Need to come up for air… pretty much full duty, all day, including new folks and oh, all kinds of assorted things. I am fully, 100% appreciating the literal meaning of “telling tales out of school, ” and I shall not. Just say that … I brought my laptop home. No way am I […]

Okay, I don’t ‘think visually’ so I couldn’t begin to tell you what a person could make… but I saw this https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/ready-set-make and thought… oh, even *I* could make manipulatives… really creative manipulatives… with that thing. Hmmm… It’ll be on my grant list 🙂 (It’s over a hundred dollars on W00t today.. and I […]

(noting that I need to keep doing that :)) So I read in a blog about a teacher doing some “call and response” with his students.

I’m not distractible but I had an ad from Woot! in my mailbox, which had a monkey image that made me think of “think geek!” so I started to type that into the window to see what was on sale there, but the autocomplete went to “thinkport.org” so I went there instead. PBS has courses […]

… after some serious craziness with “that furniture we said you could have a month ago, then said you coudln’t have? Well, get it today!” and the subsequent required work orders to move computers to make it happen which were of course dumped in the middle of prep for classes with severely understaffed computer […]
