Have to share....my middle schoolers had fun with this lesson I created after PD with awesome @adobeexpress.adobe.com for PUSD educators. Working to develop our voice in writing, and then using our voices to add another layer of realness.

Society expects schools to fill in the gaps where our social safety net is failing families.

Food. Clothing. Health, Vision, and Dental Care. Mental health. Transportation. Trauma recovery.

The holes in the safety net keep getting bigger, and our resources are dwindling.

These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.

Useful info for those in the CA Bay Area

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Your honesty in Turtles All the Way Down inspired my own YA story about living with disabilities I actually have. Any advice, as I hope to publish my book this year? 🐢💚 (Your are my mentor author) From Chloe again.

Is it real or fake? Case File #2 Today we have our second case file and today I'm going to present it, instead of Mrs. HIghfill. The question for today is Does John Green have Tuberculosis? Is it real or is it fake? Case File #2: Doe...

Have you tried @figma.com FigJam templates? I made a bulletin board template and have already revised it with my class figma.com/community/file/1457074751016126412/digital-bulletin-board
We changed it to 'Question of the Week' & they are into it! Love what they will share on these dynamic boards!

Vouchers are a scam.

Sesame Street will be putting a huge collection of episodes on YouTube starting in January 2026

This is a fantastic way to educate children

It’s a form of resistance.

Shows like Sesame Street teach love, tolerance, acceptance & more.

These lessons are crucial for the long fight ahead.

Phang: The judge notes that the MacArthur Park show of force was just sheer political theater.

Major General Sherman, objected, expressing concern that there would be a large number of people because it was Father’s Day. To which Bovino criticized him, questioning his loyalty to the country.

Thank you for this....I love a good deal, especially for a good read.

We had so much fun talking with @lisahighfill.bsky.social about #hyperdocs.
We learned so much! Blessings

Great to connect with you both about purposeful lesson design! These are the conversations that bring me the energy and excitement to teach.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

Yes! After 31yrs teaching, Im now spending my summer getting my CTE credential. Working in my district's Educational Options department, in a hybrid, virtual PBL school...AND love talking about how to do school different!

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The death and destruction we're seeing now is 100% bc of Trump & Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

What It Means to Tell the Truth About America And what happens when empirical fact is labeled “improper ideology”

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.”

So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

Yes, Id love to join you. Let me know how I can reach out to connect.

I’d love to be a part of that discussion. I can definitely define them for many different uses! #hyerdocs

The Society for Historians of the Early American Republic is asking the public to help them track changes the Trump Admin is making to history-- in national parks, websites, wherever. Please share-- and please contribute! thepanorama.shear.org/2025/04/09/t...

For our reading club, my student talked me into reading Starfish by Lisa Fipps. It's heartbreaking, but her way of explaining what middle school is like for her.

Have to say, I use this image so often with my middle schoolers...so helpful for frame of reference. It opens up a lot of curiosities and connections! infographicsite.com/infographic/...
