@FixingEducation This isn’t true… within the first few months of first grade, kids have learned to read hiragana and katakana and are practicing addition and subtraction within 20. They start learning kanji later in the year. Knowledge is definitely a priority.

If you are in Charlottesville the evening of 4/7 and don’t have plans, GO SEE Twelfth Night at UVA Dept of Drama. It’s easily my favorite thing they’ve ever done and one of the best nights I’ve had at the theater.

@UVA @presjimryan I actually like the UV logo better…

I found out recently that you have to be <40 join the national bone marrow registry. Only a few years left for me!

My dad’s cousin, age 61, died of leukemia earlier this year. He had a bone marrow transplant that gave him 5 more years, and he met his first grandson. #BeTheMatch

I’m grateful for Virginia Family Therapy sharing this guide on talking about the UVA shooting with children.

School is cancelled and kids in the community will find out one way or another.

@k_scottbell and I are trying to figure out how to do this now.

@littlegillikin @marymcintyre Oh good!

[Katie Morgans @MsMorgans]

@littlegillikin @marymcintyre I am worried about all the kids who walk to school!

New: Albemarle County Public Schools unanimously votes to raise starting pay for bus drivers at $21.50 an hour. Previously, the rate started at $16.52.

[Katie Morgans @MsMorgans]

@littlegillikin Wow, things have changed so much since I was there!

[Katie Morgans @MsMorgans]

@mondomascots Aww, I went to that back in ‘09! Still have the guide book

@jdtimshel Because you also noticed the hamster smell or wanted some curry rice?

[Katie Morgans @MsMorgans]

I had Japanese curry rice ���� for lunch for the past three days (first time this year I brought it) and each day, the same student has informed me that the classroom smells like hamsters 🐹 after lunch. What?!

[Katie Morgans @MsMorgans]

Spot-on. At least I’m meeting with people I like, and hopefully we’ll have fun together. But it is very much like being in meetings all day.

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

For non-teaching friends who don't understand why teaching is so stressful, imagine this scenario. You have to run meetings all day long. You get virtually no time to prepare for the meetings. During the meetings, there are 30 people in the room who are forced to be there.
