I know this is beside the point, but five bullet points wouldn't even cover the important stuff I do during first period, let alone a whole week.

So. GOV teachers, how we feeling? How many of your lesson plans have been shredded/rewritten?

There's an interior door between my classroom and a math teacher's classroom. Kind of want to blow this meme up to poster size and put it on that door.

I realize most of you don't get a random week off in February because your local economy isn't reliant on the ski industry... but I do! Happy February Break!

My mantra is “no talking about education without educators.” Teachers are too often absent from the places where teaching is discussed. This has been evident in the public responses to Pres. Trump’s 1/29 EO: “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling.”

Teaching a spicy current events lesson tomorrow before February break begins. Will anyone yell about it? We’ll see!

We've definitely had school in worse weather than we're having today, but I do not mind the day off. Now there's just one school day left before vacation, and the timing works perfectly for wrapping up what I'm currently teaching.

Had to discuss the Superbowl and the halftime show between classes today, of course. It's hilarious how much it shocks the ninth grade boys that I know Kendrick's music.

On a bus ride home from States with a bunch of happy, medal-winning and record-breaking athletes. And we’re going to get home before the snow starts! Can’t ask for a better day than this.

There's a local restaurant that's offering free snow day hot chocolate with their sandwiches today, so I went down for lunch. Ran into one of my former students, who asked me, "How are you managing to be a teacher right now?" I said I honestly didn't know. Just am.

Nothing is better than getting a snow day notification the evening before a storm. No need to set an alarm now!

On the bus to the last indoor track meet before States. It’s snowing and we’re barely going to make it on time. Eeek!

Teachers, we made it through all 47 weeks of January. Well done.

If young girls do more sport, who knows where it will lead? This is relevant wherever you are in the world. #EduSky #Inclusion

I want to say this to every educator right now: Your patience, dedication, and passion shape lives in ways that can’t always be measured. You inspire, uplift, and make a difference, even when it doesn’t feel that way. The world is better because of you. Keep going—you matter. #edusky #sschat

If only our current administration were as concerned about keeping guns out of our schools as we are about the possibility that we might be teaching children who are undocumented.

The track boys brought a bluetooth speaker to practice today, and when they went on their warm-up run through the halls they were singing along to "Party in the USA." And, y'know, I support it.

Highly recommend this reflective essay from Temple Prof. Seth Bruggeman. It captures the central challenge of teaching today in a system that over time has become entirely transactional, and then suddenly technology that could satisfy the transaction arrived. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...
