TJ’s first team had trouble scoring and made only 49 in one of their last games. Still went to the Sweet 16. ISU has 63 in the first half. I know it’s different competition but this is going to be a fun year, as expected with TJ! #bluecy

My sophomores are reading The Crucible and killing it! It took me a while to enjoy teaching this text but this year? A whole new level! They’re reading with fire and passion, the discussions have been out of this world! It makes the teaching so much easier when your students enjoy the content!

I’m a public school teacher. At times, I feel I’m living paycheck to paycheck. I can’t/don’t accept gifts. Sigh.
This is why a con man shouldn’t have been allowed to become President!

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World never gets old. The movie works in so many levels and the ideas are great lessons about relationships. Plus, Edgar Wright has become one of my favorite directors!

Anyone feeling generous to gift this English teacher a pair of Rush tickets? Just feeling the waters.

Lost my cool and blew up on students today. Haven’t had that in four plus years. Ugh. This year is oddly challenging.
Just reminding myself that tomorrow’s a brand new day. Sigh.

I love the Progressive commercials with the life coach and home owners turning into their parents. I swear they record me and use that rather than writing their own material!

I’m a casual baseball fan. Pulling for the Blue Jays because Geddy Lee does, too. That said, this has been a fantastic series with two equally matched teams winning in conventional and unconventional ways!

I figure if everyone on the interwebs were to Venmo me just $1, I might be able to afford Rush tickets. DM me out of the goodness of your heart!

I had hoped differently but ticket prices for the #Rush #fiftysomething tour are out of this teacher’s budget. All those that can go, thanks for supporting a band that has influenced who I am since 1978.

Well poop. Rough day for my teams all around. However, a glorious day of watching high school marching bands share their gift with us.
