We made an intentional choice not to record sessions to preserve a space for people to be vulnerable and brave if they choose, but we also knew that sometimes folks couldn't join us for various reasons but still wanted to learn about the routine, so the podcast is the compromise!
No, but there will be a podcast episode later!
Starting in less than a minute, see you there!!
I NEED HELP!
Please take this quick, meaningless 19 question survey so I can get data for my students to learn stats!
I did a similar version a few months ago but missed an important question type. Even if you did the old one, please do it again!
Please circulate widely!
I'm so so so so so so excited for this. Come hang out with us tomorrow!!
It does lessen in frequency over time, but when it hits, it hits like it was last week.
I have never met a smart person who thought the humanities and social sciences were useless college subjects who wasn't grifting.
HOT TAKE: Stop saying you can't believe you agree with grifters who have suddenly become critical of Trump. That's not a change of heart or sudden flash of wisdom they're having... they are simply changing the optics to maintain their income and influence and you're falling for it.
YEP.
A second grader called me "Ms. Beach Shell" instead of Ms. Shelby so that's my name now ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ

If you believe the purpose of math instruction is answer getting, then sure, this does the job. But if you believe the purpose of math education is to develop humans who can reason and problem solve and think critically, then this doesn't make that happen. We have to agree on why we even teach math.
Death to keep change flip. The number of 5th graders I have worked with who opt out of any critical thinking or reasoning at all because they've been introduced to this little memory trick that gives them the answer with little effort is too damn high.

Good morning from Augusta! If you're attending ATOMIM today, come find me and say hi! We're Demystifying Elementary Math for Secondary Teachers at 9:55 if you want to swing by for that as well. ๐
I would add Bruno Mars covering "All I Ask" to this list.
Not gonna lie, I've definitely purchased more than one flight on my phone. Any other major purchase though? It's laptop all the way.

The world is scary and hard and challenging and depressing and it's far too easy to slip into melancholy and hopelessness. And then he offers me a glimpse through his eyes and it motivates me to keep going, to keep doing what I can to make the world a place that won't crush his kindness and spirit.
Took a quick trip this weekend for TT's birthday so he could spend time with his cousin. He blew out the candles on his cake, and then said, "I didn't wish for anything, because my wish already came true. I'm here with all of you."
I don't know how we made such a precious lil bean. He's the best.
This might be the first time I've ever heard you say you want something Pikachu.
