And for such young children! Travel teams have dropped down to even before middle school! I know a 6th grade child who was in another country for a few weeks during the school year because of their athletic team!
“We are all dragging ourselves along, trying to keep up with whatever version of normalcy has been reconstructed each day. We are weeping and writing emails. We are watching television and scrolling, alternately hiding and spiraling, but rarely grieving as we should. Rarely living fully in the reality of now, because that would mean killing the zombie dressed up as an ordinary Tuesday, and we do not know how to do that yet. Or maybe we’re just not ready." — Kelly Hayes
"We are at war, and thousands of people are dead. We are at war, and we are complaining about high gas prices and long lines at the airport. We are at war, and running late for our next appointment." organizingmythoughts.org/the-zombie-d...

Oops, I smushed together a lot of the 1900s . . . I’m going to blame working with adolescents
Newer houses have air-to-air exchangers that bring in outside air all year round and use science to keep the temperature regulated
It is very strange to me that we have different, higher hour requirements for 9-12th grade and 6-8th grade than K-5.
Each grade band has a specific number of hours they need to receive instruction . . . And our youngest ones get the fewest hours.
Our district says that weather can’t control us.
I disagree, but whatever.
Blizzard warning has been lifted for Hennepin and Ramsey counties. Now it is a winter storm warning.
A lot of snow, but now maybe it will stay where it is?
fighting the institutional adoption of ai is slow and difficult. but as individuals, we can still largely opt out, at least from direct use. i sincerely believe that those who do so will find solidarity in creativity, imagination, and humanity. in intelligence.
The stretching is soooo crucial
Ope. Upgraded to a blizzard warning
This week has been a mess for me, too.
As Dex did not use a question mark, we, dear readers, can surmise this is a statement of anger, despair, outrage, and rage rage.
Not a question.
I vote register and attend anyway!
One of my students finished The Hunger Games for the first time in our classroom yesterday during choice reading.
Her gasp and her stunned sitting reminded me of all the reasons I love powerful books and choice reading practices.
Ok the strawberry limeade is also it! Thank you for reminding me of the joys of summer in a cup!
That blockable post was probably AI disinformation.
Sonic drinks are there for happiness, not fear
Yes! It will feel so, so good.
I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out.
If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72
Happy last day of the month!
I have quite a few rent needs and not enough donors, so if you have a couple bucks to drop in the rent pool, you can venmo me @ziibiing
If you can give $500 or more message me on signal at asiniiwiikwe.72
Happy last day of the month!

Beautiful! Makes me miss teaching high school 🥺
I touched one, and I thought they weren’t for me, and I was right.
It’s so good to know ourselves well at this old age.
I’m glad you love them!
