My Russian blue, Anya, can't figure out her new toy. She's definitely interested, but not smart enough to get it.. at least not yet! Maybe she'll get it eventually!

Learning how to code in Python with Hummingbirds and Microbits with Rob Carmichael and @weteachcs.bsky.social at WTCS Deep Dives Physical Computing in Austin! #wtcs #csforyall

Forgot to add the photo! 🤪

My girl Anya contemplating the world and appreciating the bird feeder I put outside her window. 💙 I wish our lives could be so simple.

My older cat cleo is the same way. She's such a worry wart. If my son is outside taking out the trash or something, she'll pace back and forth near the door making concerned chirps and meows until he returns.

Cool...reminds me of those iMacs from the 2000s like this

Oh, to be Anya, whose only care in the world is watching the variety of birds visit the feeder outside her window pane and the asshole stalker cat that yowls at her every night. #Catpics #Catlife

I miss the #BioBlitz we used to do pre-COVID in our area. It was one of the first ways I introduced my sons to the fun and wonder of science and one of the reasons I think my eldest followed me into #STEMteaching #Scisky

Once a month, students are charged "rent" and "utilities." They can purchase a "home" in my store to get out of rent, but will continue to pay utilities each month. This encourages them to budget. They also can set up accounts for savings and set goals to save for particular items.

The bonuses are like the reward categories you posted for ClassDojo or what I had when I used PBISRewards previously. They are also customizable. You can also add fines. I use these less frequently and they are much lower than the bonuses so they sting less.

Here are some screenshots from my ClassBank: first, setup jobs so kids get paid weekly.All have a job of "student," so they get paid for participating in class, doing their work, being a class citizen, etc. They can also apply for other jobs around the classroom which you can customize to your needs

My Russian Blue, Anya, loves to cuddle, but Cleo, the tabby on the left, needs her space at all times. She loves you from a distance. They're giving me cuddle love while recuperating from a torn shoulder! 💙💙

My girl Anya is a #mood

Remembering one of the greatest presidents in modern history on this tragic anniversary. It's so sad to think of the drastic drop in quality of leadership between 35 and 45/47...

My kitty Cleo had the right idea today: hide in her little cave and cuddle! 🥰🥰 Wish I could do the same, but I got 3 more days until turkey break!
