Good luck to my fellow educators!

Thank you for your response. A very insightful article on how veteran teachers view classroom opportunities:
“Just when I think I have discovered the latest and greatest ways to engage my students in meaningful work, something new appears on the horizon.”

Congratulations on that milestone! 🎉 That is significant. And I know what you mean about learning SO MUCH every year. I wrote about it here to encourage others to stick with it. So much joy in each new challenge! www.nbpts.org/blog/2018/09...

My first year of teaching was so traumatic that 30 years later I still shudder at the memories. Not only was I woefully unprepared for the challenges of working with middle school students, but I had ...

This year … I reached a small milestone in my teaching career. I started teaching at 23 years old. I turned 46 in March. I’ve been teaching half my life! The ironic thing is that this year I learned so much about teaching. It never becomes “old hat.”

STEM club students enjoyed learning about @microbit.org. They were so excited to use the Robotic Inventions kit to enhance their @strawbees.bsky.social creations. They experimented with their code and the position of the servo motor for best results. #STEM #Edusky

More fun with @microbit.org and the Climate Action Kit. My grade 5s built a wind turbine and a monitor that waters a plant when moisture percentage falls below 30%. Excellent response from students.

More fun with @microbit.org and the Climate Action Kit. We built a model of coral.

I think it’s still early. But the other teams don’t seem to be close. You are most likely correct. For me, the bigger debate is driver’s. Historically, McLaren hesitates to prioritise a driver creating chaos. I prefer Piastri, but losing one or both of them wouldn’t be dramatic.

Fun with Grade 6s learning about circuits and using breadboards.

E. Ciardelli 🇨🇦 @enzociardelli.bsky.social · May 19

McLaren makes that call depending on Max’s progress this year. Right now, he’s only 20 points behind OP in a slower car. Constructors really has no bearing on that decision. Max will likely keep up. If OP continues winning races and out-qualifying LN … easy decision.

The VSC worked for Lando and Max this week. The McLaren car is much stronger than the RB. It’s their championship to win if they prioritise a driver (probably Oscar) If not, Max will take advantage. It’s not just the RB strategy. McLaren needs to race for the WDC.

E. Ciardelli 🇨🇦 @enzociardelli.bsky.social · May 18

I’m not sure strategically that made any sense. Why did they wait to let Lando through? They need to start prioritising one of their drivers. And 2 pit stop errors? Ferrari-style mistakes.

If you’re waiting … you’re in for a treat. I’m on chapter 6. It’s beautiful.

E. Ciardelli 🇨🇦 @enzociardelli.bsky.social · Apr 7

No pressure. But a DLC or a sequel would be a “drop everything” situation for me.

E. Ciardelli 🇨🇦 @enzociardelli.bsky.social · Apr 7

Playing #SouthofMidnight. Such an amazing game with unique art style and beautiful Southern atmosphere. Thank you to @compulsiongames.bsky.social
