Awesome watching students meaningfully and collaboratively wrestle with the concept of genre in this sorting competition, which I fully attribute to Donalyn Miller/The Book Whisperer ❤️

Used this activity that Vogelsinger generously shared (we're introducing genre!) and students loved it.

Maybe I'll make this a thread. A la Churchill (of all people!), the choice between zionism and socialism is nothing less than the struggle for the soul of judaism. Zionists have always said so themselves! To understand this, you must read the brilliant Lenni Brenner. www.marxists.org/history/etol...

In re Adam Friedland/Ritchie Torres, there's no time like the present for people sincerely despairing to educate themselves on zionism's origins, history, and character and what that means for judaism, and Trotsky's piece is a great place to start. #freePalestine

Frantically planning for the start of school next week, surrounded by my giant stacks of pedagogical texts, and just read something that made me feel like I may NEVER be ready. Stopped me in my tracks.

![Before silverfish reproduce, they carry out a ritual involving three phases, which may last over half an hour. In the first phase, the male and female stand face to face, their vibrating antennae touching, then repeatedly back off and return to this position. In the second phase, the male runs away and the female chases him. In the third phase, the male and female stand side by side and head to tail, with the male vibrating his tail against the female.[14] Finally, the male lays a spermatophore, a sperm capsule covered in gossamer, which the female takes into her body via her ovipositor to fertilize her eggs. The female lays groups of fewer than 60 eggs at once, deposited in small crevices.[15] The eggs are oval-shaped, whitish, about 0.8 mm (0.031 in) long,[16] and take between two weeks and two months to hatch. A silverfish usually lays fewer than 100 eggs in her lifetime.[17]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wh4yroac54oqsrvfdjmz2ljz/bafkreig6wm54v4ziq2pjbasnvqn5cflwvjfhbvwluh3gfnnejsi5wafpte@jpeg)

Walked by a mushroom forest in a tree bed on my block and was amazed, charmed. The next day, it looked like it had been positively torched but all other flowers and plants in the tree bed were fine! Help me solve this botanical mystery, chat.

Finished my third year of teaching today; this year, I tried to track all of the books I read on my classroom door. Forgot a few for sure, but still fun to see and reminisce.
Onto summer break, thank god!

NYCers, Gazans are being starved to death, concentrated into camps, and gunned down at food distribution centers. If you can come out today, please do. #FreePalestine #StopGenocideOfPalestinians
