@teachergoals Just make sure that the car is turned off in your driveway first.

One of the greatest privileges of my life was that I was on shift on BBC World that day - this was our show. Behind the scenes were were all screaming at our monitors, blind with tears of laughter, completely incapable of saying or doing anything for a full ten minutes.

@sjsubity I’m a public school teacher. I grew up eating Kentucky Fried Chicken. I know about sporks.

My 6th graders would love some new titles. They’d especially find it cool if they were won in a contest!

[Beth Foley @MrsBFoley]

I’d love to include these in my classroom library!

[Beth Foley @MrsBFoley]

@LindaStanek @AmeDyckman But if it were game-used or signed by a player, you would expect it to be boxed and padded. #protecttheinvestment

@edcampHOT Have you set a date?

[Beth Foley @MrsBFoley]

@stacymcanulty @Mrs_Ennis_OMS My teaching super power would be a combo of empathy and creating engaging lessons. (Fueled by coffee, of course!) My 6th graders would love this! #6thgradereading

@drtarasanderson Life insurance and a will!

@NicholasFerroni 6th grade, Mrs. McLain. She had been a nurse in WWII and made us learn about the world and history. I know countries, capitals and locations, thanks to her. I also helped build a model of a medieval castle and discovered history was fun.

Treat all students and staff kindly. You never know what they are truly going through.

@baddestmamajama Can I just add that it gets worse when you’re 5’10” and wear a 12 shoe? Try finding nice women’s clothes that are long enough at a reasonable price. That “just shop online” suggestion? That’s like Russian roulette with sizing. No two 16s are cut the same.

@Teachr4 I’ve used 3x5 note cards before with HS struggling writers to only focus a paragraph at a time. You can get down what you want to say in chunks and then rearrange before committing to paper.

@ellen_em_dee @EduCelebrity I don’t know, they certainly can be handy for a sub in an emergency. You don’t have to spend an hour explaining what you personally would have taught and modeled on a normal day, while you are either sick or needing to be with someone who is. #beenthere

Why am I only learning this at 53???

[Andrew Arevalo @Gameboydrew]

I was today years old when I found out how to make the perfect circle.

. . . as demonstrated by my 4th grader! 😉🧠💡

@jmnemes I remember watching the evening news in the ‘70s with the GE strikes and the coal mine strikes. Grandpa gives good advice.
