Always learning, so I can always be teaching. Writing is my background, so I’m studying mathematics, allowing me to make insightful jokes about slices of pi.

testing to see if the links works -- how is this looking to you, my #TTLs19 friends? https://t.co/9BAjaFsTM8

GreenScreen fun in #TTLs19 https://t.co/fblQUjgoOb How is the weather where you are?

@LWMEdProf @MsTaylorFeldman @DaletskiMishel I claim this page for my page!!!!!

Plainfield Dist202 and Joliet Dist86 cancelled Friday classes, saying buses didn’t come through the cold snap fully functional. Kids stay home 4 of 5 days this week, and schedules everywhere are a mess. A reminder of all the moving pieces that make up a school day. #TTLs19

Schools closed for two days due to the weather, and as a teaching candidate, I can think about the lost hours of classroom time...but as a parent, I think more about everything needed to handle unexpected child care needs. #TTLs19

lladro figurines... baccarat crystal... power tools...

But yes, books work far better.

@ProfessorKevin2 What would I fill my floor to ceiling, wall to wall bookshelves with?! #TTLs19

My philosophy is centered around one word: Relevance! I want my students to understand how what they learn today, in 6th, 7th and 8th grades, will apply to their lives in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Don't teach for a test -- teach for a future! #TTLs19

What’s your educational philosophy? Can’t wait to see these tweets! #celebrate #TTLs19

I doubt that I'm the first to post on this, but after the Covington Catholic incident in DC, it seems worthwhile to state that field trips, whether to the local library or the nation's capital, need wise teachers, decisive chaperones and established policies on behavior.

As a prospective math teacher, I'm not sure how I'd use this...but as a prospective journalism instructor, I think it's terrific! One of my editors once saw a tire shop offering nitrogen for tires, and five hours later I was an expert on gaseous molecules and oxidation. #TTLs19

I figured I would share this article, especially since we are learning ways to use technology in the classroom!

I am curious, once we get into our own classrooms, to see whether students can be as lost and confused as adults are after a long weekend. #TTLs19

[Miss Barrett @MissBarrett123]

After a long weekend, it's time to get back into the swing of things! Happy Tuesday! #TTLs19

Marie Kondo suggests that personal libraries be 30 books or fewer; she also suggests keep that which brings you joy. For me, that is books, dozens and dozens and dozens of them. #TTLs19

The class also included a reference to the Remind/Verizon issue, which impacts me both as a parent and an educator. Relevant learning can come anytime, anyplace.

[ProfessorKevin @ProfessorKevin2]

Spam is offers to lower my credit card rate or buy a car. Spam is not a reminder that my daugher has a field trip on Tuesday. Remind is not Spam, so @Verizon, please #ReverseTheFee. #TTLs19

@QuigleySped10 My new favorite quote for this week is the FDR line that Comey cited: “Judge me by the enemies I make.” But yours is a good one too.

[ProfessorKevin @ProfessorKevin2]

My Sundays include sitting down and looking at all of my homework for the week, as well as the kids' schedule. Am I the only one doing this? What are you doing to be ready for the week ahead? #TTLs19
