I'm wondering if you would be able to share an accessible version of this enticing article?

lol, looks better than the too-green honeydew, though. They usually taste like cardboard. Maybe it's cantaloupe time for us both?

Also, his abuse of the semicolon is disqualifying. Just freaking stop it.

Rich that his definition of intelligence is focusing on one thing at a time.

Imagine if women in power defined it instead? Intelligence as the capability to think about and do multiple things at once.

Those people who can only think about one thing at a time? Who can't multi-task?

Bless.

Wondering if anyone in my professional community on here works at a Community School or has significant experience with one? I'd love to learn more.

WOOOHOOOO! It's Mathical Book Prize day! Great titles here, and I'm especially thrilled to see Christopher Danielson's HOW DID YOU COUNT? win the Young Reader, grades K - 2 category! So thoroughly deserved.

Can they repeal pi being irrational while they're at it? It would be so much more convenient if it equaled, for example, 3

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

I see my feckless senator, Susan Collins, standing by with her hands clasped while he insults a professional woman right in front of her.

Please yell at your congressional representatives to impeach Pam Bondi. I'd do it too, but my congresswoman nearly threw a punch at a guy just after calling for it herself

We in Maine have been watching and learning closely, and we are recording just as much. Deep bow () to brave and tough Minnesotans.

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article.

Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

Bible-Based Lessons for Public Schools Get Final Approval in Texas The state’s board of education narrowly voted to allow schools to start using the reading and language arts curriculum next fall if they choose.

Time is zero-sum. When Texas adds Bible content to its curriculum, it is going to supplant, not supplement, other content.

The most remarkable example I've identified is their 5th grade teaching of MLK's Letter from a Birmingham Jail.

Portland and Lewiston, Maine are next on the list of diverse blue cities with governors that have stood up to Trump. The dread and fear among our neighbors and our daughters' friends and classmates is so real and so cruel that I want to scream my head off.

Here's our governor's response today.

"Maine knows what good law enforcement looks like. Our law enforcement are held to high professional standards, undergo substantial professional training, are accountable to the law, & I can tell you this, they don't wear a mask to shield their identities, & they don't arrest people to fill quotas."

ICE is headed to Maine The Mayors of Portland and Lewiston confirmed Wednesday ICE's imminent presence.

ICE is coming to Portland and Lewiston imminently, their mayors confirmed today. Both cities have large Somali populations.

When reached for comment, ICE wouldn’t even confirm whether or not this action was happening.

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

Measuring Growth in Mathematical Reasoning: What Mia’s ThinkingΒ Reveals Mia is a fourth grader who participates in a small-group intervention with me that focuses on multiplication. She is enthusiastic and playful -- curling the dot in the i in her name into a heart, and narrating her thinking with droll asides like "I promise I have a better strategy... maybe." She is also hardworking, and collaborates well with the other students in the group.

Measuring Growth in Mathematical Reasoning: What Mia’s Thinking Reveals

In December, Mia correctly answered 10 out of 12 questions. Again.
And yet, the December interview demonstrated significant growth. How?
