Still figuring things out about teaching, math, faith, life, and how to use Twitter. Just call me a lifelong learner.

To my #1 podcast of 2021, That Sounds Fun with @anniefdowns: thank you for keeping me company on @Spotify all year long! #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/YyOvG9ApYa

@GovStitt Oklahoma cannot execute an innocent man. Please save Julius Jones’ life and take the recommendation of your Pardon and Parole Board and commute his sentence to life with the possibility of parole. #JusticeforJulius

I loved Steve & Blue growing up. Whatever that talking to the camera thing he did is… He’s still got it!

[Nick Jr. @nickjr]

So about that time Steve went off to college… #BluesClues25

Something to try, now that we are ending hybrid learning...

[Dan Meyer @ddmeyer]

Extremely useful structure for notice & wonder. 👇

Groups chat & then select three questions to share out — one they think ...

1. is unique to their group.
2. they could use math to answer.
3. that's just fun.

Learned it from watching Kellie Stilson @115yhs just now. 🎁

PSA! 📢

@MrsSheehanMath Preparing thoughtful lessons that engage students in genuine inquiry rather than struggling to stick to a typical years curricula pacing and standards.

@realDonaldTrump Please spare the life of Brandon Bernard! 🙏🏻 He does not deserve to die. https://t.co/RVQlPmo38Y

Me today... plus tears.

True story! 💯

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

More than anything else, teachers want their students to be successful. And right now, many students are struggling, despite the best efforts of teachers. I know this thing is hard on students...but it is also taking an emotional toll on teachers who are desperate to help them.

[Joy Alene @joysofmath]

I’ve been saying this for years.

[Joy Alene @joysofmath]

@kathrynfreed 😣 it’s so hard! This weekend I’m working on plans and putting off parent/student emails til Monday. It’s either that or be completely unprepared for Monday’s classes!

@drewholcomb @amygrant Christmas Shoes, 100% 😭😭😭

[Joy Alene @joysofmath]

It’s fine, I’m fine, this thread just has me weeping 😭👏🏻💯 It’s so beautiful. What a time to be alive!!

[Austin Channing Brown @austinchanning]

Can y’all post the pics of your children watching MVP Kamala Harris tonight?

[Drew Holcomb @drewholcomb]

This is what makes America great.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

Add teaching during one the most divisive presidential elections in history on top of teaching during a pandemic.

More proof that teachers can teach in any environment... they should not have to, but they can.

[Michael Wear @MichaelRWear]

Here's what I'm sure of after yesterday: we can not continue to operate as if half of the country does not exist.

[Drew Holcomb @drewholcomb]

“It was a mistake.”

I wish politicians said this more often.

Teachers, it’s okay to have a lesson plan fall apart sometimes. Tacos fall apart and we still love them! 🌮
