I have my students bring a running vocabulary of the words from the passage. Only the definition is in English. Nothing else.

They refer to it as they read.

To encourage them, I give pop quizzes where I ask them to define randomly chosen words while using their notes. Easy grade.

It’s very depressing when compared to CLC

Many of the Cambridge people wrote Suburani, so it's presented in the same manner.

Agreed that some of the CLC stories were problematic. I just skipped those.

I loved teaching Cambridge! Used it for over 20 years.

My district now uses Suburani. It’s good, but not fun and ridiculous like Cambridge.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Similar thing happened to my mom about me

I’m now a teacher and begin any phone call with so many descriptors about the kid that the parent can stop me if I’m wrong.

One of my favorite professors, Gareth Morgan, used to say, β€œWhy would you name a prophylactic after a group of people who let their guard down, letting in so many foreign bodies?”

This book by @litpress.bsky.social sounded interesting so I bought it.

Don’t know if the poor binding and upside down text are my first test in not being judgmental or just publishing errors.

As usual, she didn’t kill it. Just plays with it.

Just a reminder that the Commander-in-Chief of the Louisiana National Guard, who can call them out all by himself if they were actually needed, is … Governor Landry.

Wow. The fine folks at @tslac.bsky.social have surpassed themselves with this fantastic photo of the 11th street courthouse and stone jail in Austin. This was located directly south of the capitol building. That road is 11th street, running east and west. The capitol is directly right.

Abigail Jackson saying: Democrats, calling your political opponents Nazis has consequences. 

Study: Left-wing terrorism climbs to 30-year high

And posting a graph from Axios that shows WAY WAY WAY more right wing terrorism, and showing a very slight increase in left wing terrorism this year that would still have it lower than basically every other year of right wing terrorism.

White House Deputy Press Secretary seen here posting data showing how much more prevalent right wing domestic terrorism is than left wing domestic terrorism... while thinking she's showing the reverse.

Apparently she can only read headlines, but not the actual graph with the data.

El Paso once had a trolley system that ran from 1882 all the way into the early 1970s. It didn’t just move folks across townβ€”it carried them across the border, too. For 70+ years, streetcars rattled between El Paso and JuΓ‘rez, the first trolley between two nations in history.
