I can only imagine that somewhere in the US today a 12 year old girl - probably a US citizen - has written something like this in her diary.🫤

Developing next generation of readers. Bringing these to my granddaughter today (kindergarten and beginning to read).
I tell my physics students that one of the best ways to do well in physics is to read for 15 consecutive minutes - no distractions - each day; it will rewire your brain.😊

FWIW: when my physics vets stop by to visit after their first semester at college is pretty danged cool.😎
I’ll be smiling all weekend.

Ok, Team: add to the list of things to be careful with on the board (drawing rockets, baseball bats, etc.).
Yesterday working an innocuous block at rest on inclined plane, I labeled friction “Ffs”.🫣
Be safe out there.

I made it three years, but I think PBIS is mostly hype, and what Modesto schools are seeing probably isn’t too surprising for any school using PBIS.

Just back from our first XC invitational meet of the year. The Team did great, but I’m here to say:
Any time the coaches are also teachers at the school, it’s a GOOD thing. It’s about relationships, perspective, and balance.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.🫡

Biggest SY accomplishment: declared pandemic over & got back to pacing/depth of 2018-19.
Sure, some covid learning loss, but more convinced it’s student (& parent) resistance to getting back to where we were.
Those easy As, completion credit, test corrections were a sweet deal.😉

Fellow science Ts: I’ve been an AAAS member for about 10 years, and have found Science to be a great tool to get at my scientific literacy skills (I also feel the first time my students read an actual scientific article shouldn’t be in college).
Peace!

Too late to get it on my school’s summer reading list (our library already has it - science, science history, and social justice, good stuff!) but next year for sure.
