You heard it here first:

If we do not CONTAIN Trump by impeachment or indictment, in a few months he will start to run a shadow government from Mar-a-Lago and at least a dozen governors will start to take their orders from HIM.

He will claim he is the legitimate President &

[Pam Keith, Esq. @PamKeithFL]

we will be RIGHT BACK on the path yo civil war that the extreme right has been pushing for.

Our squeamishness serves NO ONE & NOTHING GOOD!

We need an AG right now, and we need indictments on EVERY GOP member who participated.

This WILL not get contained any other way.

So blown away by her voice. We spent a few days discussing her poem. My students couldn’t believe she used to have a stutter! So inspiring !

Happy New Year! We are starting a reading challenge this month - any ideas 💡 on how to track books read or pages? I am tweaking a SeeSaw post they will use to track their reading . Any ideas other than honor system to track reading??

COVID test #3 check ✔️ You just can’t have a cough or cold ...I’m wondering if there could be a punchcard for repeat testers like teachers. After your 5th test ... you get a prize ? 🎁Thankful they have all been negative so far -health care workers who deal with everyday so nice

@pernilleripp I am struggling with how to track/encourage their weekly independent reading hw. What are your weekly reading surveys like? I feel kids just lie on reading logs?

[Valerie Burns @ValB232]
