Thank you #StarTrekPicard for such an excellent Season 3. As a person with #Autism who became verbal because of #StarTrekTNG, I channel each of these characters every day in my classroom. I hope this show will do for the next generation what #TNG did for me. #LLAP #StarTrek

#teaching these days has been a bit like fighting Thanos. Happy #Halloween2022

Did an activity with my #AP #Psychology class in which kids wrote commercials promoting endocrine system components as businesses. A team of students made this jingle for the hypothalamus. “At HypoMart, we don’t give no Fs, we give 4-Fs.” If it helps kids for the test it works!

My furry #teacher ‘s assistant, Wednesday Addams, is telling you to #VOTE on Election Day.

It’s been a while since I’ve built a completely new lesson. This lesson teaches kids Classical Conditioning by having them design a TV commercial for a hypothetical product they design. It was a lot of fun! #Psychology #TeachersDay2022 #TeachersDay #teacher #psychtwitter

I taught DBQs in #APUSH class today. My #teachers assistant used the #Marvel Infinity Gauntlet prop that I use to teach document analysis (because analyzing docs is like getting the infinity stones). She is #inevitable #History #sschat #historyteacher #teachertwitter

Hey, @Gilder_Lehrman, my furry #Teachers assistant wants to learn more about #History. She wants to learn about famous #cats in America. #CatsOfTwitter #teachertwitter

@teachergoals B on Monday and Friday (the former as a coping mechanism, the latter as a celebration for making it through the week). D every other day.

I’m going to be presenting with my colleagues at @RoseCityCC for the first time since the pandemic. #sschat #TeachersDay #Teachers #education #historyteacher #teachertwitter #BacktoSchool2022 #edchat

First week is in the books. For the first time in three years, it actually felt normal. #historyteacher #History #sschat #sschat #teachertwitter #BacktoSchool2022 #education

@Jmosley_history I’m curious to hear more about what this is. I do a couple things that might be similar. I’d like to know more about it.

[Greg Garcia, Jr./Sci-Fi High School @koa_mano]

@teachergoals Calling Directory assistance. Renting a Video head cleaner from Blockbuster to fix your VCR. Dragging the gut on Friday night. Going to a restaurant (or plane) and being asked “Smoking or non-smoking?” Using a card catalog at a library. Changing cassettes in your Walkman.

There are few greater feelings of accomplishment in #education than fixing a paper jam on a school printer all by yourself. #BackToSchool #teachertwitter #teacher #teaching #school
