Today a first grader saw my watch and told me: “Profe! You’re wearing a tiny little clock on you! I’ve never seen such a tiny little clock!” And damn did it make me feel like someone who was born in the 1900s

Since so many people wear smart watches these days, I wonder if it really was the first time this student has seen a mechanical watch

As I do each year I’m running the @unrwa.org 5K this year, a fundraiser! Last year we raised 1,025 and I’d love to beat that though I’m starting to fundraise later than I did last time. If you can chip in, here’s the link! getinvolved.unrwausa.org/fundraiser/7...

Early morning run in cool weather followed by a ginger latte, warm bubble bath and 90 min massage = best end to my week possible

As an elementary educator, I LOVE the movement to add more play back into schools. I’m glad my state passed a law mandating play in PreK-1 and encourages it up to grade 5. BUT…

Play is how children learn about the world. It should be encouraged and prioritized, even within academic settings. But turning play into a strict formula so that we can assess its outcomes is not it.

It takes something as magical as play and turns it into an academic pursuit, often stripping away a lot of the joy and creativity inherent to play in the process.

I get it. Schools need to prove how what they do is beneficial for learning, but here’s the thing… All play is learning!!! And that’s true whether or not a child creates a “play plan”. Ifs true regardless of if there are stated objectives for play.

I cannot stand the way some schools are implementing their version of “play” in which play is tied to specific learning outcomes, kids have to write a “play plan” outlining how they will play, strict procedures for how children will choose play are enforced, and the outcome of their play assessed.

Also, the comments on the instagram post where I first saw this are killing me. Some of my favs: This is a Michelin-Star restaurant of dysfunction. And I shall fine dine

So many teachers are quick to embrace AI because our job has always been untenable; way too much work for way too little compensation.
