Love it when Wadsworth and Nordonia are at the same XC meet! I can cheer on my daughter AND my students!

@DanWuori Since “da-da” sounds nothing like father, is this where the name originated? Babies started saying “da-da” first and a man said, “look they said my name! I’m Dada!”

Don’t take it personally, Mom. Cross cultural research suggests that “Dada” is very commonly the first person that babies identify by name. And the reason may actually be beautiful. But first let’s explore the question of when a word is really a word. Language development begins with cooing and the babbling of repetitious syllables. “Dada” is very commonly one of these initial vocalizations, even before the child actually associates it with a particular meaning. (Sorry, Dad, but it’s probably not an expression of preference.) Around 9-12 months, however, babies do start associating meaning with sounds. And dad frequently IS first in line here. Why? One theory is that babies are so closely bonded to their mothers early in life that they actually view their mothers as an extension of themselves. This line of thinking suggests that Dad may be identified first because he’s the first person identifiable outside of this precious mother-baby unit. So not only is the identification of fathers likely not an expression of preference, it actually may say something very special about just how closely mother and baby are bonded. And that’s amazing. ❤️ Who did your child identify first? 🎥 alyssaberryxx TT

Can’t wait! Always such a fun day!

@emilykmay My kids loved this when they were little. Can use rotisserie chicken to keep it super easy: #wprm-recipe-container-122708" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">spendwithpennies.com/quick-simple-c…

Favorite dinner that I can assemble during nap time so my husband can just stick it in the oven when he gets off work? Kids have swim lessons @ 4 pm today and will come home v hungry 🫠

@notphlogiston @heymrsbond Yes! Writing the menu out weekly is great! Anyone with a spare few minutes can prep something!

@heymrsbond Then I would cook another round at Christmas break to get me through the rest of the year.

@heymrsbond I cooked freezer meals ahead in the summer and that covered 2 nights a week. The rest was lots of easy stuff (salads, pasta, etc). Also, use curbside pickup to buy groceries. Big time saver.

Nobody celebrates Pi Day like @NordoniaSchools math department!! Even on ACT day they still managed to get our staff excited for 3.14. Nicely done! 💯#piDay2023 #ourmathdeptrocks #teachersplay

Happy Pi Day! Teachers had fun after ACT testing participating in some Pi Themed activities. And if course, eating Pie!

Math talks from Kent State professors!

@DrJoeClark @Stadium_Mustard @RMFieldHouse And while we are on the subject: at Progressive Field, you can’t put onions on your hot dog, but Onion is in the hot dog race every game!!

I’m a die-hard Cleveland sports fan. I love my teams and always want to focus on the positive. But why can’t we get @Stadium_Mustard at @RMFieldHouse??? Travesty!

@joncoopertweets Prince, John Lennon, Tom Petty

If you could bring THREE of these music artists back to life, who would you choose?

@goldengateblond Well, he DID have plenty of time on his hands for a few days there. So freaking awesome!!

Love trivia? Join Nordonia High School’s newest club. …..Academic Challenge. See me in Room 302. #nordoniarocks

@findingmyquiet @k8roulette2 HS teacher here. My district did a teacher swap this year. I spent a day teaching 5th grade. It was eye opening. And exhausting.

@k8roulette2 And yet so many MS and HS teachers regard us as babysitters/placeholders until “the REAL learning happens.” Yes, someone has spoken those exact words to me in my career. Wish more people had a better understanding of a day in the life.

@melissaacarr HS math teacher. Thanks for considering!! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

Since my last one was so popular let’s do another! Teachers, drop your lists below! 🍎👇🏻 #clearthelist don’t forget about mine!

@bonedaddy821 @Mr_Rablin Forty is a luxury, dude. 26 here.

@Mr_Rablin Always fun to get the one hour lunch when the district leads PD. Sometimes even longer but then snap back to reality with a 40 minute lunch when I’m teaching and busy as hell.

Alright friends, It's August. PD is coming. Here's the bingo board. What am I missing?

@JohnHansel14 Happy Birthday, Emily!!
