Tonight the state of Florida executed Michael Zack. He is the 6 person to be executed in Florida and the 19th to be executed in the US this year.
Please take a minute to read his final words.
No one is defending what he did, not even Michael. But we are all more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.
The death penalty does not heal the wounds of violence. It just creates new wounds.
It is time to stop killing to try to show that killing is wrong.
I love @JSchwartz10a's Number Grid Tic-Tac-Toe activity to help build elem students' number sense. It's addicting!

@heymrsbond I teach future teachers and explain to them why icebreakers may isolate their students. I’ve tried doing some that seemed to be “better”- tell me something boring, would you rather question, what gets your stamp of approval- but even these can be problematic.
@kasal_finley I’m asking students to respond to the prompts but don’t require them to respond to each other. I’m finding that when they choose to reply to others it’s usually with great questions or furthering the conversation in a positive way. I hated “discussion” in grad school too.
@Mathowitz Maybe thinking about how we know it means that something multiplied by itself is 144. Then reasoning that since 144 is even that the number we want must be even, so there’s two factors of 2 and we can then halve 144 twice. Then we know 2 x 2 x something x itself is 36.
@AdipppSheep This is one reason why I’m hesitant to go back to the classroom. I can’t do the pledge or the national anthem. I have nothing against those who choose to do them, but I definitely couldn’t model it for the kids.
Also this is hilarious.
@AdipppSheep Look into a uhaul pod? They deliver it, you fill it, they pick it up. You schedule the drop off at your new house. They drop it off and you unpack. It was easier for me when moving.
Also I never knew you liked board games! Can we party in July or will you be gone?
@AdipppSheep You’re not alone. If there’s anything I can do please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m a great listener. I’m also good at telling stories to distract if that’s a preference.
Probably the best thing you'll see today.
In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.
