I love God, teaching HS math and computers, coaching, & St. Louis Cardinals. Enjoy baseball chatter and random quotes from my students. I'm with @poisonwilliam

@Budget @poisonwilliam @poisonwilliam @budget Now the charges are finally coming through for $500 over the original charges, up to and including charging us for an extra day when we returned the vehicle at 8:00 AM but it wasn’t submitted as returned until 10:22 PM. How awful is that?

Girl: Mrs. I! I drew you, but then you like turned into a Southern mom with your hair...
Me: Higher the hair the closer to God?
Girl: YES. Like that. I don't know what happened.

Girl: Can you help me with part B?
Me: You're going to hate it.
Girl: Okay?
*15 seconds later*
Girl: That's it? That's so easy! I do hate it! You were right!
I love when my students feel like a complicated, real world application problem is easy. Math application is the best!

I ugly cried through so much of this. ⚾️❤️

Adam Wainwright, addressing his "catch partner" Yadier Molina in front of a sold-out crowd, before he heads to the bullpen to warm up, chokes up and pauses.

"I'm going to miss you the most."

Today I had a student completely forget how to factor on his final, so he solved everything by completing the square. I have never seen that before. Quadratic formula, sure, but completing the square??? #okaythen #hegotthemright

@MTLShow @fawnpnguyen @ddmeyer @lockhartedu @Amplify Loved this one. Thank you @fawnpnguyen!!! This is why I teach an all word problems class and have students of all abilities say, "Yeah, I do enjoy this math!"

Questions I didn't know I would ever have to explain as a math teacher: "Why there is a mason jar of pond water in your window and what is the little wormy thing in it?" #longstory #ILoveMyStudents

Someone please confirm this for me: a student from Spain doesn't understand mixed numbers but does understand improper fractions and decimals. I gave him -3 1/2 and he was confused. I gave him -7/2 and he immediately wrote down -3.5. Is this normal for students from Spain?

[Angela I @CardsChic]

Me: I'm not done grading your tests, but I feel like overall things are looking good for quite a few of you.
Student that always asks the question you wish they wouldn't: Was mine one of the good ones?

Me: Some of you guys need to make some major progress today because the next big project starts tomorrow.
Boy: YO MRS. I. Doesn't this class like take an off day?

First day of school! First day of school! I’m as ready as I can be after a crazy last couple weeks. Also, My three year old’s first day of preschool is Wednesday and I feel like I now understand both sides of this scene a little more. 😉 https://t.co/FAXxBWWoch

Waino doing Waino things, except tonight they include an 88 pitch shutout, which was the fewest pitches ever by a #stlcards pitcher in a shutout. You guys. He’s been my favorite since 2006 for a reason.

@C70 @scoobydeux I was indeed. So very thankful for that time and the people it introduced to my life!

[Angela I @CardsChic]

@Tom_Schlund Here’s hoping!! Thankfully I’m feeling relatively normal at this point. Hopefully I can sleep tonight!

Got my first Covid shot yesterday with the faculty. Those of us that had Covid in the fall all feel terrible today. Everyone else is like, "Oh this isn't bad at all." I'm just going back to my desk with my body aches and chills. No worries. #sigh

[Angela I @CardsChic]

@Tom_Schlund I hope that's how it goes for me, but you sound like the exception from what I've seen so far. Sorry you had it too!

[Angela I @CardsChic]

Today I have a student who has no F's for the first time since she came to our school over a year ago (and even before then), and we are all celebrating with her! #lovemyjob

Boy: I need to go to the bathroom to get the lead out of my eye.
Me: Lead? Like from a pencil?
Boy: Yeah. You see in English class I got bored and was stabbing my nose kinda with my pencil and the lead broke off and it's in my eye.

Just watched a student look right at me, then continue to flex his bicep to see the veins popping out. I feel like his test is going to go well. #lastdaybeforebreak
