We listen to the koala tots sleepy time podcast to try to help my 3 yo fall asleep and it works well on one of us I’ll let you guess which one 🙃

Anyone have any very engaging activities to keep kids learning after testing is done grades final? They'll have laptops for a bit but I've been told they collect them pretty early before the end of the year so there will be at least a week maybe two with no laptops.

For the second time this year, I’m a victim of budget cuts and my coaching position is being eliminated 😭. Please let me know if you know of anything math ed related (or something education adjacent)! Thanks!

A month into my new math coaching job, I’m really enjoying being back in a school and getting to work w teachers and students but I feel like I’m going to struggle being in a big county. There is a lot of support, which is nice and in opposition to my tiny school coaching job, but the testing 1/3

This is hands down my favorite part of NCTM so you BETTER be there!!! #NCTMATL25

Anyone used the Solve Me Mobiles website recently? Doesn’t work for me (get the small screen warning then it just says loading forever). 😭 #ITeachMath

NCTM!!!!!! Who’s going??

In case you were following my saga I got a new job and it’s actually one I want to do 🙌🏻 🎉🥳👏🏻

!!!

NCTM people! Idk how many people use this website lol but I love in the Atlanta area so am planning to come and hover around but not attend the actual conference. Would love to see people are grab lunch or something!! Let me know if you wanna hang! #ITeachMath

Anyone happen to know any grants that non-profits can apply for for curriculum.. and/or specifically creating stem materials.. and/or specifically for underserved populations?

I just saw a commercial for Botox and there were testimonials from people explaining why they needed it and they had TWO people saying “I smile a lot” and the fact that we feel like we need to hide the evidence of us smiling??? Makes me soso sad (at least I won’t have to worry about crows feet!?!)

Hello again internet friends I’m still looking for a jobbbbbb!! Help a girl out 🙏🏻😅

A very mathy week for #tmwyk We have a system where he gets 3 “dots” to use to call us into his room after he’s in bed. My child: MAMA! Come here! Me: if I come in I’m taking a dot MC: no dadas going to take a dot Me: if I come in I take a dot MC: okay you can take 1 dot and dada will have 2

Me: “we can do that in 1 minute” My child: “I will count to 1!” Me: “you need to count to 60” MC: “okay! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 60!” Me: “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6” MC: “60! 6! 60 is like 6!” Me:

Do you think AC/DC would be happy to know my 2 year old’s fav song is thunderstruck?

My (curriculum) company laid off almost all of its curriculum team last week, myself included. The kept some of us around to finish out our current projects, some they axed immediately. Looking for a new job in curriculum is rough because districts seem to usually hire internally, curriculum +

Math language question (as per usual). ✅“There are dozens of snakes” ✅”There are hundreds of snakes” ✅”There are thousands of snakes” 🤔”There are tens of snakes” Why?

This is the article of my dreams. Finally, finally delving into the ways in which cochlear implants can fail deaf kids, and the importance of early sign language - all upside, no downside. Amazing work, @cathleenogrady.bsky.social !

I love this discussion and also I dislike English 🫠

One thing I actually love about teacher social media is that you can totally tell who’s a great teacher by the way they talk about kids (in general and their students specifically). It’s really nice to hear people talk so fondly about students.

I've now listened to this episode of @pjvogt.bsky.social's Search Engine on which I appear and I cannot recommend it enough, not because of me, but because it frames the challenge of ChatGPT in schools and student writing better than anything I've seen or heard. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

This is a really great explanation about why the way we represent data matters (also just a good way to help students understand diff kinds of functions) #ITeachMath Full video link www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2hBAChv/

Isn’t tenths of an inch a weird way to measure?? Are there other places we use tenths of an inch?

My toddlers new favorite song is Thunderstruck. He requests it by saying “Mama I listen Thunder by ABCs!!”

a THREAD ‼️

Also, to be clear, most mainstream schools don't care about the education deaf students receive. Deaf school: I was certified ELA, they gave me a reading class, and said I had to be certified in Reading too. Mainstream: I had 3 math classes, 3 social studies classes, 1 ELA, and computers.

I love a baby toddler but the aquarium has reminded me of how fun bigger kids are. We have a pass so we went twice recently and the day that there were field trips there was so much more fun with the kids w their friends being joyful and excited. Kids w their families.. not nearly as excited.

There’s a new episode of Homecooking out (podcast with Samin Nosrat and Hrishi Hirway that hasn’t had a new episode in like 2 years) and it just immediately made me smile when I turned it on. I need more podcasts like that.

My favorite print from liberaljane.store “English is a language, not a way to measure someone’s intelligence.”

For dinner my toddler requested a cheese quesadilla, no cheese. I offered him a tortilla and he said no thanks I don’t like tortillas

I have been thinking a lot about the feedback bots in the various NYT games (I've muted the name of the word one, so FYI if you want to discuss).

Hey y'all, I only need a few more folks to get the Parents of Deaf Kids starter pack off the ground. If you're a parent (hearing or d/Deaf) interested in #ASL or #signlanguage , #bilingualism , Deaf culture and #deafed , reply to this post and I'll put you in the pack.

The girlzzz and Raffi 😂🎶

Spent some time on Twitter arguing with some of the “EVERY child needs phonics” people (I will not be doing that here) but something to keep in mind with all of our sweeping edu generalizations.. there are probably kids you didn’t consider/don’t even know exist so let’s just not

Deaf readers are the ultimate plot twist for the Science of Reading. SoR insists sound-based approaches (oral language, phonics, phonological awareness) are required. Yet here we are, a whole community of deaf folks reading without hearing or speaking a word. What does that tell you?

This is actually really helpful from the weather channel app

New #JWST image just dropped 🔭🐡🧪

What do we think they mean by “up to” 100% leakproof? Isn’t everything up to 100% leakproof?

One thing I did not expect to be quite so rough in parenting was not being the preferred parent. The frequency with which it makes me cry feels silly but myyy goodness having a 2 year old you made scream “I don’t like you I want dada” at you will really just stab you in the heart +

I have listened to wrecking ball ~400 times in the last 2 weeks 🥴

I set a time limit on certain apps on my phone for the past couple of weeks and it was a good choice (I ignored my time limit so I could skeet this)

I’ve recently been thinking back to my interview for my teaching job and them asking me something like “are you comfortable with standards based lesson planning” or something like that and I was like um sure and not til later did I realize it just meant there were zero curriculum materials 😭

Stop assuming Deaf people can’t do anything because of “communication barriers” because like… ??? Deaf people have always been able to find multiple ways to communicate. You just don’t wanna do anything other than speak.. the barrier is YOU in those situations.
