Hope ya'lls holiday are lovely! #EduSky #Christmas #WhiteChristmas

#McClainsBakery On the first day of teacher break my true love gave to me...a lemon poppyseed and raspberry muffin. #EduSky

Show me your a teacher 2 days before Christmas break without telling me you're a teacher 2 days before Christmas break. I'll go first... #EduSky #Blooket

Trying soming w/essays. Half the grade=Ss content. Half=Ss peer reviews of two other essays. (I'm sure I stole this idea from one of y'all on #EduSky.) They took the process seriously when they realized I was going to hold them accountable. And I don't have to red ink their papers! Thanks, friends!

Good morning, teachers. You got this. Make today great. ##EduSky

The #WWI trenches are gone. Replaced with my setup for finals. Fun fact ...finals and break are the end of next week, but who is counting. (Me?) Happy Friday, friends! #EduSky

I have been teaching research, outlining, and essay writing for the past couple weeks. This is first time some of my 12 year old Ss have had to outline and it is like science fiction to some. We talk about outlining as a time saver. Otherwise they look like this GIF...

Can't believe I've never read this. Adding to my TBR. #EduSky #BookSky

My Ss are studying the #ElectoralCollege. They conducted a Structured Academic Controversy, created political cartoons, & are writing an essay supporting/altering/abolishing it. I told them, "You probably know more about the EC than most adults." Its sad, but I'm not wrong. #EduSky #middleschool

When Maggie and I travel, we get an ornament. Day four of the history ornament parade. Today, the National Cathedral. #NationalCathedral #EduSky

When Maggie and I travel, we get an ornament. Day three of the history ornament parade. Today, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. #Monticello #EduSky

What they both said.

When Maggie and I travel, we get an ornament. Day two of the history ornament parade. Today, George Washington's Mount Vernon. #MountVernon #EduSky

When Maggie and I travel, we get an ornament. Day one of the history ornament parade. Tonight, the White House. #WhiteHouse #EduSky

One of my takeaways from #FreedomTrail @ncssnetwork.bsky.social #NCSS2024... Look up every once in a while to see which way the wind is blowing. You may be going against it, but that should never come as a surprise. [1/4]

What they said.

Boston's Freedom Trail on AllTrails www.alltrails.com/trail/us/mas...

So... a beautiful morning for a walk. #NCSS2024 #FreedomTrail.

Walked #FreedomTrail this morning & thought about what @historyherway.bsky.social @historyfrog.bsky.social shared #NCSS2024 yesterday. Only about 7% of monuments have women depicted/mentioned. As I walked, I saw no monuments with actual women. Only personifications of womenly ideals. Hmm... #EduSky

(The video in the other post only shows if you open the post. So, two photos...) What do two American history classes create for a "can"struction project for the food drive. Yup. #EduSky #Thanksgiving BTW...yes the hallway is always that loud. Always

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline (but remember to include alt text).

I hate busted sewer lines. That is all.

So. I am proud of my military service. It is one of those things that defines me. But. I struggle with Veterans Day. So many more sacrificed so much more than I did. I'd rather my students focus on them. But this note is everything to me right now. I love what I do. #EduSky #VeteransDay
