Why do I choose to stay in the classroom as a teacher?
Teddy Roosevelt said it well: “It is not the critic who counts... The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

@NASA Artemis III harkens back to the Gemini & pre-Apollo 11 missions, small steps & giant leaps that made the “one giant leap” possible.

Introducing Artemis III.

Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown.

In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.

Hey kids, what kind of symmetry is this?

Old school in our town finally demolished today.
The walls may fall down, but the lessons & legacy remain.

Help your kids use their big ideas to do big things.

“What an incredible blessing and an honor it is to be standing here representing all of you.”

In a STEM PD but still watching the Artemis III astronaut announcement 🚀

Do we want the NEWEST … or the BEST?

@DrJamesLane describes true innovation in #edleadership.

@SternAdvice Good one!
Side note, have you tried using Nurcs, the craft stick connectors?
@NurcsToy

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

Yes, sometimes you DO need trigonometry… like when your dad needs to know what angle to cut a trim piece on a 6-12 roof

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

@0Beanie05923291 That’s a great point. I think of the Little House on the Prairie books where so much “problem solving” happened just to help them survive & thrive.
When a child sees, or reads, enough examples like that, it becomes part of their mindset.

@Joe_Sanfelippo True. Our principal brought around a snack cart to teachers once a month this year…great idea, but it frustrated me because it was always in the middle of me teaching a lesson.

@WillmarStingers Zum Geburtstag viel Glück Willmar!

When you are a teacher, it’s not always easy to see the results.
That’s why I like summer projects, getting your hands dirty, seeing something finished.

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

@MsInnerfield Yes! Or getting one at a yard sale

[dailySTEM Chris Woods @dailystem]

Hey parents, put out a puzzle this summer, because your kids will get bored, & “work on the puzzle” is a great answer to “I’m bored”
