How To Help if You are Outside Minnesota Last edited January 22, 2026 I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this, you more or less understand the situation in Minnesota and I don’t have to explain it to you! That sa…

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent.

And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Brain Power Strategy Card handout. It's separated into three zones: the frustration zone, the growth zone, and the independent growth zone. Below each zone are steps to guide the student through independent problem-solving.

An infographic showing two balance-scale diagrams comparing brain states. The top section is titled “Brain Power in Zone 1 & Zone 2: Growth Zone” and shows a balanced scale labeled “Balanced,” with arrows indicating working memory, information coming in, and brain power/energy (cognitive load) in equilibrium. The bottom section is titled “Cognitive Overload Zone 3: Brain is Frozen” and shows a tilted, imbalanced scale labeled “Imbalanced,” with notes indicating too much information coming in, working memory overloaded, and the brain overloaded or frozen due to cognitive overload. Made by Teacher Katherine Effremkin and shared by Edutopia.

Let’s pause and reflect 💭 The end of the year can feel like a sprint… but what if we slowed down + honored what worked? What made you feel proud as a math teacher this year? ✨ You’ve grown — your students have too. That matters. 🧡

I found the person from the word problem.

I love my free breakfast this morning but what I really want is to be paid reasonably for someone with a master’s degree…

"My tip for boosting student engagement is to NEVER respond 'yes' or 'no' to any student answer. ALWAYS ask the rest of the students, 'What do you think of _____'s answer?' It works every time." —Educator T.J. Jemison

The IRS finalizes a deal to share tax information with immigration authorities The Internal Revenue Service reached a deal to share tax information about some immigrants without legal status, marking a major change in how tax records can be used.

The Internal Revenue Service has reached an agreement with immigration authorities to share tax information about some immigrants without legal status, marking a major change in how tax records can be used.

The American Bar Association has grave concerns about today’s decision to immediately end most of the government-funded legal services program for unaccompanied children. This program provides legal representation to more than 26,000 migrant children, who are in or have been released from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement custody. Providing services to these children helps them navigate complex immigration court proceedings and allows them to understand their legal options, while also protecting them from being trafficked, abused, or exploited in the United States.

The ABA is concerned by the U.S. government's cutoff of legal services for unaccompanied children. Read the full statement here: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Looking forward to seeing some familiar friendly faces at ATMIM tomorrow! @mrkitmath.bsky.social and I will be presenting Modeling Matters at 8:30 in Suite B/C, and we'll be joining @misssklar.bsky.social for Authentic Choices in an Elementary Class at 10:50 in room 402/403.

See you soon! 💜

We have choice in where we put our money. I’m participating in this boycott and I hope you consider it too!

In #MathsToday we were multiplying and dividing by powers of 10 - using plastic wallets to write the numbers on so we could move the digits up and down on the place value grid.

+1 on depending how they’re used! Also the age of students and what other study / organization skills you might want to build. In grades 3 and 4, I loved a notebook. Parents knew there was one place to see all the learning happening and kids could go back to review previous concepts quite easily.

hahahaha I am glad someone saw it because it made me happy to type!
