My heraldic colors (see my profile pic!) are blue and white, so that's probably what I would choose - though I might choose greens; I'm a Laurel apprentice, so I have a green belt. I do tend to go for shades of those two colors most of the time, even in modern clothes.

2,150 miles to Antlers, Oklahoma, where Mom's parents lived. Though at that time, it'd have been much longer, because the Interstates obviously didn't exist yet. I'm not sure where Dad's parents lived at the time - New Jersey or New York, but I'm not sure which and I'm not sure exactly where.

Students are supposed to be able to choose the shape of their sails, so they need to make them, and the whole structure has to be solid enough to lift a load of washers ~60 cm. I could carve their sails myself, but that's 30 sails - potentially more, if the kids want more than 3 on their hub.

This is a district-wide curriculum adoption (Project Lead the Way), but I'll certainly bring it up.

Unfortunately, this is what we've got in the kits we were provided.

Certainly - that's why I cropped everyone out! :)

Uuuuugh!!! Oh, there are some real icks to teaching. I was half expecting it to be dried mucus or something, but mould is as bad!

For the first two:

😆 (but not really)

A student asked me, "What are we doing today?"

I answered, "The same thing we do every day, Pinky: Try to take over the WORLD!"

Blank look.

I haven't used this functionality in years, so I may be waaaaaay out of date (I now teach Career & Tech Ed), but I used to use Microsoft Word for this. If you have a subscription through your school district, it's effectively free.
