@cshimala Beautiful city!!

The sunrise this morning in Chicago was bonkers! The shallow opening between the clouds and the horizon, plus the fog, created some amazing color and sun beams. I was running around trying to get as many cameras going as I could. This is a timelapse from one phone #ilwx

More than a 100° difference in 5 days sums up our entire existence in the Midwest

@joypcoffee As long as they are @WeRTiconderoga

sharp pencils. one of my greatest joys.

@itspeterbrown @sharii_ann The book is always better!

@sharii_ann If you think the movie is emotional you should check out the book! It explores many interesting and emotional subjects that didn’t make it into the movie.

Am I sobbing over a silly robot and the goose she raises. Yes... Yes I am. The Wild Robot is such a beautiful movie @itspeterbrown

When you are twinning twice in one week with a Kinder kiddo! #d83spartans

I’m shocked that this needs to be said, but: If you have a student who struggles to read, you should not blame the parents, for not reading enough. Lots of kids with dyslexia struggle to read despite having their parents read to them every day. You don’t know what happens in a kids home. Making assumptions like this is deeply offensive for the parents of kids with dyslexia. It also is a reflective of the disproven whole language model. Kids learning to read is not only a product of reading experience, for many kids it requires explicit instruction. Schools bear the primary responsibility for teaching kids to read, not parents.
