Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things. -Tom Petty

Seeing #EvilDeadRise tonight and Bruce-O-Rama tomorrow. Maybe the lifetime of Horror obsession will land me on stage with The @GroovyBruce .

@NicholasFerroni Dramatic inquiry for the last 3 weeks and until break. It’s changed everything for the better.

@10TV I’d be happy if my federal student loan interest rate wasn’t over 7%. Can we discuss lowering interest rates on federal student loans? Maybe everyone could be ok with that. Won’t cost people who didn’t go and will give relief to those who did. Just a thing to ponder.

It took 2 sumatriptan, 2 excedrin migraine, a sit on a bench til the sun went down, and some sheer determination, but I made it to @jimmyeatworld tonight. Beat my migraine just in time then jumped and scream sang all night. Come hell or high water I never miss them! #musicislife

@TeachMrReed I love number two for that first day of school when you haven’t heard names yet. Learning pronunciation before attempting to call the role is a great idea!

Matt's doing the thing where he goes through each streaming service we subscribe to sharing background information on why every viewing option is amazing, but deciding on nothing. #optionfatigue #nerd

@NicholasFerroni The classrooms in my school have glass doors and walls. The walls are meant to be opened up to the halls.

Still beyond impressed by this speech and performance of it. The rhythm, the meaning, and the writing deserve so much attention. So proud Salma -- If only I had your ability with words to explain! #teacherlife #graduation2022 https://t.co/Fk057vWfA3

Side effect of the quarantine period: I have a lil farm now. #urbanfarming #Summer2022

Last Student Council Blood Drive of the year today at Summt Campus Raiders! See you in the Hall of Champions this time. Seniors! We will have graduation cords dropped off by the @RedCross this morning if you donated 3 or more times in high school! @RHSOfficial_RCS @ReynSchools

New book to revamp my plans for next year! Centering the curriculum on "Identity" and "Civic Engagement", so it seems fitting to brush up on a few strategies while picking up some new ideas. #teacherlife #keepgoing #CRT #EnglishClass

@AdrienneBranden Write about social justice issues they feel connected to. Just aim for something they care about. In my Global Citizenship Essay, the focus is any international or global issue. Some students pick obvious things, but those who go personal astound me. #GlobalCitizen

The vibes in my classroom are as varied as my personality. #teacherlife

Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty if only we have the eyes to see them.

Revamped a project I used in 2016 for ELA 10. Students create 5 minute segments of an adaptation of King Lear and write proposals highlighting character choice and consequence to pitch their concept to a chosen film company. Best lesson ever. #teacherlife #rhetoric #film #writing

Sometimes the greatest PD is the teacher down the hall.
