@BurgerKing Thanks for the donations to make our state testing door a success and making us remember “You Rule” when our confidence wavers. The fries each have a confidence booster and kids are encouraged to take one.

To address the teacher shortage issue, we must address the teacher respect issue in our country. We must stop normalizing providing teachers with inadequate resources to be successful.

Our virtual jigsaw has been a hit today!

I seriously don't get people who are like, "No pets allowed in Zoom."

If my students have a pet and it doesn't make an appearance, I'm marking it as absent so it has to come see me during lunch.

Nowlin proud! There are no flowers without our stems.

1/5 My unpublished letter to the NYT regarding its May 1 story about resistance to suspending grades:
Wildly unequal circumstances while children learn at home is a persuasive reason to suspend traditional grading. Parents who oppose this seem to fear that two things may happen..
