Alright. Here's how the legendary Kent Pavelka (@KentPavelka) called it. Crank it up and tell all your friends. bsky.app/profile/bubbap…

Way to go @danwitte for being Schoo’s 2026 Inspire Award winner!! Well deserved honor. He is a fantastic teacher and great friend. #LetsSchoo

We're, for sure, going to win a tournament game as a #1 seed!

Three tournament championships in less than a year?! #huskers

Kenneth Williams did not want the score to be 6-7. #Huskers

The outcome of this game will not affect my perception of the team. The outcome of this game will not affect my perception of the team. The outcome of this game will not affect my perception of the team. #Huskers

Just watched a state record tying field goal. 59 yards by a Hasting Tiger! #nebpreps

Hey, we’re making field goals this year. #Huskers

@HapperShow As a Korean growing up on a southwest Nebraska farm, I definitely did not have curly hair.

If you lived in the 80s, did you have curly hair?

I FINALLY DID IT! #iykyk #ffvii

Little late, but finished up the HS track season with three horizontal jump state qualifiers and one medalist. Gotta lot to look forward to!

@Producer_Josh with a Fastball reference. #TheWay

@Sean_Callahan i do prime rib for the past few Christmases. The 500-degree, then 2 hour method. Remember last year you said on the podcast you put veggies under the roast. Tried it this year. Veggies roasting in beef fat, plus less smoky oven. Game changer.

Back home, going through my old stuff. My son doesn’t understand how awesome he’d be if he brought this back to the city. #Huskers

Student made these cutting boards "with your name in Ariel font." Another student said, "No! Use comic sans!" My hatred for comic sans is well known. While one of the best student Xmas gifts and objectively hilarious, a burning white hatred will seethe through me when I use it.

Finishing up the semester, but still doing activities relevant to the curriculum. Students describe how to draw an object to their partner without the partner seeing the drawing. They also can’t watch what the other is drawing. Love the conversations after the reveal.

Today in class, we were talking about movies. Student: "What about Clue?" Me: *eyes widen "You know Clue?!" Five friends all light up: "We watched it this weekend at her birthday. We love it!" There might be hope for this generation after all.

If I close my eyes, I’d swear Ryan Seacrest is the TV commentator.

@cjxgator Maybe next semester! When students pick, I just let them open up Google Maps, randomly find an area of the US, and then zoom in and search for a middle school in that area. Usually enough variety. But if I remember, I'll hit you up. One MS in Reno sent us back tshirts!

Each semester, my class sends letters to other US middle schools. Writing about our school and looking for similarities/differences across the country. Thanks to our first returns! Mountain View MS (@CVSDnews), @HCP_Eagles, Polaris K-12 (@ASDschools), Glen Edwards MS (@WPUSD).
