Today #BurkeChem students practiced recognizing isotopes and writing atomic/isotope notation by interpreting and making models(some stations pictured here). ⚛️ Retro-active props to whoever suggested at @ChemEd2019 to use tinier beads for electrons! #iteachchem @OPS_Burke

Stop scrolling, take a deep breath, and use the next few minutes to escape to a place where the air is sweet. 💛💚

It is okay to fail. I might not get it right the first time, but that does not stop me from trying again!

Teachers can spend every second of the day being productive and still feel like they are not doing enough. We need more realistic expectations or more prep time. Preferably both.

Science of learning TL;DR ➡️ Remembering stuff is good. ➡️ To think, you need stuff to think with. ➡️ If you have stuff in your long-term memory you can think about stuff much more deeply. ➡️ Retrieving stuff from your long-term memory helps it stay there. ➡️ Retrieval doesn’t…

John Amos and James Earl Jones dying just 3 weeks apart from each other is just devastatingly sad. RIP to these great men of television and film 🙏🏾🕊️


AP Chem kid asked jokingly today, at the start of the U2 test - "is crying allowed [during the test]?" ... "Technically, your tears are solutions, so go for it." 😂 Stu#2 - "Last year I asked that on the AP Calc test, and the lady said, 'just don't get the paper wet'." #APchem

When I taught HS we used to ask what the MS teachers were doing with their time Now that I teach MS I know. Surviving. That’s what MS teachers are doing It’s all a mess, y’all. Everyone is doing their level best to get some educating accomplished. Just back off the blame game

If you fuss at a kid publicly, try to give them an *equally* public chance at redemption (or some other reminder that it’s all love) the SAME period. Call on them, joke with them, smile at them, etc Our brains are set up to remember how things end. It’s important to end well.

Frequent advice to new teachers is “build better relationships.” That’s vague and almost impossible to act on. Experienced teachers: what’s one *actionable* practice a new teacher can try tomorrow?

Schools lost a lot during Covid, the worst of which was students disconnecting from schools. @OPS_Burke’s @drasmussen43 knows you build back by engaging with students. “Do you have a #DogPound shirt yet? What size do you need.” #BrickByBrick #LetsGoBulldogs @OmahaPubSchool

I’m curious. Our Congressional Delegation goes to the border several times for photo ops to remind us of the crisis. Who will be flying to Georgia? Isn’t our kids getting shot a crisis? We can still have guns and protect our kids. Why is everything too hard to fix for you all?

"Tucker & Dale vs. Evil", for sure! More than one scene. The bromance, the friend affirmations all mixed up with miscommunications, unfortunate accidents and horror trope - it's a gem! 😂

What movie had you laughing, unable to breathe, even just for one scene?
