Just forgot 1 thing ... I'm new to the neighborhood & they don't know to come to me.

Life is pretty hard RN, but my kids are doing really rad discovery learning.

All I did was "yoink" the H & teach them H was down to lose it's last e-, and get nekkid down to just a p+. They reasoned through the rest!

Materials needed: lab tables, chalk markers & awesome learners!

@mrahmedgaming.bsky.social, do you/you know folk who teach elements as "personalities"? There have to be others & who do it better than I do.

I kinda really want to teach electron-pushing to 11th graders w rocky chem foundations.
How else do you logic this?

Considering making this into a proper poster for my HS classroom & maybe halls.
Thoughts/notes?

Cannot get mad at students using my chalk markers for non-academic purposes.

Despite the home accessories, a single fly dares live.
Good Sir is apt to challenge any non-us human or canine in our home for their life, but a single fly calls for the Fortress of Safety & endless dirty looks.

Pup doesn't stay home by himself well yet (working on it) & paws were sensitive from indiscriminate walking by too many humans, methinks. Can't balance to save his life, but if the Epsom salt water is a lil warm, he'll let me go with an annoyed face... at least for the front paws.

Insies—>Outsies Approach:
1) I'm going thru a hard time & not doing terribly at it
2) Even in the mess of my school, great student project panels are happening & my kids are amazing
3) NYC Mayoral race offers hope, and a real hope for Mayor
4) Please enjoy Fred. He's a happy dog.

I cannot get #ImmortalTechnique @immortaltechnique.bsky.social out of my head.

For those struggling to situate the escalation of force in LA, I may suggest the long toothed analyses, from 2003 & 2020.

I have found usefulness in the Mood Meter idea — by plotting pleasantness & energy, we can identify a plot point that can be translated into a feeling word.

The How We Feel app is cumbersome for me, but is the best I've found yet (other than paper & pencil).

When you're sensory sensitive & have fried your hair, but still need decent-looking bangs that at east mostly go in the same general direction.

Especially cuz like it's my bedroom (the ½) that's 🥶.

Can somebody track down all the places these CEO types go so I can lock stupid shit up?

I will amass funds just to lock up every common convenience & necessity they encounter on a daily basis.

Kid, I'm so glad you do. I'm glad to have you, even if i don't know which of my young folk you are.

Admin set up an Outlook group for my instructional team. Cool.

It's 90ish days of school and Admin has not corrected student names in the LMS .... so I don't have an alphabetical gradebook or daily roster.

AYFKM?

Putting together my school REBUILD TJ calendar for tomorrow. I hope the stellar artist & designer forgives the K-12 ...redactive embellishments.

Thx @prisonculture.bsky.social for sharing the opportunity to support REBUILD..
