Beyonce: “Drop the new music.” Me:

Twitter just told me it’s my “X” anniversary and wants me to celebrate with a post using the hashtag #MyXAnniversary but I do not recognize X as my Twitter, so maybe I’ll celebrate by joining threads?

@TedNesi @wpri12 Mayor DaSilva: Come visit lovely East Providence! RIDOT: 195 is shut down. Mayor DaSilva:

“Please plan your commute accordingly.” 🏊‍♂️

@EduQuinn @MrAleoSays Tooootally!! This board has a bunch of Beyoncé resources if you want to use any, Trevor! pin.it/7mDOeUz

@MrAleoSays @PaperWithPencil...fewla like something you would have done…

Any Ts have experience teaching Beyoncé’s Lemonade? Considering using it as a paired text with Morrison’s Sula and am curious about others experiences. For context: -Limited ⏰, so Ss would socially annotate. -10th grade so permission slips? -Unit EQs below #elachat #engchat

@betsyyoung2 I haven’t even checked it out yet; I’m not game for a new platform, but I do miss this old one in its former form!

Sometimes I walk by people in the grocery store westing three fewer layers than me and think aren’t you freezing? Anyway, I miss the old Twitter.

@harikondabolu Ahhh amazing!!

@PaperWithPencil Providence! Nov 19, 2023! tixr.com/groups/columbu…

@harikondabolu I will remember these requests when I officially ask you for an interview, which will be next time you're near Providence!

Let’s face it: you will have more options in life being bilingual. By improving multilingual education, we have a chance to lift up the opportunities our students.

We have an archaic assessment system based on standardized tests that don't begin to measure the full scope of what a student knows and is able to do. These tests are flawed and biased—we must reimagine what assessments look like in this country.

@SherylCrow @Adopt_classroom This is so awesome! Here’s my children’s book list for our multilingual learner students! Thank you for considering helping to support our students on their English learning journey! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

“The adolescent mental-health crisis doesn’t end when all teenagers feel good. It ends when teenagers have the support they deserve and are able to cope effectively with the distress that they will invariably face.” -@LDamour newyorker.com/culture/the-ne…

“Within her career, Beyoncé has embodied many virtues: impeccable work ethic, enviable work-life balance, steadfast commitment to mentorship and building Black-centered community, visionary capabilities, dedication to craft… a formidable leader.” npr.org/2022/08/01/111…

📣Crossing guard needed next year for one of the coolest elementary schools in the state, BF Norton in Cumberland! Please pass on to anyone who might be interested! schoolspring.com/job.cfm?jid=42…

“There’s no denying – or really any need to explain - the power of Beyoncé. But allow us to, for a second… Sitting at the intersection of fashion, art and music, the megastar is a shapeshifter. A master of all trades. And a genius at that.” flannels.com/stylenews/post…

If you think standardized tests are a reflection of the real-world, just ask yourself how many problems in the real world have only one correct solution.

Big shoutout to all the teachers out there who have been working hard all year to educate and support our young people! It's a fun job, it's an important job, and it's an exhausterwhelmulating job.
