Dinner and drinks with Jasmine Lane bc, when in London… 🇬🇧

Okay, GOP, you win: we should arrest whoever appointed FBI Director Christopher Wray.

5. Bribing with candy, chips, and other treats are used as classroom/behavior management strategies instead of teachers talking with and getting to know students and their families.

At this point, I honestly don’t know how many dresses and jumpers I’ve bought for vacation. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Day 1 of #StandardsInstitute for the 3rd & final time for 2022 and our President and CEO Lacey Robinson brought that 🔥🔥UnboundEd is empowering teachers and leaders to use their platform to be bold in their actions! #equity #justiceinthedetails

You know the episode of Modern Family where Mitchell faces off with the pigeon while Cam sings Ave Maria at a wedding…. That’s me when I find out the custodians found a dead mouse in my room over the summer. Fully losing my $h!+ while Schubert plays overhead.

“Yesterday” is a green word for my first graders in May. Our former president couldn’t read it on a teleprompter on January 7th, 2021.

Reading is a civil right. Balanced literacy is nonsense; ban it. Every teacher must be trained in the #scienceofreading . Abortion is healthcare. Trans kids need affirmation & support in schools. We should say gay. Systemic racism exists. Fascists are afoot; don't be nice to them.

That Calkins would say “The last two or three years, what I’ve learned from the science of reading work has been transformational' boggles the mind. The research consensus emerged in the NINETEEN SIXTIES and keeps being 'rediscovered.'

A baby went to a 4th of July parade & left an orphan. The way we’re living in this country makes zero sense..

Things I am currently out of:

1. Contacts
2. Patience
3. Energy
4. Fux

Captain’s Log Day 706

And y’all. Don’t yell at the employees at the desk and on the plane. These things aren’t their faults.

Captain’s Log: Hour 398.

I am not, in fact, going through the Big D(allas) bc the plane is broken. 🥴

One of my facilitators at the #standardsinstitute put it simply this week, “we aren’t entertaining pseudoscience in our learning.”
