ask immediately if they get to listen to more #teachlivingpoets

[Ms. Hand @MsHandTeacher]

@FOX10Phoenix Seriously? What's the point?

[Ms. Hand @MsHandTeacher]

@alixabeth And as a side note, I've noticed they're especially appreciative of guests. They've clapped for candidates doing guest lessons and for peers from other depts who are surprise teachers for the day.

[Ms. Hand @MsHandTeacher]

@alixabeth Always. And every time, I love it.

Boys' tennis played some close matches against Evergreen on Friday. V lost 3-4 overall, winning with heart in 3 sets at 2s,2d and 3s. JV won 5-4 with David and Devrim sealing the victory with a 10-2 tiebreak. #GoMustangs @Dawson_School @dawson_mustangs

@JustinAion Yes. AND, perfect attendance awards are classist - don't take into account challenges faced by students who need to provide care for younger siblings or who rely on public transportation.
