Excited to be the 76th 😻 on @BackerKit for The Azmile Versatile Pan. the-azmile-versatile-pan.backerkit.com/community_shar…

@KiethLee16 I haven’t spec’d stem stuff in a while, but I’ve seen some nice things with @birdbraintech . That would be a great place to start.

@JT_MakerLab what robot kit, or similar product would you recommend for STEM grades 3-5?

@ubeme Congratulations from a retirement rookie. Retirement is grand… so many projects on the horizon! Enjoy your last few days at school!

@NiallHarbison If dogs could talk, the stories they would tell!

He’s only been there about a week but you can tell by that photo of him sleeping that he’s fully at ease. He knows he is finally home forever. 🥰🥰🥰

I first met little Tommy about 10 months ago… 🌴 He was about 2 months old in the jungle with no mum or siblings 🦠 He disappeared for 3 days with parvo and we thought he’d died. 🦴 He then had his leg / hip broken and hid himself away. Only a local lady was able to show me where he’d hidden 👩‍⚕️ We got his operation and rehabbed him for 6 months 🏡 Decided he couldn’t go back on the streets as he would die ✈️ Last week he flew to his forever him in England. He took it all in his stride. Travel, weather, new family. No problem for Tommy. Rehoming a few street dogs won’t solve the overall problem like I hope to do. But people always ask me how I get over all the hard losses etc. The answer is seeing the photos and videos of dogs like Tommy in the last 30 seconds of this video and the looks on his new mums face. Absolutely priceless. 🥰🙏 Well done Tommy you did it

@AJA_Cortes Recently retired. New hobby is surf skating bowls. Learned to drop in 2 days ago. Retirement is extended playtime with an allowance.

Around your mid 30s is when you notice people stop taking up new hobbies the Majority or more or less solidified in their interests and routines So much of "aging" is simply becoming a more boring person

@MissC_1717 I recently started needle felting. Good intro courses on @skillshare. Also good inspiration in books on Amazon (print and kindle).

I’ve decided I need a new hobby for 2024. What do people do for fun? I’m not the most patient of people so I’m wondering if I would be able to teach myself to crochet or cross stitch 😅😂 I need something to occupy myself in the eves 🖤

@howie_hua Criss cross apple sauce

Make a math teacher cry in 4 words.

@spencerideas This someone doesn’t know he could just step over that little gate.

Someone doesn’t understand why he’s not allowed to help / taste test Christmas dinner 🥘 🤶 🎄

I can never remember which oils... stick with clean sourced animal products, olive oil, and avocado oil. I think coconut oil is ok too.

@brettboettcher1 My husband and I affectionately call this meal dog food. My dear old dog ate like this for years. Can add any vegetable (cooked or raw) and season with any sauce. Yum!

I’ve eaten some version of this for the past 2 weeks. Burger in a bowl 1) Browned up 6 lbs of beef 2) Reheat beef in microwave and add garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper 3) Add fixings Lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup, mustard, cottage cheese If the goal was weight loss I’d: -increase the veggies -sub cheese for more cottage cheese -choose a leaner cut If the goal was weight gain I’d: -pour olive oil in -add avocado mayo -choose a fattier cut -eat more $2.99/meal Less than 5 minutes to reheat and eat Anywhere from 400-1200 calorie lunch depending on your goals Autopilot Health

@MrsGong3 What aranet do you use? link?

Common sense explanation of non-masking behavior. I continue to mask in public despite husband and friends who choose not to. Last year I was the only teacher continuing to mask. Also didn’t miss school for illness unlike the others. I’ve never been one to follow the crowd.

@MrsGong3 Retirement... AMAZING!

@MrZachG Another good filler until the bell is the card game BLURT.

14/ Finally, there is one winner, who gets a sticker/treat. I time this just with the bell, but if it’s early, I do trivia (silent hands up, only) for the final seconds with the rest of the prizes. I front load that they must be seated when the bell rings, waiting for dismissal.

9/ When the work is out, I stand and monitor, moving my neck back and forth, making eye contact with each student. Then I circulate with purpose, looking at each assignment and giving non-verbal or verbal praise. “Here we go, now we’re talking. I need to see more writing.”

@MrZachG @davinaswims Kids LOVE silent ball. If they knew that teachers love it MORE, they wouldn’t fall for that trick! Well done!

@davinaswims You pass a ball around with a few rules - underhand only, bad throw you’re out, you drop it you’re out, talking you’re out. When you’re out you sit down or line up.

How I sub/cover a class* in a challenging school, a thread 🧵 *Remember, this is survival teaching. 1/ I grab the sub plans from the office and try to arrive before the students so I can prepare the room.

@BowTiedOx Friend's son went to classmate's b-day party where they served hot dogs. He asked, "What is THAT?"

Our philosophy with our son in regards to diet has been to basically only feed him “superfoods” Things like eggs, beef, salmon, veggies, blueberries, etc (breast milk too obviously). He’s never had anything that didn’t come from nature. Now, obviously we’ll never know how much diet attributes to this but we hear all the time from other people who have had kids just how happy, well behaved, & how far ahead he is with development. However some people will tell us how bad we are because we’re “depriving” him by not letting have little treats & sweets… which is funny because he has absolutely no idea what he’s missing out on. Our philosophy is that in these crucial developmental stages, we’d rather do everything we can right even if it doesn’t actually do a thing, rather than give him tasty junk & potentially costs him some of his development potential. Not saying we’re right or wrong but just sharing our philosophy for those who ask.

@MarcusLuther6 Twitter was my go to place for inspiration (STEM lessons). I retired just as X took over, and no longer the same.
