@oprahsbookclub Love @b_kingsolver ! So excited!

Our next Book Club pick is “Demon Copperhead” by Barbara Kingsolver. One of America’s most revered authors, Kingsolver’s new novel is an extraordinary coming-of-age tale set in Southern Appalachia, narrated by a truly unforgettable protagonist. Are you going to #ReadWithUs?

@jwhopewell Did Americans or British fire first at Lexington and Concord - they got loud arguing their sides. It was great!

In lieu of an “icebreaker” to launch the new school year..think about having each grade or team in your building have time to share, put their accomplishments together, share them with colleagues, students, parents and the community. Would celebrate teacher voice !

This is huge for Computer Science education. As a teacher of CS and as a teacher of teachers learning CS I am doing my part to increase CS in schools.

Bursting with pride (and feeling a little short😀) seeing one of my preschoolers walking the Mount Daniel halls as a soon-to-be FCCPS graduate! Congratulations, Class of 2022! @mdhippos #teamfccps @pollackscience

@Localtuna @BjornLomborg Thanks. I see that - I think overall he points out the good and bad of events like Earth Day, but I don't know that he addresses the benefits enough. Perhaps others are doing so, and that is enough.

@pollackscience @BjornLomborg “ Outdoor air pollution has declined dramatically in rich countries, in no small measure due to attention from the 1970 Earth Day and the legislation it inspired, such as the landmark US Clean Air Act enacted later that year.”

On #EarthDay2022, many people are surprised to hear the ­environment is improving. A lot. This surprise owes to an unfortunate flip side of the Earth Day legacy, which too often can ­focus on doom and gloom, making us despondent and driving poor policies. nypost.com/2020/04/21/50-…
