Today’s weather calls for comfort foods! Foods I made our infamous cheddar bay biscuits & Pastry Arts finished their homemade bread bowls and soup. Red kitchen went above and beyond with their sample for me and made a heart in it🧡🥹 I’m one happy teacher! @District128 @D128Union

Israeli communications minister Shlomo Karhi on Trump calling Hezbollah "very smart": It's "shameful that a man like that, a former U.S. president, abets propaganda and disseminates things that wound the spirit of Israel's fighters and its citizens."

Important to note in this new poll that parents as a whole are much more comfortable with the state of K-12 education than adults overall. 76% of parents believe their K-12 students are receiving a quality education vs. 36% of adults overall. https://t.co/L0acUYrLtp

Good Morning, Labor Morning

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

On Labor Day, take a moment to appreciate the workers who have helped make America what it is today. Their grit, determination, and hard work over decades have changed our country for the better.

Today we also recognize the American labor movement that has fought tirelessly to improve the wages, benefits, and working conditions for people everywhere. I’m proud of the work they’ve done—and still do—to put the American dream within reach.

Earlier this week we opened the Wildcat Stock Exchange in Personal Finance! Students switched off between being buyers or sellers of Apple stock and were given different scenarios based on supply/demand. Who knew learning about investing could be so fun?! @D128Union @District128

[Public Funds Public Schools @pfpsorg]

The notion that it costs less to educate students with publicly funded private school vouchers than it does to educate them in traditional public schools ignores important realities that make voucher programs expensive, impractical and unsound. https://t.co/SryQPuobSh
