Alright, y'all! I'm soliciting Math Jokes for the opening session at CMC-South. Hit me. Waddaya got? #CMCmath

Hey, anybody who's attending #CMCmath in Palm Springs and doesn't want to type out the huge URL for the program, I made a short one. bit.ly/cmcs2025

Some of y’all may have heard: I am thrilled to accept a position at two Elementary schools! More joy, more hugs, different flavors of complexity, and I tower over everyone at the site.

Offspring: Dad, I think today is June 0th. Me: (He pronounced it ZEE-rowth) #tmwyk

Yeah, @duolingoesp.bsky.social knows.

My offspring chose this fit for her last day of school and wanted to show me. 😍 #ITeachMath #YouAreAMathPerson

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

Okay, I'm gonna say it. @peterliljedahl.bsky.social has a fantastic teaching structure that has transformed classrooms. And "Building Thinking Classrooms" isn't a snappy name for it. Here are some suggestions from ChatGPT: Think First Math Stand & Solve Math in Motion (taken) Brains On, Hands On

Here’s the Ignote I just did at @nctm.org virtual conference: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8j8uXcv/

I just did my Ignite talk at @nctm.org Virtual. (Video coming soon) Here are the books i referenced: Dreamkeepers by Gloria Ladson-Billings For White Folks who Teach in the Hood (and the rest of y'all, too) by Dr. Chris Emdin +

So proud to be a part of Fontana Unified, taking a strong stance in defense of immigrant rights in California.

Final thought “Lamar is creating art at the intersection of Black men being the world’s scariest boogie men and the world’s most profitable commodity. And I think he’s accepted that’s where he is.” All quotes from The Youths™️

“Every system of injustice depends on the silence, paralysis, confusion, and cooperation of those seeks to eliminate and control.“ I am late to the game on this book, but excited to start.

“I can’t right now think of a better purpose in life than to be a teacher. To teach feels like you are a guardian of time itself, protecting the future happiness of the world via the minds that are yet to shape it.

Emotionally, it was surprisingly easy to delete 13 years of the bird-website after the lead guy's nonsense this week. I downloaded it first, here's a picture of my kid from that first few months of my bird-site account.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

It’s a windy day in Fontana! Stay safe out there!

I would like to lodge a formal complaint against the words “numerator” and “denominator.” If we wanted people to hate fractions more, we could not have picked better words.

Friends from #CMCmath earlier this month: If you attended the Social Dinner at Shakey's on Friday, we'd love to hear how it went! Please take this 90-second survey: bit.ly/cmcdinner24feedback

“Equity without excellence is low expectations. Excellence without equity is exclusion.” Reminds me of “we want the best candidate for the job” or “the top students get the honors.” (This is at the #Equity Task Force for my district)

THIS is why I trust @dingleteach.bsky.social’s judgment. Just scrolling through my feed and she’ll drop some bars like AND I WILL NOT BE A SLAVE TO PERFECTION, and suddenly I’m inspired and galvanized. 💪🏻

After lunch, we’ll be discussing 3 ways that schools can be unfair to kids, what we can do about it, and how to do Equity work without burning out. Join us in Primrose D! #CMCmath

At this point, Jeremiah said “The double integration is pretty straightforward.” I’m a B I T out of my league here, but we’re doing math, so I’m happy. #CMCmath

I'm loving this quote, but there's nowhere in my #CMCmath session to put it, so I'll put it here: A reduction of injustice is not the same as freedom. —Ella Baker

Back by popular demand, the CMC Social Dinner at #CMCmath South! Click below for more information: bit.ly/cmcdinner2024

We're getting stoked for #CMCmath coming up this season! Each session I write is the boldest one I've ever done, and this will be no different. 🤠

Okay, let's figure out cross-posting. I've spent over a decade on the medium-formerly-known-as-Twitter, and some of that stuff I want to bring this way.

(taps mic) Hello! I'm glad to be here and look forward to meeting you all! (squints) Anybody there? ... Well, I'm going to move forward as if someone's listening. Let's go!

I'll tell you one thing, with public education in this country having a giant target on its back, no better time to have a classroom teacher step forward on the national stage
