I made pupusas for the first time and both kids tried them and said they were good! 🤯 Including the 7 year old who declared that he didn't like pupusas before trying them. (Reader, he has had pupusas many times before 😒)

My favorite part of my kids playing school is when I make them break for lunch and they come into the "teachers lounge" for their break and talk about their students.

Which is why I appreciated the framing around hope as resistance!

Oh man, this is the exact opposite message of what my opening meetings this year were like. Lots of talk from my head about hope and the importance of hope. With the primary message being that hope is resistance, and it is not a response to our circumstances, but an active choice/mindset,

I made aquafaba meringues. They really do work!

Looks like about 2.5 weeks worth of tomatoes in my household.

DM me an email address and I'll share the folder with you.

My favorite math of democracy census lesson isn't a math lesson. We do a timeline of censuses and track who/what is counted and how that changes over time. I have documents from the national archives that I print out for students to use from each decenial census. Happy to share if you're interested!

What even are surveys really?

Okay, but tell me about the shirt...

😍

You can always do both!

I remember my third grade teacher crying w/ Bush the first. That is a core memory of mine.

Thanks for the advice! We'll probably try to do something along these lines. 🤞 we can get the reservations. Setting a reminder on the calendar. ⏰

I have google slides for that!

Super fun! It was our first time on that trail. We're already scheming about coming back and backpacking next year.

My family and I were up on the ridge this morning, walking through the clouds!
