The victims of this tragedy aren’t receiving the level of attention they deserve,” she said. “Under any other circumstances, we’d know their names and their stories by now.” "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)" Song by Woody Guthrie Written 1948 Genre Protest song Composer(s) Martin Hoffman Lyricist(s) Woody Guthrie The crops are all in, and the peaches are rotten The oranges are packed in the creosote dumps They're flying us back to the Mexico border To pay all our money to wade back again Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita Adios mi amigos, Jesus and Maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane All they will call you will be Deportee Now my father's own father, he waded that river They took all the money her made in his life Six-hundred miles to the Mexico border They chased us like rustlers, like outlaws, like thieves Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita Adios mis amigos, Jesus and Maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane No all they will call you will be Deportee The sky-plane caught fire, over Los Gatos Canyon A big ball of fire, it shook all the ground Who are these friends, who are falling like dry leaves The radio said they were just deportees Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita Adios mis amigos, Jesus and Maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane No all they will call you will be Deportee But we died in your hills, we died in your valleys We died in your orchards, we died on your plains We died on your deserts, we died in your treetops Both sides of the river we died just the same Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita Adios mis amigos, Jesus and Maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane No all they will call you will be Deportee

What I Teach 3rd Graders
Lisa Shulman
Poem over 3 screen shots. What I Teach 3rd Graders Lisa Shulman I teach how to shake hands and raise hands and clap hands to appreciate. How to listen how to wait how to hold a pencil (not a gun). I teach that every sentence has a subject (The man) and a predicate (is shooting children) and some have a prepositional phrase (in their classroom.) I teach them to pause at a comma, to stop at a period and a ? means you are asking (Why? Why? Why?) I teach them to multiply legs on dogs fingers on hands (not shootings in schools), and how in subtraction you start with the bigger number and when you’re done taking away you have less. (17 less in Parkdale, 15 less in Columbine, 27 less in Sandy Hook.) I teach about places (unmarred by children murdered at school), the lives of people who have made a difference (not a massacre), how water can be absorbed or repelled (like blood on linoleum) and that some words, like repel, mean more than one thing. I teach them to walk quietly in a line when the fire alarm sounds, to duck and cover until the earth stops shaking, and to lay on the floor (like fish in a barrel) if a bad man comes. What I don’t tell them is in that hellish haze of gunfire and screams I plan to toss them like ragdolls behind bookshelves, stack them like cordwood behind cubbies, that my only calculation will be how many can I save, how many will I leave to die? So when I rescue a spider from the sink scoop it into a paper cup set it down among green leaves, they breathe as one, relieved, because I’ve taught them it’s wrong to kill small creatures.

I went to a different location today. And after donating platelets I asked for one of the dry pack things and I got one! They offered an umbrella, too, but I declined.

I'm usually a stickler for on time homework. I always accept it late, for a reduced amount (1 point penalty per class) and also homework is a very small percentage of the grade. So I usually don't accept excuses. But this feels excuse worthy!
Dear Sarah- Hi- my father and brother surprised ____ with Knicks tickets tonight and he did not get to complete his homework as he had therapy right after school. Could you please grant him an extension for Wednesday? Thank you,

Over/Under on his response? 😂
Email to me: Hi sarah, I will miss class on friday so what should I do to make up for the missed class. My response: Hi , On Friday we will be reviewing the laws and customs of Hanukkah. It will not be work in our regular packet on Torah reading. Would you like a refresher on Hanukkah laws? If so, I can print for you the worksheets we will be using to review. If not, it's okay and you don't have to make up anything. Thanks for letting me know, Sarah

Hank died. It's big news. (Not everyone calls him Hank. Not everyone had personal relationships with war criminals.)
An old tweet from June 2018, reading: Tonight I unearthed an old letter from Henry Kissinger to my grandfather, on the occasion of my father starting college. I also learned that in our nearly ten year relationship, I never mentioned to @avizollman that my grandfather and Henry Kissinger were college roommates. Oops. An old tweet from September 2019 reading: So my grandfather was roommates with Henry Kissinger in college (I think I've mentioned this before), and my grandmother was just telling some stories from their college days. A few hours later, @avizollman is still recalling incredulously: She calls a war criminal Hank. Hank!
