It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Teacher life: there is no sense of satisfaction quite like fifteen minutes after the bell on Friday when the kids are mostly gone and the school is mostly quiet. You're tired, but you made it, you made it

This is a live cam of the sky in Iceland. If you’re in the US, it could give you a few hours heads up on what kind of night it might be!
And if you live somewhere cloudy, well, it’s also useful then

HOT LIBRARY INTEL: you can ask your library to purchase specific titles for their collection, usually right through the library's website.
Librarians can't know every single new title, nor can they mind-read what their patrons might want to check out. Give it a shot!

I’ve declared a State of Emergency because the federal government is — illegally and cruelly — withholding funding for food assistance.
We are providing $10 million in emergency aid so Maryland families don’t go hungry.

Asking students to dig deep to recall stuff they already learned—without notes!—can be a surprisingly powerful way to help learning stick.
And when you can build those opportunities right into your classroom routines? Definitely a home run. ⚾ 🧠

Making Retrieval Practice a Classroom Routine
By regularly working in activities that get students to recall content they’ve learned in the past and apply it, teachers can ensure deeper understanding.

If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone.

The government said they aren’t releasing SNAP benefits in November — but ALDI is helping families out. Their Thanksgiving meal bundle feeds 10 people for just $40! 🦃 Available now through Christmas Eve, it includes 21 items (like a 14-lb turkey + sides). Share this with everyone!
