So...what does my job as a special education teacher look like moving forward if there's no Department of Education?

@oldenoughtosay From the Midwest...they are both spatulas despite them having different purposes. 😁

@IrradiatedMouse …and it encourages kids to come to school sick. Not to mention kids who have to attend services for a family member who has passed away.

@RAMemeGuru Oh no! I hope he’s not ill. 😕

[Maura Whiston @WhistonHMS]

@AmandaGW Cleaning the toilet is a pretty straightforward job.

@heymrsbond Glad you had something easy! I have fluid trapped behind my eardrum and am about to to start a five day course of prednisone to see if the tube will “pop open”. Already made an appt with an ENT in two weeks in case it doesn’t work.

@MadiSP4321 I was able to see a dark purple blob in the sky with the naked eye, which then looked like this on camera.

@Karla_VBF Best thing I've done is plan meals for the week, then place an online pickup order for what I need. No impulse buys, and it's easier to "clip" the savings on the website than fiddling with an app @ checkout. Can make the order for whenever & set a convenient time to pick up.

@BGatesIsaPyscho I know in the 2017 eclipse in S. Illinois it took people triple+ the amount of time to get anywhere. So, yes, you need a full gas tank if your three hour trip turns into a nine hour one.

[Maura Whiston @WhistonHMS]

@JayWamsted Mine does this too!! WHY….he has adequate socks!

[Maura Whiston @WhistonHMS]

@jmattmiller Not sure because I’m home with strep for the first time since like, 1992.

[Maura Whiston @WhistonHMS]

@IGoBySteve multiple times!

@historyinmemes I 100% remember having a paperback book for Nintendo's Super Mario Bros 1-3 and it had all the hints and tricks like this. Helped me beat all three games.

[Maura Whiston @WhistonHMS]

For #nationalreadaloudday I read to our ELA class from the @LoisLowryWriter classic "The Giver". They enjoyed being the audience in the Ceremony of Twelve while I was the Chief Elder. Have lost count of the number of times I've read this book 😁

[Maura Whiston @WhistonHMS]

@RubyJudge I work with a great staff in a well funded district. Both of these factors make the difficult job a bit easier.

@teachergoals Fell on the ice and have a concussion, so, not great!
