SNOW DAY! I wrote this song in May 2022 [in May? WHY???] and worked on the arrangement/recording remotely with Mike Ford. Then I animated it the old-fashioned way: a frame at a time. Why? The same reason people climb Mt Everest: stupidity.

@ABCWorldNews @DavidMuir I’d watch if @Disney and @YouTubeTV could work things out. It’s so annoying. I added @NBCNews to my library today.

She is wonderful! We had writing workshops with her and our students are still talking about it two years later!

I love meeting readers and educators, and a virtual author visit might be the perfect way to extend your students’ learning. Don't hesitate to reach out!

The only right listed twice in the Constitution is the right to a trial by jury. Interesting discussion about pardons, SROs in schools and prison condition. #teachersphere @SphereEdIn

[Laura Israelsen @LIsraelsen]

#teachersphere We are listening to a session on @izzit_org where we are getting practical lessons and great resources for classrooms! They get teachers! We LOVE that kids just get join codes and don’t have to create accounts!

Attending the National Teacher Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Emporia, Kansas. @Adams12 social studies teacher @tchpreservation Michelle Pearson is becoming part of that famous wall. She represents all of the amazing educators who show up daily for kids!

@SpeakerJohnson @HouseGOP @POTUS @SpeakerJohnson you mentioned to @ABC that you have received very few calls opposing the Big Beautiful Bill. I am reaching out to say that I oppose this bill especially the Medicare cuts and tax cuts for the wealthy. Please document my opposition. Thank you.

@KyleClark I’m a teacher and we challenge students ( like Hemingway) to write a 6 word story. You did it! I’m adding this one to my list of examples.

“My Mother Made Me” from @jasonreynolds83 is about love, memory, and the lessons that shape us. If you enjoy the show, leave a review on @ApplePodcasts and tell us: how did your mother make you?

@KyleClark I called his office asking him NOT to vote for the Medicaid cuts. The woman from his office told me I was confused and that Gabe Evans was a supporter of social security & Medicare & he would never vote to cut those programs as he understands how important they are to CO-08.

@timoptix @KyleClark @jaredpolis I recently took students on a tour where we learned this exact fact. Also, that Congress has the power of the purse.

Four of my Westlake students @Adams12 are featured in the acknowledgements for their beta reading and feedback! This glimpse into the editing process was a priceless experience for me and my students. Thank you Megan Freeman! Check us out on page 464!

In AWAY, a group of children investigate the threat that prompted large-scale evacuations in this powerful and dramatic companion novel to the New York Times bestselling ALONE by @meganefreeman, told in multiple POVs.

@ChasenGreg We are seeing health concerns for those families in the Colorado Marshall fire that didn’t lose their homes. They went back to a home in the middle of a neighborhood that burned down but they are now showing issues with their health. CU Boulder is doing a study.

[Laura Israelsen @LIsraelsen]

@MrsPete23 That is so thoughtful! I am a teacher and mailed thank you cards during the break. I think kids love to get mail. Perhaps that teacher is waiting to hand them out when they return after break.

@jaltucher When we compare our education scores to others, are we comparing apples to apples? Other countries often don’t have the same regulations around special education populations and English language learners that we do. We include everyone in our test scores, many countries don’t.
