We are filling up a huge #SFB16 wave for this week!

We won an Emmy! We are thrilled to share that our film, "What Japan's Atom Bomb Survivors Have Taught Us About the Dangers of Nuclear War," won a News Emmy. Thank you to @theemmys.tv for recognizing this important story. Watch the video here: retroreport.org/video/what-j...

🍎 Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek from everyone at Retro Report! We are grateful to work with so many inspiring, hardworking, and talented teachers across the country. Thank you for shaping future generations of thinkers and changemakers.

Second year in a row I got to climb into an unmarked van to act as a panelist for the annual CSPAN Cram for the Exam. So thankful for the opportunity and hope it helps kids for Tuesday’s test.

Calvin and his friends are competing for this Super Bowl pint glass full of candy in @explosiveoutput.bsky.social’s prop game. Still have time to order yours before kickoff! www.etsy.com/listing/4449...

I hear the lesson and student activity for this one is pretty good. 😉

Summer reading list ✅

Sports so often are used as a distraction for all the problems around us Do not be distracted by what's really going on

Plug number two. With the new semester starting tomorrow and PLENTY of news to cover @hannahrcmc.bsky.social @capodice.bsky.social and @civics101pod.bsky.social have a fantastic 19 minute summary of “What’s Happening with Venezuela?” Take a listen. www.civics101podcast.org/civics-101-e...

Two plugs for today. First one, as someone who teaches high school seniors, I REALLY want to incorporate tbis into the new semester starting tomorrow. Will DEFINITELY use it to start the next school year. Great work yet again, @pablo.show and @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social

Winning our rivalry game means the ball boy got to hold the trophy postgame. So happy for our team and school.

✊🏼🇺🇸 Let’s Do This! 🇺🇸✊🏼

I know this guy! DEFINITELY needed more than one cut.

Just hanging with my 13 year old and watching @explosiveoutput.bsky.social and @scottfish.bsky.social talking waiver wire on #ffad.

Changed things up and decided to have @civics101pod.bsky.social @hannahrcmc.bsky.social @capodice.bsky.social @rwerenka.bsky.social and the @constitutionctr.bsky.social teach my AP students about Fed. 10 today. Thanks!

Any day with @lindarmonkjd.bsky.social and Carol Berkin talking about the Constitutional Convention is a good day!

Big thanks to @dynastyrich.bsky.social and @johnbosch.bsky.social for hosting the Cleveland Scott Fish Bowl 15 Draft! My kids are having more fun than I am!! And an especially big thank you to @scottfish.bsky.social for putting it ALL together. #SFB15 @fantasycaresorg.bsky.social

This is an AWESOME opportunity! A weekend with @retroreport.org and the @constitutionctr.bsky.social apply!

Year 2 of drafting in Cleveland. Thank you @scottfish.bsky.social for including me for a fourth year. Excited to meet some new people and catch up with some friends from last year! #SFB15

So thankful to work with this group!

@retroreport.org ALWAYS brings the goods just in time for Teacher Appreciation Week. Happy to rock my new jacket today

@theotherrbg.bsky.social just spotted at my library.

It was an absolutely surreal experience being a panelist on the 17th Annual Cram for the Exam AP Government review on @cspanwj.bsky.social. Thank you @rwerenka.bsky.social for asking me to join you. AP Gov teachers, I hope we helped. And no, I don’t live in a downtown SF high rise.

Cue Jessie Spano. “I’m so excited! I’m so excited. I’m so SCARED!”

Step into the @constitutionctr.bsky.social gift shop and what do I see? @capodice.bsky.social @hannahrcmc.bsky.social @civics101pod.bsky.social

Amidst all the chaos I do have some good news to share. I’ve received the 2025 James Madison Fellowship. It’s been absolutely surreal. So thankful for all the people who encouraged and supported me to get to this point.

Gettysburg College MA in American History is a great program. Give it a look!

Had such a great time last night. Thank you to Michael Lewis, Sarah Vowell, Dave Eggers, and @wkamaubell.bsky.social for talking about their new book, Who is Government. I left feeling a little more hopeful.

The Civic Learning Week national forum was such a great day. Inspiring panels and an opportunity to connect with so many great people.

A HUGE thank you to @daltonjohnson.bsky.social for helping Calvin with his Career Exploration project. Proud of all you’ve achieved and thankful for your willingness to help the next generation.

@marcasg.bsky.social @minakimes.bsky.social my 6th grader is doing a career exploration project about being an NFL Analyst. Have any advice or stories you can share with him? Thank you!

Had a great time presenting on @constitutionctr.bsky.social resources at the #CCSS25 Conference. “The Kevin’s” had great conversations with educators from all over the state.

First of two presentations at the CCSS Conference complete. Thank you @retroreport.org for letting me show teachers how I utilize your resources in my classes.

So, SO excited to be part of this group for the coming year.

They’re here and they’re awesome! Big thanks to @herberthistory.bsky.social #HATM

Pretty cool afternoon. Went to see the play “What the Constitution Means to Me.” A pre show reception included the League of Women Voters giving me a Certificate of Appreciation and book for our school library. I had NO idea they were doing this. So honored and thankful for the experience.

Family night at the theater tonight. So happy to take the boys now that they’re old enough. Especially nice time with the elder one, as all he listens to is the Hamilton Soundtrack and Queen’s Greatest Hits.

In news that no one should care about. 5 fantasy football leagues 4 playoff teams 3 league champions 2024 was my best fantasy football season ever. Yay me.

Had to sit on this surprise for a month, but finally got to give my brother the birthday present I acquired at the NCSS Conference. Thank you @hcrichardson.bsky.social for making his birthday extra special!

I thought the rule is if there’s two Monday Night Football games, one has to be good?

City brought in a covered ice rink for the Holidays. Great night out with the family and any time I can break out “just friends don’t skate in the dark to endless love” it’s a good night.

33. Would love to hear from the #edusky crew.

Big thanks to @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social @pablo.show @scottfish.bsky.social @btxj.bsky.social @civics101pod.bsky.social @capodice.bsky.social and all the people who brought me news, information, and entertainment this year.

@btxj.bsky.social is this Jeudy performance the revenge game by which all other revenge games will be judged?

How to best combat the Sunday scaries? HBO Yacht Rock documentary. It was just so smooth, enjoyable, and downright pleasant. Check it out whenever you need a 90ish minute pick me up.

Home from an amazing @ncssnetwork.bsky.social conference. 9 year old sees my new Thurgood Marshall finger puppet. “Who’s this? I don’t have a card about him” and proceeds to go grab his NPS Independence Mall trading cards from our 2022 Philly vacation. My heart is full.
